Post-filming update: By the end of the day, I found that the Edgefull hair fibers had stayed put, and everything looked pretty much the way it had looked when I finished filming. I should note that I did not sweat, nor was I in any inclement weather, after the product was applied.
The fibers were removed easily from my hairline with my makeup remover and facial cleanser, though I did find it a bit messy (fibers wound up on my hands, around my sink, etc.). More than anything, I was very impressed with the "before and after" images, which I did not see until I was editing the video! This product made a massive difference in the appearance of my hairline/fivehead, and I will definitely be continuing to use it.
Though I will primarily be leaving my edges the hell alone, I'm happy to have been introduced to this product, so that I can use it on the occasions when I want to have my hair fully up or pulled back, and still feel completely confident. Thanks again to Marsha at Edgefull for introducing me to this product, and sponsoring this video.

You’re so funny 😂😂😂😂 “my edges are a concept and not a tangible thing” 💀💀💀 girl me too
"I feel like whenever theres a strong gust of wind- *poof*- I lost a little bit more." 😭
Girl.....that lipstick just snatched my edges! 😗
Hahahaha
That’s funny! The lippie is pretty though.......
nappyheadedjojoba just been looking at that lipstick wow!
Yeah, what's the name & where can I pick it up
Forget that, found it in the drop down 😏
I'm not sure why some people insist on expressing "concern" (which is really just thinly veiled shade) about something as trivial as someone else's edges. Hairlines vary just like body types, eye color, curl patterns... etc. There is no "normal" way for edges to look. People on the internet can be so petty in the worst way. That being said, this does seem like a cool option for anyone who is self conscious about their edges!
Agree! It's never concern, it's an insult. The internet provides people with just enough anonymity to be far more petty and rude than they would ever be otherwise!
If your hairline is broken off because your treatment of them was rough, there is actually a normal way for your hairline to look. 🤷🏾♀️
Having said that, I don't care about other's "edges", I'm just pointing out that there is 'normal'.
I agree.
@@edniesainteloi209 Yeah, like I said - normal. ?
I honestly never noticed any problems with your edges. I always loved your hair and still do 💪🖤
JaVonna Williams sameeee I was just about to say I’ve watched a million of her videos and never even noticed lol I am a strong believer in ‘ laid edges are a fad and don’t matteeerrrrrr’ lol I want the rest of my hair to look right that’s enough of a struggle for me I ain’t got time to be gellin tooth brushing and tyin down no dang edges haha
Li-Ara Jackson 100 % ❤
I appreciate the vulnerability you took on to support a black owned business. People can be so nasty.
Ok so this product is really neat! And I agree that you could use it mainly when you put your hair up. Furthermore, I've never understood how some people "go natural" but still want slick, full, and perfect edges? Especially us 4C gals. Mind boggling really.
Mink305. Exactly. Natural but smooth edges... Uhmmm okay.
I know right lol. Some naturals are.still on a journey
I feel the same! Like...just let your hair do wtf it's gonna do. I'm not saying we don't want a polished look sometimes but errrrrday edges on slick??? Even with braid/twist outs and wash n go's??? Too much!!
Te'Koah Coriel ikr, especially in a wash and go. Like, why can't you let your edges wash and go too sis? Lol.
Chalsey Wilder 🤣🤣
You are so effortlessly hilarious. You should write or get someone to write a one-woman show. It would be tremendous. lol
I find the obsession American’s (black) have with edges fascinating. I personally love the “untamed” look non-slicked edges have. Even when they have that soft fuzz that can happen when it’s up.
Brit JJ I have never used edge control and don't plan to. I don't get the obsession with edges.
It's so strange. I don't know where the obsession with controlling edges came from, but it's here. I still rock my fuzzy edges, just like I did when I was a little girl, and my mama was doing my hair, haha. The fuzz looks normal on me, whereas the "groomed with gel and a toothbrush" look does not compute.
Yeah, my son was teased in middle school for not having "a hairline" smh, we don't get him lined up every week but who cares? My son doesn't but apparently some 12yrolds do!
