  1. So just to clarify, are you referring to women with very curly hair, who might have a few areas near the front of their heads with “baby hairs“ — plural — as opposed to people with baby fine hair? Would this apply to those of us we with all over baby fine hair who have broken hairs in that same area? Thanks.
