Camryn's BFF Gentle Edges Brush

Product Information

Your first thought may be to style dry baby hairs, but it’s important to work on damp hair. It’s easier to shape your wispy hairs while damp to achieve your desired style. Wet your edge brush with lukewarm water, tap off the excess water onto a towel, and brush your baby hairs downward. This will separate your baby hairs from the rest of your mane. STEP #2: APPLY YOUR EDGE CONTROL PRODUCT TO YOUR BRUSH Pad edgers and roller edgers apply paint faster and cleaner than cutting in with a standard paint brush. I had high hopes for this Shur-Line 7-inch paint pad, which features a plastic frame with a replaceable low-nap pad and a place for an extender. To be fair, it is described as an applicator, not a paint edger. But when I saw its large surface with clean, square edges, I thought it might be good for ceiling work. Unfortunately, it was not. When loaded with paint, the broad spongy surface was difficult to control. The rigid molded handle is angled so that it obscures the user’s view of the leading edge, so I could not see how close I was to the edges. This tool applied a nice coat of paint over large areas, but using it effectively means the edges should be taped or trimmed with a different tool. Our Verdict Paint edgers with pads use the smear method to apply paint. They are made of an absorbent material that works like a sponge to soak up paint from the tray; these edgers have a textured surface that lays down a clean finish. Pads are capable of applying a smooth, even, full coat in a single pass. A paint edger is a tool that applies paint with a straight, clean line at the outer edges, inner corners, or along trim work. With an edger, you may not need to tape along trim molding or ceilings, nor do you have to cut in with a paint brush. Q. Is a paint edger necessary for painting work?

I estimate that this tool reduced edging time by at least half compared to brushing. However, it cannot edge fully into corners because of the roller’s shape. Some final touch-up brushwork was always necessary.To help DIYers achieve flawless results, I decided to field-test some of the most popular products designed for the task of paint edging. I researched and employed dozens of paint-edging tools to find excellent options for common household projects. Read on to learn about shopping considerations, how each tool performed in my tests, and why I consider those listed below to be the best paint edgers around. Now that you’re more educated on the topic of a brush for edges, it’s time to create some magic. Follow our step-by-step routine below to learn how to style your baby hairs with an edge brush. STEP #1: START WORKING ON DAMP HAIR TO GET MORE CONTROL The sole function of a paint edger is to make straight, clean lines. While many folks balk at the idea of purchasing a tool that only does one thing, its benefits far outweigh its reasonable cost. This type of tool typically pays for itself by eliminating the cost of painter’s tape and any labor costs associated with taping edges before painting and removing tape when the job is done.

Luigi’s The World’s Best Paint Pad Set is a good start-up set for a variety of projects. It includes three paint edgers of different sizes plus a paint tray. The pads measure 9.5 inches long by 2.5 inches wide, 5 inches long by 3.5 inches wide, and 9 inches long by 6 inches wide to accommodate tight and not-so-tight spaces.

By using an edger with a pole extender, the painter can stand on the ground and safely reach the top of a high wall to cut in at the ceiling line—as opposed to climbing a ladder and risking a fall. Painting rooms with high ceilings is often easier with an extender because it provides the painter greater range with less actual motion.
