The small and sometimes not so small wispy hairs on the perimeter of the hairline that are often very fine and typically found on a small toddler, thus the name “Baby Hair”, have made a comeback.
They can be natural or manufactured but however they come about, the result isn’t accomplished without tedious and masterful skill. It’s all in the “flicka da wrist”, as Chedda Da would say. Although I’m sure mastering the fine art of baby hair wasn’t the inspiration for his 2015 chart-topping hit.
While some hair trends should forever remain in the cloak of childhood like Ducktails or any hairstyle that involved the use of Pink Lotion or Black Pro Style Gel, the fanciful creation of baby hairs seem to have made a resurgence. As we know, most trends are cyclical and now is the time for the latest generation to give their take on it.
TLC’s Chilli, the posterchild for baby hair envy, spearheaded the movement back in the 90’s, with her iconic edges gloriously laid to the heavens! Honestly, I can’t think of anyone who predates Chilli’s look.
Whoever inspired her has inspired the masses, including one FKA Twig, a millennial who’s version of the slickity-slick swirls have produced a wave of widespread baby-hair love.
Even Kim Kardashian has confessed her regret of having her baby hair laser removed. ‘My forehead had all these little baby hairs, and I would always break out because of them,’ the 35-year-old wrote.
‘Every photographer would Photoshop them out anyway, and I thought I looked better without the baby hairs, but now I miss them [sic].’ Perhaps her nostalgia has resurfaced since seeing how lovely they are on her daughter, North.
So while we’re in the midst of this inspirational ocean of waviness, I say, let’s continue this baby-hair world domination, one glob at a time. How focused are you on baby hair revival? Comment below!
“Baby hair”never went out of style #20somethingsomethingsarestupid
Noooo……
Hope not
Not done like that I hope
Some women take it to the extreme there is nothing good about them edges just saying
Being this pic is not of real baby hair, not making a comeback
Only if ppl realize what baby hair really is..cuz whatever this is in this picture definitely isn’t it????

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing
Right! We as a culture does a little too much at times. Ijs
Thank you
Baby hair shouldn’t make a comeback..especially for grown@$$ women ???????????? don’tkillmeit’sjustajokeok????
Eh… came back and left again lol
People are making up baby hairs. That is all.
Those are small bangs
I hope not, don’t like looking at it paste to ur face ????????????

That’s NOT baby hair…. THOSE are BIG finger wave edges
Wish it wouldn’t
Never left

When did they leave?
Nobody want them damn finger waves on our heads hell
If your hair still naturally grow that way it’s ok but to make ocean waves all across your forehead.????
They never LEFT
Not those
I Kno mine are coming back ????????
If you have baby hairs… Just make it look neat, stop trying to overdue it… It looks weird… NOW, if you have ADOLESCENT or ADULT hairs you better stop trying to baby hair them! I’m sick of long and full pieces of hair being made to look like some overgrown baby hairs ????
Edges going to have to make a comeback first ????????♀️
and the award for best comment goes to…

I laughed way too hard at this! ????????????????

Right!
This made me laugh too hard
????????
Not like that
When did they leave?
Right ????
They never left if you got edges.
Come back? Did it go?
Baby hair on a grown woman is not baby hair. That’s brushed edges designed with a comb.
Definitely not baby hair.
baby hairs are not your edges! They don’t even have the same texture as the rest of your hair. There are adults with “baby hair”, but most of us don’t have them.
Only if white people say its so????
If they have any ????????????????
Only babies have bAby hair ????????♀️
They are annoying and most are going over board with the baby hairs the only use for them is to covering the line of demarcation from the lace..
It’s cute on babies and little girls, not adult women
They never left.
I hate it
I hope not
Hell no
Not a Fan The young Folk Can Have it
If you are over 21 they are “Edge curls”, dassit! LOL SMH
Folks are trying to make 100 yr old hair into baby hair using motor oil, crisco and super glue…Let it go so that you will have a few strands as edges…
Phyllis Leaks OMG, I was dead at motor oil lmaooooo….

