Those delicate baby hairs—the fine strands framing your face along the forehead and temples—can be notoriously stubborn and unruly. Thin and short like a newborn's down (hence the name), they frizz, curl, and refuse to stay put, often giving your hairstyle a messy vibe.
Good news: baby hairs can be beautifully disciplined. Embrace them by creating waves or intricate patterns against the skin, tailored to your hair type and texture. Grab a soft toothbrush and water-based gel (or glycerin for curly or coily hair). Apply a tiny dab, brush into shape while malleable, and set with hairspray for a sleek, wet-look finish.
For a simpler approach, textured hair expert Niwel recommends "brushing them back to blend seamlessly with the rest of your hair," then securing with "a silk scarf tied around the head for a few minutes to set the style." The result? A polished, undetectable look.
