But prior to beginning to twirl your own edges in place, Fesa has a few tips.
Petroleum-based products or a beeswax with a hold are best in this case," he says.
Once you’ve gotten your edge control on hand, there’s the matter of actually shaping your edges.
“The faster the baby hairs dry down, the better the upkeep is,” Fesa says.
Now that you’ve got some direction, it’s time to live your baby hair fantasy.
Take a peek at some of the looks that have been inspiring us as of late.

One Giant Loop
H.E.R.
’s hair at the2021 Oscarswas an absolute dream.
We love how her stylist placed it exactly so you could see it in all its glory.
Extra Wavy
Normani’sbaby hairs are making us want to grab our surfing gear.
Deep Waves
Is there anything chicer than a slicked-back bun?
Note the teeny-tiny swoops at the edges.
They’re just subtleenough,but still impactful.
Rhinestone-Studded
We can’t name one thing we don’t like about this look.
By her sideburns, a little S-pattern wave was added as a welcome contrast to the combed-down section.
Sideburn Loop
Cornrows and baby hairs: name a more iconic duo.
Both ended at the sideburns in a neat, sculpted loop.
(Wherever they’re going, we want her to take us there.)
The bun’s edginess pairs beautifully with those soft, scalloped baby hairs all across her hairline.
Swirled & Slayed
Bree Runaway’s baby hairs are slick as a mutha.
Single Swoop
@nonicyngorfinessed her side part in one fell swoop.
Latticed Edges
No natural baby hairs?
The delicately-latticed hairs are anchored by a high genie ponytail.
They’re so dramatically curved, they almost look like little hooks.
They’re a lovely finishing touch to her cornrows, which are pulled into an elegant low bun.
Fuzzy Edges
Baby hairs theydon’t always need to be flawlessly laid!
It’s a modern twist on a classic updo.
Gelled-Up Curls
@lilasmia’s baby hairs flow right into her updo.
This is a quick and easy way to lay down your edges if ornate designs aren’t your style.
Soft Edges
@chelliscurls’s wispy edges are brilliantly glossy.
We love howsoftthey look here.
Yes, they have a bit of definition, but they aren’t done with a heavy hand.
The shape is there, but it’s subtle, almost as if her hair naturally falls that way.
Do you see them?
Whispers of baby hairs that arejustdefined enough to give her sleek ponytail a delicate, ethereal touch.
Sideburn Swirl
If Saweetie is the baby hair princess,FKA Twigs is the queen.
When she came on the scene, she was serving baby hair looks that were downright artistic.
Faux Hawk Finishing Touch
@diaaandra26’s baby hairs are also super subtle here.
Curly Temple
@heygorjessis looking extra fly with this half-up/half-down look.