That not baby hair edges. Those are finger waves.
Yeah, mainly on those fake ass hair weaves & lace fronts

Yes, that and a Modona teeth gap. Age can be knocked back with old tricks.
Only reason baby hair made a come back so females could hide that lace line on them wigs ????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️ now y’all got baby hair on everything.. even your lashes???????????? too much
Exactly!!!!
My family never stopped making baby hair lol. And this pic ain’t it ????????♀️????
hopefully without the lace
It’s the short soft hair around the edge of your hair and it doesn’t need to be oiled or manipulated…it’s just there…
I mean you can manipulate your actual baby hair to stay and not look crazy but this ain’t that
I don’t want any keep those baby hairs a Throwback
First of all that is not babyhair that’s teenage hair
That’s not baby hair that’s called hiding your lace front
Smh
This ain’t no baby hairs lmao
They shouldn’t unless they’re natural fly always you have! Won’t catch me pulling out my actual hair and gelling it to my forehead unless it’s just my NATURAL baby hairs or fly always that already lay down. Its funny howi was teased for being “hairy” when i was little because mine naturally laid down. Now its a trend at ANY COST to get them. Lol!!!!!!!
Are grown women with grease, gel and water making a comeback ????????????????????????????????
That’s definitely NOT baby hair
That is grownup people hair????????????
Yeah but they should be left on the babies. This shit looks ridiculous
Not them dam big on my face
The whole swirl baby hair phenomenon is annoying and it looks stupid????
Many ladies will have to use weave on their edges!
They are called edges, Dang!!!, I hate that they call it baby hair, you are a grown ass woman, you don’t have baby hair on your body……DAYUM!!!!
Baby hairs? These hairs graduated from college already ????
I been rockin baby hair since ’92.
What these dumbasses are doing today is NOT babyhairs

That’s not baby hair.
You can’t push a bunch of hair to the front of your head and call it baby hairs. It’s ridiculous!
Baby hair or edges has never left African American community they’re crazy about bebyhair not in African we don’t care about baby hair..black American make fun of people without edges..stupid porsha and Jordan were making fun of Nene cos of edges who does that only low life with nothing better to do with their lives

Even if they are y’all females need to stop slick and down your baby hairs and edges all the time that’s not good for your hair either you don’t mess around and not have nine with all that jail and jam and sprints and edge control. Let your hair breathe from all the heavy products suffocating your hair from growing

WE MUST START WITH THE GROWING BACK THE EDGES. MOST OF THESE CHICK’S HAIRLINE LOOK LIKE A 5 MONTH OLD BABY.

After the age of being a baby, its no longer called baby hair, its called adult naps.
Anyone past 5 doesnt need baby hair!! The key word is baby damnit!

Bad example for baby hair
Oh so because Kim Kardashian did it once now its a ‘story’ to ask if its making come back…Black woman been brought it, dropped it, picked it up and brought it back! ????????????????♀️
No so much as baby hair .. it’s more like defining the edges. The focus is on edges theses days because the lack of from extreme styling mishaps. So yes the edges are being highlighted more than ever now. If you’re edges aren’t on point you will be the topic
Nope..the whole idea of baby hairs is ridiculous and i think it looks crazy..I wish people would stop it.
I always had baby hair. I didn’t know it was out of style.
Edges are a major conversation within the those who wear extensions (braids and weaves) community and it’s neat that baby hairs are a thing as they were back in the day.
Did they leave?
Right.
People swirl them up like fingerwaves these days. Let them go!!!
Those are curtains in the pic posted. Long ass drapes. Not baby hairs
Ummm…..those are not baby hairs…those are giant pieces of hair brushed in circles with gel. Just saying
If you put baby hairs on mi we’re fighting and I’m not paying you…
okkkkk
This reminds me of The Nightmare Before Christmas

Those ain’t baby hair they’re bangs lol
But that’s not baby hair ????????♀️????????

First of all, baby hairs never left! ????????♀????????
Bruh forreal they been back
Sombody better invent a weave for that
That’s not babe hair???????????????? thats a full damn ponytail
I hope it doesn’t rain on that forehead
After 18 months, there is no such thing as baby hairs. We’ll just call them slick edges.

No
They never left
Noooo, I hope not… maybe for babies but ladies let’s give it a rest!! ????
Yes and people are going to the extreme just like they did with eyebrows ????
Please god no
They don’t have any. Thanks to weave. ????????♀️ They are cutting hair to make edges and baby hair. My fam got baby hair. You know who’s related when you come to our city. Been doing it since the 70s.
I didn’t know they left.
They’ve always been here. Never a comeback needed. These aren’t Baby hairs
