The history of when and with whom the baby hair was born is unknown, but it was first popularized by the
legendary black actress Josephine Baker according to Crowned researchers. She was an American naturalized France, and she was also a dancer, singer, civils rights activist and well known as Black Venus.
“Baby hairs” are the thin, wispy hairs that sometimes grow around your hairline. Also called “peach fuzz” or “vellus,” when it comes to adults. These hairs have a much different texture than the hair around the rest of the head.
Today edge styling is still a regular part of many beauty routines and cultural appropriation for Black women. Therefore, baby hair is a hairstyle that allows black women to connect with their ancestry.
Edges became an accessory to straightened hair, afros, braids, and all types of black hair. Instead of styling hair to make it look straight, baby hair could be used to accentuate black hairstyles. Baby hairs were taking on a new meaning to women these past
decades. Now, the question is does baby hair are a YES or a No for women?
