The tools you use to do so can vary, but Fesa says she prefers using her hands and baby hair brush with a metal rat-tail end.
Once you've gotten your edge control on hand, there's the matter of actually shaping your edges. Fesa also mentions the Style Factor Edge Booster as a product she generally likes to work with when she's doing baby hairs. If you've got very tight, coiled, or kinky hair, the Instant Control Edge & Braid Gel Max Hold is a good product to start with, the same goes for Murray's Edgewax. Petroleum-based products or a beeswax with a hold are best in this case," he says. New York City-based hairstylist David Lopez also cautions those styling heat-pressed edges that "water-based gels can sometimes cause your texture to revert, making it curly again. "A no-no when styling your own baby hairs is, do not use an oil-based edge control if you want them to last the hairstyle." The reason? Oily edge control products have a soft hold you can easily sweat through by the end of the day. "Edge styling can add a more elegant or dramatic twist to any style depending on how much baby hair you leave out," she says, emphasizing her love for dramatic swoops and loops on any hair look - whether it be a high pony or braided straight backs.īut before you start to twirl your own edges in place, Fesa has a few tips. Just ask Los Angeles-based hairstylist Fesa Nu.
With so many creative ways to lay them down, finessing your edges (and the products it takes to do so) have come a long way. Whether they're swooped to the side or sculpted into curlicues, baby hairs are a cute detail that can be the cherry on top of a style.
