Shape your baby hairs and make creative designs along your hairline. Pick the best product and style that fits your hair type. Learn more and find tips to keep your baby hairs looking great.

We all have those tiny, stubborn hairs on our forehead that never seem to stay in place when we style our hair. These fine, wispy strands are called baby hairs. Baby hairs are short, usually less than 1 inch long, and grow along the hairline, often on the forehead and neck. They have a shorter growth cycle, so they do not get as long as the rest of your hair. But don’t worry—having baby hairs is completely normal. The problem starts when they become unhealthy, causing the edges to thin or break. Tight hairstyles that pull on your hair can make this worse, so try to avoid very tight ponytails. Using too many styling products can also damage these delicate hairs. Give your hair regular breaks from styling to keep your edges healthy.

STYLE YOUR BABY HAIRS ACCORDING TO HAIR TYPES

There are 4 different hair types. Type 1 is straight hair. Type 2 is wavy hair. Type 3 is curly hair. Type 4 is coily hair. Knowing your hair type helps you pick the best hair care products. Using the right baby hair products also makes styling your edges easier.

If you have type 1 or type 2 hair, style it when it is dry. These hair types are usually easier to handle dry. They also tend to be oily, so pick a product that does not add extra oil.

For type 3 and type 4 hair, it’s best to style while the hair is still wet. Curly and coily hair can be hard to manage once dry. Put on hair products when the hair is wet to help prevent frizz. These hair types are usually delicate, so avoid products with sulphate and silicone. These two chemicals can dry out hair and cause it to break.

Type 1 and type 2 hair are easier to manage, so you don’t need many baby hair styling products. A water-based baby hair gel or a styling pomade works well. Stay away from products that make your hair more oily.
