Likely varies on hair texture. I know fine, straight hair is more difficult to keep up, helps to put texturizers in first. My hair is 3C, and I tend to get a lot of fly-aways, so I usually use a smoothing cream and light gel on my edges

do your best to not fuck with it, otherwise you just periodically unfuck it over time.

Ideally you should put it up in a relatively simple and repeatable fashion to prevent shenanigans.
