Properly styled, baby hair quickly becomes an eye-catcher in every hairstyle. Stars like Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez or Alicia Keys are leading the way.
Once they were considered ugly and annoying, now they are trendy: baby hair. The fine strands on the forehead, temples and neck can be a real styling challenge. But you don't have to hide them. Because those who stage baby hair properly can look forward to an optically rejuvenating effect. The thin hair gives the hair styling lightness and youthful freshness.
Stars like US rapper Cardi B (27, "Bodak Yellow") or actress and singer Jennifer Lopez (51) also know that. The latter in particular makes no secret of her baby hair. Again and again she posts pictures on Instagram, in which she deliberately focuses on her fluffy hairline. The styling is different.
Baby hair as a replacement for bangs
Lopez likes it extremely. She recently appeared with two top knots separated by a center parting. She didn't hide her baby hair. Instead, she styled them sporty and playful like a kind of pony in the face. Model Kaia Gerber also presents a similar variant. The only difference: While Lopez applies her fine hair to the forehead with styling products, the 18-year-old relies on naturalness. Your baby hair in bangs looks airy and soft.
Lay the baby hair in waves
Style baby hair elegantly? No problem for singer Lopez either. To do this, she first styles her hair in a strict, deep-set braid. Her baby hair runs along the face in guided waves.
Alicia Keys (39) also often styles her hair in this trendy look. Instead of styling the strands in a large strand like Lopez, the "underdog" interpreter relies on many small ones. Additional hair accessories are unnecessary with this striking styling variant.
How do you shape baby hair?
Styling baby hair is easy. All it takes is a little water, hair gel and a toothbrush. Treat the fine strands with hair gel, then briefly wet the toothbrush and use it to shape the hair sections. Flowing movements are crucial here to create the desired lightness.
Anyone who is tired of their baby hair – such as Kim Kardashian (39), who had their removed by laser treatment – can also use the toothbrush in other ways. Simply put a little hairspray on the brush and comb the fine fluff into the remaining hair. So-called finishing sticks have the same effect and are usually available in every well-stocked drugstore.
