If you have long hair and want to get a cooler look, a slicked back hairstyle is perfect for you!! Slicked back hairstyles have been used throughout the years as the fastest n’ easiest way to style your hair for a cool, sophisticated look. The hardest task is learning how to train your hair to slick back. 75% of men’s hair doesn’t naturally brush back, especially if you have thick and/or curly hair. Here is where I can help. Grab yourself a hairbrush, hair dryer, and hair wax or a hair moisturizer cream.

First, wash your hair with room temperature or warm water. The water shouldn’t be too hot or too cold. In the times you dry your hair in the mornings or at night before bed, towel-dry and consistently, but gently, pull it back. Then, dry your hair with the hair dryer.

Second, you should choose a strong wax, hair gel, or moisturizer cream. Apply it and try to pull your hair back gently with a comb or brush. Consistently do it 2-3 times a day, and after 5-7 days, your hair will begin to naturally slick back, and you too can have a classic slicked back hairstyle.
