Yes, you can use gel on your baby hairs. A small amount of hair gel, mousse, or even water combined with a small, round barrel brush can effectively style baby hairs. This allows you to create small ringlets around your face or neatly lay them down to form a subtle crown around your hairline.
Methods for Styling Baby Hairs with Gel
Several methods utilize gel for styling baby hairs:
-
The Gel Method: Apply a small amount of gel directly to the baby hairs, using a small, round brush to style them into your desired shape. This method works well for creating defined styles or sleek looks. Numerous tutorials are available online demonstrating this technique, such as the video "PART 1: GEL METHOD BABY HAIR TUTORIAL" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqOWbY1iZIY.
-
Gel for Edge Control: Use a strong-hold gel to control unruly baby hairs and prevent frizz, particularly when your hair is tied up. Clear brow gel can also serve this purpose, easily applied with its wand for precise styling. This approach prioritizes neatness and minimizing flyaways.
-
Gel with Wetting: For particularly uncooperative baby hairs, wetting them before applying gel can improve manageability and styling.
-
Salon Services: If you prefer professional assistance, salons can also style your baby hairs using gels and other products.
Considerations for Using Gel on Baby Hairs
While gel is effective for styling, remember to use it sparingly. Overuse can weigh down the hair or create a stiff, unnatural look. Choose a gel appropriate for your hair type and desired hold.
