I am addicted to fresh relaxed edges, more so than fresh relaxed hair.. I started only relaxing my edges and not the rest of my hair but received damage in the process. Is it anyone else out there that goes through great lengths to keep the fresh edges look? If so do u have any suggestions of ways to keep straight edges without the chemicals all the time?
I LOVE MY EDGES FRESH AND RELAXED.. (addicted)

I like fresh and relaxed edges too but wavy edges with new growth can be addictive. Try pressing or flat ironing.

I've heard that the Tancho wax stick will lay your edges down. I've read a couple of magazine articles about Gabrielle Union where she mentions the Tancho stick. I think Tyra Banks uses it, too. If you do a search for "Tancho" you'll see some threads where it's mentioned.

i love straight edges too! i agree with the other poster (pressing comb or flat iron) but i wouldn't do it more than 2 times a week 
jam jell also smooths/packs down but won't straighten, or at least not my hair.
i forgot to mention, tying a scarf around the head also flattens new growth

Yea, I agree. But I think she's looking for that bone straight look. Am I correct? That's hard to maitain AND keep healthy hair- no matter what you do.

I prefer curly or wavy edges. Trying to maintain bone straight edges plays into perpetrating something we are not and wreaks too much havoc on our precious strands on a daily basis.
I have used the Maxiglide but won't press to get bone straight edges...they will kink up anyway b/c I run daily and sweat.

I haven't bought one yet - it's on my list of things to buy - so I can't recommend a particular site for it.
