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

I’ve used this method for decades, even before the internet was created and before it became popular with women of color, and now I just let my hair out and style it whichever way it wants to… My hair developed a brain of its own and at 52 years old, I think it’s as beautiful as ever. And, Im a silver fox.
Ladies, there’s no need to post such hostile comments. There ate still a lot of people who have no idea of this method. That negative energy can turn into baaaad karma.
Let there be peace on earth and LET IT BEGIN WITH ME. If people have to be ugly with each other over a lovely girl’s hair hack, how can we ever expect people to be civil to each other and when it comes to bigger, more important issues? No wonder there is war all around us when people are so unkind in small ways. And I’m guessing most of the nasty replies are from women. Shame! We must do better as examples!
