MOOCH HAIR: THE BABY HAIR

The Ultimate Guide to Soft, Natural Baby Hair

Baby hair can completely transform an install—but the key is knowing how to create it without making it look too heavy, bulky, or unnatural.

In Mooch Hair: The Baby Hair, I’ll walk you through my personal technique for creating soft, natural-looking baby hair that complements the hairline and completes your install.

This tutorial focuses not only on how to mold baby hair, but on the full customization process that happens before the molding even begins. You’ll learn how I create, thin, shape, cut, curl, and mold the hair to achieve a softer and more realistic finish.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Sectioning & Placement

Learn how I section out the baby hair and determine proper placement around the hairline. Placement is important because your baby hair should complement the hairline—not overpower it.

Thinning the Hairline

I’ll show you how I thin and customize the hairline to remove unnecessary density and prepare it for a more natural baby-hair finish.

Plucking the Baby Hair

Learn how I strategically pluck the baby-hair sections to remove bulk and create a softer, more realistic appearance.

Cutting & Shaping

I’ll walk you through how I cut the baby hair and create the proper length and shape needed before molding.

Curling the Baby Hair

Learn how I curl the hair to help control its direction and prepare it for molding.

Properly Molding the Baby Hair

Products I Use

I’ll also go over the products I personally prefer to use when creating and molding baby hair and explain how they fit into my technique.

RECOMMENDED TUTORIAL

Proper plucking plays a major role in achieving the final look shown in this tutorial.

If you struggle with plucking, thinning, or controlling density, I highly recommend purchasing Mooch Hair: The Basics of Plucking first. That tutorial will help you build the foundation needed to properly follow the plucking and customization techniques used throughout The Baby Hair.

Create the placement. Remove the bulk. Perfect the details. Master the baby hair.
