You don\u2019t have to miss out on rocking a slicked back style just because you have curly hair<\/a>. To wear your waves in a sleek way, just start with damp, towel-dried hair. Then, blow-dry your locks away from your face while combing them back. Apply pomade all over your hair, including the roots, while using your hands to smooth back strands. Finish by neatly brushing your hair towards to back of your head.<\/p>\n

Comb vs Fingers<\/span><\/h3>\n

When styling a slicked-back look, you can either use a comb or your fingers to smooth strands backwards. If you want a classic style that appears smooth and neat, be sure to choose a comb. The comb\u2019s teeth will offer more control when styling and can help achieve a more defined style. For a more modern or textural slicked-back style, your fingers are the ideal tool for the job. They will direct your strands back away from your face but leave you with a more natural appearance.<\/p>\n

How to Train Hair to Slick Back<\/span><\/h2>\n

For a perfect slicked-back look, you may need to teach your strands to sit flat when styled back away from your face. To do so, all you need to do is regularly style your hair backwards, so that your strands start to grow in that direction. You can do this by brushing towel-dried hair back. Then, use your hands to apply a small amount of styling clay from the front of your hair to the back. Now, comb your hair through and add more clay if needed. Apply an oil-based pomade to add shine and manoeuvrability before\u00a0using your comb once more.<\/p>\n

How to Keep Your Hair Looking Wet<\/span><\/h2>\n

To keep your hair looking sleek and wet all day, you need to use the right hair products<\/a>. A good quality pomade or mousse should do the job well. Just make sure you choose one that adds plenty of shine. If you select a pomade, remember to apply it to dry strands. If you decide on a mousse, you should use it on damp hair.<\/p>\n

Products for Slicking Back Your Hair<\/span><\/h2>\n

To achieve the perfect slicked-back style, you\u2019re going to need to use hair products. Whether that product is pomade, wax or clay will alter the outcome of your style. As such, it\u2019s important to know the differences between each of these options so that you can choose the right one for the look you desire.<\/p>\n

Pomade<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most barbers<\/a> would advise you to use pomade when creating a classic slicked-back hairstyle. All you need to do is select the right type based on your needs and desired look. It is available in natural, oil-based, and water-based varieties. Natural is best for a matte finish with a subtle sheen while oil- and water-based versions offer more shine and are ideal for sleek styles.<\/p>\n

Wax<\/span><\/h3>\n

Wax is a seriously versatile hair product and can easily be used to slick back hair. Although it won\u2019t usually provide as much shine or manoeuvrability as pomade, it will offer extra hold. As such, it\u2019s a good option for keeping unruly hair in place or achieving a textured style that won\u2019t lose its shape throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Clay<\/span><\/h3>\n

For a natural slick back style, clay is the best choice. As the product is drier than wax or pomade, it provides a more texturised finish and is perfect for messy and modern versions.<\/p>\n
