  1. High bun

You can never go wrong with a high bun. Just tie your hair or braids, up then smooth out your edges using a little bit of gel.

  1. Wear a cap

Not to work though. Nonetheless, this is a good hack for when you can’t imagine taking down your braids or going somewhere with edges and hair strands all unruly.

  1. Get a wig

Wigs are like an emergency tool kit. There are enough wig styles on the web so you can never run out of inspiration.
