[MATILDE] I also wanted to talk about your edges.
[ALEECE] Okay.
[MATILDE] Are you someone that likes to style them? Do you leave them alone? What do you like to do?
[ALEECE] I style them when I can and if I, like I said, have the energy to. But overall, I would like that if I had more time to style my edges.
[MATILDE] Okay. Let’s give it a try. I like your ring by the way.
[ALEECE] Oh, thank you.
[MATILDE] One of the things that I talk about with edges is I know that they have become very popular lately.
[ALEECE] Very popular.
[MATILDE] Yes. You don’t have to feel intimidated and try to do them exactly like everyone else. Sometimes having just a manicured look of just taking them back a little bit works. There are different kinds of products. There is maximum hold. There is a gel. There is wax that you can use. It just depends on your curl pattern and if your hair is very coily. I’m going to use the max hold, just because it’s a gloomy day today. I’m going to start. I’m going to have you face this way and I like to just put the product straight on the hair. I’m going to actually hand this to you so I can show you. I like to just brush it down. I’m using a little toothbrush-looking brush and bring them down and over. Instead of making… if you want to, you can make a very beautiful style out of your edges. But this is something quick that just makes it look manicured and easy.
[ALEECE] It’s very nice.
[MATILDE] You don’t have to be intimidated. Always just brush down and back towards your braids. You can do the same thing here and we’ll just have them brushed down. Sometimes you can just let it go and let the curl be what it is.
[ALEECE] Oh, wow. I like this.
[MATILDE] Would you want to try it?
[ALEECE] I’ll try.
[MATILDE] Oh, yay.
[ALEECE] I’ll try a little bit.
[MATILDE] So here is the product. You can grab more too if you’d like.
[ALEECE] Okay. I can’t see it from here.
[MATILDE] Is that better?
[ALEECE] Yeah, that’s better.
[MATILDE] Yes. No. Yeah, you did it. You’re doing it. You’re totally doing it. I know. It’s intimidating and you think you’re doing it wrong, but you’re not.
[ALEECE] Okay. It’s coming out nice.
[MATILDE] It looks good.
[ALEECE] Okay. Thank you.
[MATILDE] You’re a professional. Oh my gosh. It looks so good. It looks better than mine. How did your arms feel?
[ALEECE] Not bad. It was pretty quick, the up and down motion…
[MATILDE] Oh, good.
[ALEECE] … so I’m not so fast.
[MATILDE] Okay. So, yeah, it is quick. Also, at the end of it, if you feel like it’s lifting a little bit, you can just… I have so much product on my hands. You can just add a little bit more. Just go through it with your finger instead of doing the whole brush movement all over again.
[ALEECE] Okay.
[MATILDE] Then that… then you let it dry. You can wrap it or you can just let it dry depending on how you’re feeling that day.
