Style your baby hair and create art along your hairline. Choose the right product and the right style for your hair type. Read more and get tips to keep your baby hair in style.

We all have that annoying tiny strand of hair on our forehead that does not seem to cooperate when we style our hair. That annoying wispy and thin hair is our baby hair. Baby hairs are the strands of hair, not more than 1 inch long that grows around the hairline, commonly seen on our forehead and nape. They have a shorter hair growth cycle preventing them from growing the same length as the rest of our hair. But do not fret! This is not a bad thing. We all have baby hairs. The bad thing is not keeping them healthy causing the edges to get damages and to start to thin down. Pressure from constant hair tugging during styling can cause the edges to thin so loosen up those high-ponytails. Too much styling and hair product can also lead to damaged edges so always remember to give your hair some time to rest.

STYLE YOUR BABY HAIRS ACCORDING TO HAIR TYPES

There are 4 different hair types: Type 1 is for straight hair, type 2 is wavy hair, type 3 is curly hair and type 4 is for coily hair. It is important to identify your hair type to find the most suitable hair care products for your hair. Even choosing and using the right baby hair products matter when styling your edges.

For type 1 and type 2 hairs, it is best to style your hair when dry. This is because type 1 and type2 hairs are easier to manage. Both of these hair types tend to be oily. So choose a product that will not introduce more oil to your hair.

For type 3 and type 4 hairs, it is recommended to style while they are still wet. Curly and coily hairs tend to be a little stubborn when they are fully dried. Apply hair products when they are still wet to avoid getting frizzy hair. Type 3 and type 4 are generally fragile, so it is advisable to keep away from products that contain sulphate and silicone. These 2 chemicals make the hair dry that leads to breakage.