To each it's own!! Some women like a sleek look, some like natural edges. It's okay!! We all natural!
nappyheadedjojoba I think they are obsessed with hair texture, your individual hairline displays "our" natural texture. These over pasted down baby has gotten ridiculous. Just because people hate to see a kinky piece of hair along the hairline.
I have thin edges as well. I just embrace them. No need for slicking and slaying. ☺
I'm with you. Even if I choose to fill them in with the fibers, there will be no slickage!
Face is BEAT!
Im a white girl but im just here to look at your lashes lol
People get on my nerves with their rude, judgmental comments🙄 This product is really neat tho!!! Love the red lippie!!!
You are blessed with super long hair on the rest of your head. The haters that are talking trash about your edges are just plain jealous.
You're gorgeous! Edges smedges, LOOL. My hair line isn't thick either and never has been. After having children I developed a circular, quarter size patch of Alopecia just above my temples. They Just started to filled in and my youngest is 12 yrs. It bothered be a bit, but now that I'm watching you, I'm very ok with it. You are only a handful of true 4c women on UA-cam with long healthy hair. We need you. Keep on smiling
Thanks, love!
MadeMarvelously Me too, after my first son was born I lost my hair in the temple area. It grew back after 3-4 yrs. I had my last 2 sons 22 months apart, the hair never grew back.
I reassure you, they can grow back. My youngest is 12 and they just filled in.
nappyheadedjojoba, what is that big round thing..where do you get u? I need it
MadeMarvelously That gives me hope, my youngest is 6yrs. I’ll keep working it thank you.
It looks good! It’s crazy how ppl on social media always hone in on things we are never concerned with in the first place
Girl no. Your edges are what they are. The product seems fine but, I like that you say....never worried about it....just be you.
This looked amazing! Im extremely intrigued by this product. I don't think I've ever seen anything that actually looks this good. I know some people that would really love this as a gift. And I love that you did this sponsored video, because I know regardless you'll always be truthful to the viewers. I really enjoy your channel! Thanks for another good one 😊
Thanks, babe! I will never compromise my integrity, sponsored content or not -- my relationship with you guys is too important to me!
Those fibers blend in perfectly! And tbh the product isnt even that expensive compared to other natural hair products, and especially from small business!
Lol, "Garbage People" why are people so ignorant, if they saw you on the street they wouldn't have balls to say things like that to your face.! Thanks for video!
You're one of the realest youtubers out there, just saying. Love it. Shout out from Cape Town, South Africa xx
My biggest insecurity is my edges. I’m the same. It’s solely genetics so I’m stuck with what I got but people think it’s not ‘normal’ which upsets me
I love your channel and hair because it's beautiful and well taken care of. Also your accent and because you speak English eloquently. The insensitive comments about your edges are probably from people with short damaged. Don't listen to them. We don't have the same porosity nor hair length but I love your channel because you've mastered how to take care of your hair hence the length. It pisses me off that people make stupid comments that exclude instead of include all of us who are natural. You DON'T NEED ANYTHING EXTRA. Your beautiful the way you are.
You look beautiful. I didn't even notice your edges until you pointed them out. I think you look just fine without the product.
Omg this lip color is popping on you! I love it and your glorious shrunken crown. I have fine edges as well. I think u did really good it blended very well. I’m sorry that peoples rude comments have you self conscious about your edges now when you’re on camera. Not cool. Great video as always!
People are so bold on these innanets! They would never go up to a stranger and talk about their edges. Your natural edges don’t even look bad.
I honestly never even noticed your edges until this video. Don’t pay attention to these miserable people who have nothing better to do than spread negativity, bomb video !
honestly, I didn't think your edges look that bad! but then again, I'm with you I don't care about edges, I've seen women at the braiding salon with absolutely NO EDGES, I mean NO HAIR where their edges are suppose to be, so your good! I love that this product is black owned, reasonable priced, and plant based. Thank you for trying it out.
