Tamed baby hairs


Maybe your hairline is super clean and there is an easy transition from forehead to normal hair. Maybe your baby hairs are the cute kind, where you pull your hair into a ponytail and have just a few even wisps. If you belong to the above categories, skip this post.

If you have ever struggled with your hairline, keep on reading!

In my case I have unruly baby hairs that stick out in every direction. They also commit a crime that the rest of my hair doesn’t dare! They… frizz. If it’s rainy or very humid, my baby hairs rebel and frizz, which makes me look (and feel) unpolished and a little frazzled. 

While hairlines are mostly unimportant, a frizzy hairline looks really messy even if you can’t single out what’s wrong. Correct it and it becomes unnoticeable again, like it was meant to be in the first place.

If you’ve ever tried to fight this problem with hair products, you’ve probably also found that it’s not easy to control. Hairspray on a toothbrush makes baby hairs stiff, while serum turns them greasy and slick. But there’s a fairly simple solution. Take the same product we used to tame unruly brows, the cheap clear mascara, and run the brush lightly through your baby hairs until they are coated and arranged in a nice way. Clear mascara dries quickly, stays put, adds no gloss or crunch, and does the job.
