Double Edge Brushes

An edge brush (a.k.a edge control brush) is a small boar bristle brush with a long handle that’s used to smooth damp baby hairs along your hairline for a sleek look.

HOW TO USE AN EDGE BRUSH TO STYLE YOUR BABY HAIRS

Now that you’re more educated on the topic of a brush for edges, it’s time to create some magic. Follow our step-by-step routine below to learn how to style your baby hairs with an edge brush.

STEP #1: START WORKING ON DAMP HAIR TO GET MORE CONTROL

Your first thought may be to style dry baby hairs, but it’s important to work on damp hair. It’s easier to shape your wispy hairs while damp to achieve your desired style. Wet your edge brush with lukewarm water, tap off the excess water onto a towel, and brush your baby hairs downward. This will separate your baby hairs from the rest of your mane.

STEP #2: APPLY YOUR EDGE CONTROL PRODUCT TO YOUR BRUSH

When it comes to styling your edges, you’ll want to use the right edge control product. There are various options, from hair gels to pomades that come in soft, medium, and heavy holds to suit your needs. It’s also important to use a moisturizing product so you can keep your strands in shape. Once you have your product picked out, apply a small dime-sized amount to your brush for edges.

STEP #3: STYLE YOUR BABY HAIRS

Now it’s time to style your baby hairs. Depending on the shape or pattern you want, you’ll need to carefully comb and shape your edges to pull it off. Here are three options.

Baby Hairs Style #1: Wavy pattern. For those that dare to go bold with their baby hairs, the wavy pattern will suit your fancy. Start by creating a middle part at the center of your hairline and comb your baby hairs downward. On either side of your part, slowly smooth your edge brush along your hairline to shape your baby hairs in a wavy line. This should start from the middle part and end at your ear. Repeat on the other side.

Baby Hairs Style #2: Slicked-back. When you’re not in the mood to rock an eye-catching shape, slicked-back baby hairs will come in handy. You should also note that they’re easy to style. All you have to do is brush your baby hairs back toward your strands to get the look. Easy, peasy.

Baby Hairs Style #3: Small curves. Use the comb side of your edge brush to smooth your strands downward toward your forehead. Starting at the middle of your head, brush an inch-wide section of your baby hairs into a curved shape. Your baby hairs should curl toward your hairline. Repeat the process until all of your baby hairs are in place.

STEP #4: SET YOUR BABY HAIRS

Once your baby hairs are styled to perfection, you’ll want to set them in place so they can last. Wrap your hair in a silk scarf, making sure to cover your entire mane. Let the scarf sit for five to 10 minutes or leave it in place overnight—it’s all up to you.