Same exact for me not much noticeable until in pictures. Sick of people offering remedy’s. Hey I never had thick edges
you know what. i never had thick edges either and perhaps im trying to make something happen that isnt natural for me.
Angela Conley exactly don’t even ask for advice and they are ready to give some smh. No thanks
It looks great!!! Sidenote that red lip is everything
Thanks for being you & showing us who live in the “little to no edge life”, an alternative.
There is NOTHING wrong with your hair! Please don’t let YT comments (of ALL things) get to you. Some of these commenters trying to hate from outside the club ONLY have “edges” and have never had hair that’s touched their shoulders. If I had your full, healthy head of hair, lack of “edges” and all, nobody could tell me $hit!
Janice Del Rey 😂
My high puff is my go-to hair style after an old twist out. This product will come in handy! I didn't notice my thin edges until after I became natural. Castor oil doesn't seem to help. When I put my hair up, I keep the hair at the temples out from the rest, and just pin it up using bobby pins to ease the tension. Btw...red lip is gorgeous💕💕💕
I really enjoyed your detailed review of the fibers.. Your edges looks so natural after applying the fibers. Thanks for sharing.
gGirl ignore the haters, haters gonna hate when they see a person looking good. Feel great about you and just try your best to live your best life. You are beautiful and am I the only one who thinks your voice is soo cathartic.....like a journalist type voice if hat make sense. Anyway, thank you for the humour and just keep being you x
I fell OUT when she said her edges have been more of a concept than a tangible thing her whole life! I love her wit, omg 😂😍
I never even noticed this was a problem for you until this video! I think you look gorgeous, genuinely, and you have a wonderful charm to your personality
I know. Because I swear I didn't notice my edge problem until I went natural. I have a (w) in the front and back of my head. Dam genetics.
Angelique Borden girl same...notice about my edges after being natural...and trying to grow them back without any good results...🤔🤔🤔may be i was born this way..with thin edges 😥
I think your edges are perfectly fine, people are just obsessed with with slicked waves and such.
Edges edges edges...pain in the ass at times. Your precious with or without edges. ---✌🏿️💕lsj
Thank gawd I’m not the only one who had no idea about “edges until UA-cam. I’m a pasty white girl but I’m happy to know I haven’t been completely clueless my whole life. I have very fine hair so I have edges issues too. Looking to learn. Not sure why anyone would criticize anyone about this. I guess if you have time to look for other people’s edges, you have no worries in your life.
I never noticed your edges were thin. Love that the product works really well.
That came out really nice, it looks really good! Not that you needed it, but it's always nice to have options. Block the haters girl.
I know that's right! That's why BLOCK was invented!
Thanks for being so transparent! I’ve had struggle edges my entire life and they’re certainly hereditary so this hair fiber kit would be perfect for me!
Girl welcome to people. They are a complicated sometimes annoying, insensitive, rude, cruel, evil (I could go on) species. You are gorgeous and it is refreshing to see you embrace your flawless flaws. Love you xx
You are : an amazing, dynamic, intelligent, generous person and edges don’t define you. If people have a problem with that then they need to be more involved in their lives.
Alright, who said that we need to have full, thick edges anyway? The reason why we call them edges or baby hairs is because they’re comprised of velus hairs which are naturally very thin and fine. I hate that people leave stupid comments like that and I also hate that we’ve come to believe that we need edges as thick as the rest of our heads. That doesn’t make any sense. Mini rant over. I’m just glad we got another video from you and we were blessed with this look.
You're so right. Hairlines differ just as much as body types, but social media seems to have popularized a singular aesthetic. I'm glad I was spared growing up with this "edges obsessed" culture, because it could've really given me a major insecurity at an impressionable age.
YOOOOOOO!!! WOW, I am so amazed, yes that looks so freaking real like our natural hair. I have edges but if I ever lose them I will be getting this product!! I hope it's a black person who invented this product!! Bravo!!
