Learn why you should love your baby hair and discover 12 fun ways to style it.

A few years back, people didn’t pay much attention to the fine hairs along the forehead. Usually, these tiny strands were brushed back with the rest of the hair. That changed when stars like FKA Twigs, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez began styling their baby hairs with creative designs. Baby hairs are soft, thin strands that grow along your hairline. They are about an inch long and often curl in different directions, making them tricky to manage. But with the right products like gel or pomade, you can shape these little hairs into beautiful styles. Styling baby hairs can also help make a wide forehead look smaller. Think of your forehead as a canvas and your baby hairs as the artwork!

Check out these 12 fun and easy styles for your baby hair.

Baby hairs can sometimes be frustrating. But with the right styling and baby hair products, you can achieve beautiful edges. Just like regular hair, baby hairs need care and attention. Styling them is fun, but make sure to give your baby hairs a break. Using too many products can damage and thin your edges. After styling, let your hair rest and keep it clean.
