Baby hairs are the fine, soft hairs that grow along the hairline. Styling baby hair has become a popular part of many hairstyles, adding a polished or artistic touch to edges. Whether you’re going for sleek and subtle or swooped and styled, laying baby hair properly can elevate your look. All it takes is the right tools, some patience, and a steady hand. Here is how to do baby hair step by step.
- Gather Your Tools
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- A clean toothbrush or edge brush
- Edge control gel or styling gel
- A fine-tooth comb (optional)
- A silk or satin scarf to set the hair
Choose a product that provides a firm but flexible hold. Avoid anything too greasy or heavy, as it may cause buildup or flake.
- Start with Clean, Damp Hair
Gently brush back any loose strands and ensure the baby hair is separated from the rest of your hair. Slightly dampening the hairline helps with smooth application and easier styling. You can use a spray bottle filled with water to lightly mist the area.
- Apply Edge Control
Using your fingertip or brush, apply a small amount of edge control gel directly onto the baby hairs. Less is more—you can always add more if needed. The product should have a smooth consistency and allow the hair to be shaped without drying too fast.
- Shape the Baby Hairs
With your edge brush or toothbrush, gently comb the baby hair into your desired shape. You can swoop, swirl, or curve the edges depending on your preference. Use the brush in short, curved motions for a sleek finish. For extra definition, use the tip of a rat-tail comb to sharpen or clean up the design.
- Set with a Scarf
Once your baby hairs are styled, tie a silk or satin scarf around your edges for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps the gel set and keeps the style in place. The material should be soft and smooth to prevent frizz or denting the style.
- Remove the Scarf and Finish
After the hair has set, remove the scarf gently. Your baby hairs should now be laid neatly and securely. Avoid touching or brushing them again, as this could disturb the style.
