How to make your own edge control at home

[@youopened_mandorasbox]

This looks easy to make. I’m definitely going to make this

[@kimberlycoltrainrsrccr2626]

Okay...so I didn't have the candellila oil but I did have beeswax. I used 1/2 the amount (because I think it's thicker than the candellila) and followed the recipe w everything else & I didn't havr ess oil but it smells just fine w/o it. Just a light kind of nothing scent. I tried it on myself first to make sure it doesn't go white & crusty before trying it on my daughter's. So far so good. Best part is it definitely does NOT have my edges screaming! So far so good.

[@LAurenrdaniels]

So glad it worked out!

[@kimberlycoltrainrsrccr2626]

Okay...so it's a day later. My edges are very fine (I'm a very short natural cut at 1/8" guard) so there wasn't much to hold, but I try everything on myself before my daughters hair (she's at 14" majority 4c at her crown & front). If it's a mess with mine, it's not much to wash out/fix. But for her it's a nightmare if I have to work it out. (I dabbed a little Murray's gel lock on the toothbrush because it's water soluble & isn't sticky & doesn't flake. I use the smallest amt mixed w vit e oil when I retwist her hair). The Murray's gave it a little more hold w/o melting more wax. I can see starting to tame her edges nicely w this. Still no flaking. Thank you!

If the heat is too high, it'll mess with the properties of the essential oils. I always wait until it cools down to 140-150. I use the same temperature when making soaps. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@durkbrian]

What a cute and wholesome way to tame those rogue hairs. Love it.

[@LAurenrdaniels]

Thanks Brian! Gotta keep ‘em in line lol

[@homehere9817]

Yay! No alcohol in the ingredients! It drys my hair and flakes my scalp and then causes itching!

🤔Could I make this with Batana oil ?

[@LAurenrdaniels]

Great idea!

[@SoSooLifestyleee]

Thank you ! I use this information today and my own ❤❤ will be bringing to my business

[@LAurenrdaniels]

Thanks for watching!

[@Wrightn221]

I just noticed the ingredients. Those are the same ingredients that I used for hair growth oil minus the wax. I do 50/50 of the oils and 6 drops per ounce of drops. I make lotion bars, and use beeswax.

[@donnahaynes]

It s a no for me this is just balm not edge control ☹️

[@Rosey-la-France]

That’s what I’m thinking that’s formula for hair food😭

[@jk9084]

Yup

[@bonitably4654]

Can you use paraffin wax beads if that’s the only wax you have

[@beauteannia2989]

Um I'm sorry but it doesn't even slick down it just added more oil to your hair ..I Do like the Process But U need to find another ingredients that allows it to lay down

[@toninj71]

Thanks for the information. I'm looking for a diy that will hold down. Guess I'll have to continue looking.

Love this Definitely doing this later today. Just found out the edge control I was using contained formaldehyde 🤮🤢☠️ like wtf.

[@TheIchigo287]

if you don’t mind me asking, what is formaldehyde?

[@kimberlycoltrainrsrccr2626]

@@TheIchigo287 Among other uses...The chemical formaldehyde is used to preserve bodies. What does it do exactly? Formaldehyde changes the tissue on a molecular level so that the bacteria can't feed on the tissue. You could say it tears apart the constructs of your tissue. Apr 10, 2018

Does heat make olive oil useless ?

Depends on how hot it gets

Please where can I get the candelilla wax from

Does this have strong hold for thick hair and does it flake?

[@LAurenrdaniels]

No flaking! It really does depend from person to person on how long it holds!

Hi. Can beeswax ration be cut in half and substituted for the Candelilla wax?

[@LAurenrdaniels]

Yes it can!

[@cheesecake24100]

It doesn’t have any hold

[@LAurenrdaniels]

This ratio provides the right amount of hold for me, but you may need to add more wax if we have different hair textures. You can take the batch you’ve already made add place it back in a double boiler along with an additional teaspoon or tablespoon of wax depending on how much you think you need.