I really admire and enjoy your carefree, no nonsense way that you carry yourself and convey your message. I always look forward to your videos! Keep being and doing YOU!😙
Shocked how good it looked!!!
Me too! Once I saw the "before" and "after" when I was editing, I realized that it actually made a HUGE difference.
I'm sorry that people are so horrible. 🙄 You are GOLD, and I love you sis! 🥰 Thanks for being here. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.
This "issue" got you a cool sponsorship. 😉 I didn't know edges could look so thin genetically from a young age. I knew ones hairline could go in farther than others. It's a little annoying when people tell you there's a problem with the way you are, though. I have half brows from scarring and I'm so tired of people telling me I scraped my brows off. Sigh.
Excellent video. I don't have edge issues except laying them edges is not something that my edges will ever do. they are all grey now and quite wirey so I just leave em natural and rugged which I love. I watched this video all the way through just cause I adore your REALNESS!! and also sometimes as we UA-cam watchers consume UA-cam players we get the impression that your hair is perfect and you have no issues. Seeing someone like you deal with hair challenges in a REAL way is very encouraging. Afro textures hair is lovely but the STRUGGLE IS REAL SO THANK YOU!!
Darlene Means 👏🏽 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😁
Thank you so much! I'll admit I was nervous to share my vulnerability with you guys, but it's comments like this that make me love my UA-cam family even more. It reminds me that we're all in this together, and we *all* have vulnerabilities! xx
Nice product. But I honestly never noticed your edges. I've been too busy lusting after your healthy hair and your makeup. You've never looked bad on camera - or whatever the nutsos are claiming.
I had my edges pulled out when I was about 8 or 9 back in my homeland Ghana by a braider and I didn’t know it will not grow back if I didn’t do anything about it at that age. I lived with my auntie at the time so she could care less about my hair. I’m 34 now and I’ve been trying to grow it back naturally for a decade. I saw your friend Michelle talk about tamanu oil on her channel a while back. I think I’ll try that along with microbladding to see what happens. Wish me luck.
Elsie W Good luck!
Elsie W microblading or microneedling?....whichever, try rubbing peppermint/rosemary essential oil in a base(shea butter,cocuntoil, etc)you like after the microneedling....good luck.
lisangel Black Dermaroller sorry about that and thanks so much for the tip
Elsie W brush your hair with bristle brush a soft one. I shaved my hair a few months ago and every day I brush my hair for few minutes and then I apply a moisturiser. I bought bristle brush without a handle for use 15 pounds from Kents bristle brush from UK. My hair line was also pulled by hard braiding but now it's slowly growing back where the hair stopped growing. And sleep with a durag or a silk scarf.
i sleep with a satin scarf, durag, and the slap. I massage my hair line at least 5 times a week. I don't brush my hair around my edges because i don't have much there. Maybe i should. i also moisturize it with water when it feels dry. That hasn't seemed to work which is why i want to try derma roll my hairline. I haven't tried it yet because i need something to sanitize the derma roller. The only alcohol i'm finding in store is 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Oh yeah, love that lipstick!
Sorry you have to deal with the trolls... they are everywhere on all social media platforms 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
The first side you applied actually looked great..... I have “struggle” edges also but yours aren’t bad..... I wish I had that thick full head of hair of yours..... It’s beautiful and so are you.... God bless.
shoutout to Edgeful for coming through with supporting black influencers who can think for themselves
Haters will alway try to tear you down! I have watched several of your videos and never even noticed until watching this. You speak with such confidence and authority! Edges that's all they got!😂 Keep doing what you do its very informative. Then you got a sponsorship for this video 👏👏👏
Red lips and lashes just always look stunning 😍. One day I'll be brave enough for red.
Yup, I have a edge problem and have tried the usual castor oil, emu oil, etc. nothing seems to be working. I have tried something like this in the past and it looked fine. The comb guide looks very handy. I haven't used it for a while, but will start using it again, now the sun is starting to shine! Thanks for the video.
That red lip is everything
This looks great. I would totally use this product. I too have edge struggles.
