6 Best Products for Styling Baby Hairs

Written by Emilie Branch

Baby hairs can be pesky. It’s hard to get these thin, wispy strands that grow on the hairline to lay flat. But when they are styled, it completely changes up a look and elevates even the messiest bun or the most humdrum pony. Getting baby hairs right takes time, dedication, watching about 30 TikToks, and of course, the right hair products. Here are the products we rely on to keep our baby hairs in check from shape to style and set.

The designated edge brush has been elevated and gone are the days when a cheapo toothbrush was the sole option. Consider this three-in-one edge styler made with natural boar bristles your go-to for whipping those unruly baby hairs into formation. Bonus: it doubles as a flyaway tamer.
