Can You Cut Baby Hair on the Hairline?

Published in Hair Care 1 min read

Yes, you can cut baby hair on the hairline. However, while cutting these hairs won't cause damage, it may affect your hairstyle.

Here's a breakdown of what to consider:

  • No Damage: Cutting baby hairs won't harm your hair follicles or prevent future hair growth. The reference confirms that cutting hair along the hairline doesn't cause damage.

  • Styling Considerations: Cutting baby hairs can change how your hair looks, especially when styling. As Sturdivant-Drew notes, if you pull your hair back, the cut baby hairs may stick up as flyaways.

  • Potential Issues:

    • Flyaways: Short, newly cut hairs can be difficult to manage and might stick out.
    • Uneven Appearance: If not cut carefully, the hairline can appear uneven.

Therefore, while technically possible and not harmful, consider the styling implications before cutting baby hair on the hairline.