I see you've just completed another fashion shoot, again, prior to coming onto camera. That lipstick is fabulous. The hair is full, thick and healthy.
Haha, you're so crazy! And, thank you! I've really been loving on my 'fro since the cut, and the vacation from being pulled back that I've been giving my hairline has definitely felt nice (especially when I sleep)!
Excellent! Yes, Edges are to Black women with afro-textured hair what the ring is to Gollum: My Precious!
I guess we should all be the same and look the same.Not that you need my approval, everything looks fine to me.Keep on being yourself. Love your videos.
I was inspired by you to be gentler on my edges. Now I separate out my edges....bun the rest...the use a bobby pin to loosely secure the edges into the main hair. Much less tension. Thank u xx
Oh I also use mascara amd/or use eyebrow dye to darken my edges....all the tricks ;)
Use essential oil twice weekly. I bought a mixed kit from Amazon, I think it had a mixture of 12 or more different types. I mixed them all together and I didn't dilute the mixture with water the first week. You just need to add some to your edges twice weekly. Don't overdo it though. As much as it stimulates growth, it can break your hair off. I had problems with my edges for years until I used it. Once you see hairs begin to grow, just use it monthly and dilute with water moving forward.
I feel your pain. I don’t have edges either, well they’re sparse. I can’t remember when I did.
The product works very well. You look fine with or without it. It does enhance your look very nicely. Don't pay attention to the nonsense of others trying to make you feel bad. You're beautiful. Be proud.
What is the big damn deal about these edges??😲 I swear people are ridiculous. The people who are being so rude and concerned with your edges are probably the most unhealthy people. They probably care more about hair than the health of their bodies. Probably smoking, drinking, and eating McDonald's everyday and have the audacity to be nasty to others. You are absolutely gorgeous and seem very kind. Keep up the good work. We love you and your content😍
We`re our own worse critic, so it seems as though my hairline is racing to the back of my head. It`s thinner than the rest of my hair, but I`ve made peace with it, so it`s definitely not serious enough for me to consider hair transplant; however; these fibres are a great non-surgical option. Thanks for sharing!
Some people just don't have thick edges and that's fine like you said,"Life will go on." Keep being unbothered girl.
Listening to you is such a breeze. Very refreshing 😄
I am a sister in the thin-edges family! The product looks very natural on you; I think your application was great (LOL re: the Jermaine Jackson reference). In 1994, my edges were almost all smooth skin; I grew them back with some potion I bought from my local beauty supply store (similar to Nioxin). Now, there not as sparse as ‘94, but still thin. I’ve made my own concoction to treat my edges, and other low-density areas. Thanks for your informative (and funny) posts.
Girl, edges ain't everything. You're still fabulous!
I love your realness! I followed you because you are the only UA-camr I’ve seen with edges like mine with long natural hair. I love how unapologetic you are about it cause I’ve always been self conscious about mines. Thank you for being you!
I'm self conscious about mine too, but I've also realized that life must go on. There are far more important things to worry about, especially since I can't really change them. xx
I love your videos. You have a new subbie.
I was born with thin edges too. I'm on day 6 of taking down 24-inch long 14 year old dreadlocks without cutting so I'm noticing my edges even more.
You tube obviously played a big role in my awareness of the hairline difference so I'm quite encouraged by how beautifully you rock your hair.
As I begin my journey to growing loose hair just as long as my dreadlocks I'm looking forward to more ideas from You. Thanks for the insight.
Great video. I like that you show your first "figure out live" use
Is it weird that I feel like when you do your videos that we are just chatting as friends? Too soon?
Oohh look at the beautiful fro! Happy the product worked for you! I relate to having fragile edges-two particular spots revolt at any sign of tension or stress or digestive or dermatological flare. Because of that, I use aloe weekly and do not incorporate them into my locs-they just free and chillin. I'd love to be a board member of your nonprofit #savetheedges 😋
Haha, you are hereby appointed Secretary of the Edgery. If I ever do loc, I'd definitely have to do something similar. My mom's first set of locs did a real number on her already fragile hairline!
