Key Steps for Styling Baby Hair
The general process involves the following:

Choosing a Styling Product:

-
Applying the Product:
- Apply a small amount of gel to the tips of your fingers or a small brush.
- Carefully apply the product to your baby hairs along the hairline, making sure to coat them well.
-
Shaping the Baby Hairs:
- Use a small brush (like a toothbrush or an edge control brush) to direct your baby hairs into the desired style. You can create different shapes, such as swirls, curves, or simple, sleek lines.
- Gently brush and smooth the hairs in the direction you want them to lay.
-
Setting the Baby Hairs:
- Once shaped, gently press them into place using your fingers or the back of the brush.
- Some people also like to tie a silk scarf or wrap around the hairline for a few minutes to help set the style.
