American women pay hundreds of dollars to attain the baby hair look in salons.
According to Naturally Curly, the history of the trendy style can be traced back to the 1950s when Josephine Baker and Lena Horne wore finger curls.
“50s beehives were big, straightened 60s bumps were chic, and both styles could be seen with little curlicues of gelled edges and longer hair close to the hairline on the sides.”
The 1980s ushered in the Jheri curl era, and baby hairs showed up on fashion runways in the 1990s.
Naturally Curly recommends the following products to style your baby hairs.
Creme of Nature’s Styling Snot has done wonders in terms of hold, but it’s easy to over do it. For something a little softer, I recommend the Lottabody Control Me Edge Gel. And if you’re struggling to regrow your edges, the Taliah Waajid Hairline Help in addition to an edge-healthy regimen could prevent further loss!”
