The Best Way to Slick Back Baby Hairs for Curly Hair
If you haven't noticed I have very thick curly hair. While it looks beautiful when it's fresh and curly it can be ALOT to manage and brush. I rock the messy looks with ease but anything "slick back" is a little harder. Here's my hack for getting the slicked back look.

Start with a loose ponytail we're going to re-do it
Then grab a toothbrush and dab it in some hair gel
Lightly tap the baby hair but avoid pressing down on your head
Try to apply a small amount of gel on the larger baby hairs first
Then once you've applied the gel evenly throughout the hair you can press the toothbrush down. If you were to press down immediately you could over apply too much gel in one area.
Then using a brush with thick and hard bristles brush back all the baby hair
Now undo your ponytail and redo it using that same brush
Here's my final look. Notice I have alot less baby hairs exploding everywhere

Hi Sarah...
Thanks for the post. I have wild curly hair that turns into a fuzz-ball when it’s humid out…which seems to be ALWAYS! ;). I have used gel to ‘tame’ the wild but, I’ve only used it as an all-over application. I haven’t seen the toothbrush for baby hairs technique before so…a first for me. I’ll give it a try on the little fuzzies around my face…they are so annoying sometimes.
Please keep up the good work on your tutorials. I enjoy watching them and have learned a lot of little tricks and tips from you.
Have a beautiful day!!
Awesome hack for those of us living in humid climates, I'd forgotten all about the toothbrush gel hack before brushing hair trick. Thank you for the cool reminder. We used to use tons of pomade, and wax, back in the day, which took tons of shampoo to get out. LOL. Your hair is beautiful, God Bless you.
