How do people keep their 4-type edges & nape straight?

[p381]

I have 4 type hair (medium, not very coarse at all) and have been Texlaxed now for 2 months.
But i'm starting to get new growth and now my edges & nape hardly look texlaxed at all! And frankly (for want of a better word) now starting to look "nappy".

What i'd like to know is, how do you guys keep your edges & nape area looking neat/straight?
(Products i use & styles i wear are in my signature if that helps at all).

I'd like to know and my hair is natural. I've done it all toothbrush, aloe vera gel. When I saw B Smith with her locks on a re-run of Tyra, her hair was coarse too in the front and it looked like there was nothing to do but be proud and brush it up.

Best,

I use water, aloe vera gel and coconut oil with a satin scarf

I'm so glad you started this thread, 'cause I'm transitioning and my edges and nape look a HAM. The Fantasia IC Gel didn't work (crusty edges), aloe vera and water holds it down a little but it poof's right back up. Maybe I'm not keeping the scarf on long enough.

Embrace the napps. That's all one can really do... or get a relaxer.

Sure, you can lay them down for a bit, but they WILL napp back up. That's what napps do.

Hmmm...I'm natural and what works for me is castor oil + water + a hard hold gel with a scarf. The edges will indeed be very hard, but once it dries and I comb it out, they'll be flat until I wash again.