You have the most articulated and descriptive way of describing your edges, or lack there of.
We are birthmark twins!!! I’ve only met one other person with it and he made it on both sides. In general I have always had struggle edges I looked at my pics from a child and my edges have always been this way. For whatever reason I’ve never cared.
People being rude to you! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 JojobaGang come thru!!
And yooooo them fibers blended so bomb! It looks really natural. I love it!
Haha, don't worry about me -- I've heard it all, at this point. And thank you! I really do think the fibers look pretty good/believable!
Wow that looks really nice! I'm impressed with how easy and well it blends. Btw I think your birthmark is cute♥️
Some people are trash. Keep doing you boo!
Your lipstick is beautiful! My edges are tragic due to getting relaxers when I was younger, then developed alopecia..but working them out with moisturizing on a regular and trying not to tug at them. Looks like that product worked with the correct application. Looks natural.
Same girl, same. I just moved to a new city and needed to find a new hairstylist and, of course, I have to explain my edges to any new hairstylist and they want to give me all kinds of advice. I am back to doing my own hair. People don’t understand that sometimes edges are thin because they have ALWAYS been thin. Get off my back.
I honestly never notice your edges until you mention them. It's just not that deep to me because I'm focused on you as a person and the info you're sharing. This is a dope product though. Shout out to Marsha! Keep going Queens!
This popped up for me recently as reccomended. I thought it looked really good actually. I mean if that's what you wanted to do, I don't think it's necessary obviously I think you're beautiful the way you are! 😘😘
You looked great before and after. The rude people have nothing else to do. Love your look as always. GOD Bless!
Jermaine Jackson 🤣🤣 You crack me the hell up!! I like the fibers for when you're going for a certain look. I have also always been in the sparse and fine edges club my entire life.
This is such an interesting product. So glad you reviewed this
Please don't allow the opinions of others to cause you to feel self conscious about ANYTHING! No one's opinion has the power to change anything concerning your life but God so don't let what others have to say write upon you 💜! I personally think that the product application gave a pretty decent realistic look but honestly I thought that your edges also looked great just as they were. Stay strong sis and walk boldly just as God made you💪😊
That was awesome, it looks very real. I really enjoy your videos. And yes, the social media hate is ridiculous.
Wow!! Great Product!! Amazing results showing before & after pictures!! it looks VERY NATURAL!, Had I not seen before & after I would'nt have known a product was used at all👍👍
You know... This is why we can't have nice things! People take a beautiful, educated, and eloquent lady who is giving necessary information and drag for insignificant shit like edges instead of thanking and praising her efforts. Ugh!
I've (and I'm certain this applies to other viewers) never paid a bit of attention to your edge situation. Your content is captivating! Thanks for bringing this product to your subscribers. Anything that empowers us to feel confident and beautiful is fantastic. Keep doing what you're doing!❤️
Thank you!!!
You look simply perfect with your natural hairline, but I definitely understand the way people have spoken to you about it. I have experienced the same thing and just like you, my grandmother and my mother never had good hairlines, neither does my aunty or her mother, so it's genetic. Also, my mum had a very smooth bald spot just like yours in her hairline, but hers is bigger. I too was never self conscious about my edges, I didn't even know I had a problem until I noticed people always staring at my hairline whilst talking to me and also my friends and cousins kept telling me products to try to grow my hairline. Obviously nothing has ever worked. Mine though is a combination of genetics and traction alopecia from keeping braids in way too long. I've tried this product before and ended up giving up. I moved on to black eye shadow then another type of black eyeshadow which I think worked best, but I feel even more self conscious with it on. I just wish people could stop staring at me.
The product was good,it made a difference. But SERIOUSLY I'm in love with everything you do as a new subbie.
You are beautiful, positive, and confident. Who cares about what others say? Keep up the good work.
I think you did a great job with using the product, especially since using it for the 1st time!
