Creating defined baby hairs with gel involves a few key steps, primarily focusing on shaping and styling the fine hairs along your hairline. Here's how to do it, using the "Got to be gel" method described in the provided video reference:
Steps for Styling Baby Hair with Gel
1. Applying the Gel
- Use a strong-hold gel like "Got to be gel"
- Apply a small amount of gel to your fingertips
- Distribute the gel along your hairline where you want to style your baby hairs.
2. Shaping the Baby Hair
- Creating "C" Motions: Use your fingers to create small "c" shaped motions along the hairline. This technique helps in forming the initial curved shape of the baby hairs.
- Using an Edge Brush or Comb: Once you have applied the gel and started creating the "c" shape, use an edge brush or fine-tooth comb to further refine the baby hairs. This brush or comb helps in:
- Smoothing the gel evenly.
- Separating individual strands of hair to create definition.
- Further refining the "c" shape and direction of the baby hairs.
Practical Tips for Best Results
- Start with a Small Amount of Gel: It's easier to add more gel than to remove excess. Too much gel can make baby hairs look stiff.
- Use a Light Hand: When applying and shaping the baby hairs, use a gentle hand to avoid breakage.
- Experiment with Different Styles: Once you've mastered the basic "c" shapes, experiment with swoops and swirls.
- Clean Your Brush: Regularly clean your edge brush or comb to avoid gel build-up.
- Practice: Like any skill, creating great baby hair styles takes practice, so don't get discouraged if your first attempts aren't perfect.
By following these steps and tips, you can effectively use gel to style your baby hairs.
