O slicked back hair it is a super elegant trend that has fallen in favor with celebrities, influencers and fashion icons. The model looks very much like that trend called “wet hair look”, with the hairs well aligned, usually thrown back. The big difference between the two is that while the wet – which in Portuguese means wet – has a moist aspect, the slicked back already has a more dry effect, however, with a lot of shine. Want to learn how to play this chic look in just 6 simple steps? So come!
Step 1: wash the locks with products that promote shine without weighing.
As we said, this hairstyle has no wet effect, but a natural shine. Therefore, it is important to start at the time of washing. Invest in products that clean your scalp without making it heavy. After all, although this look is all combed back, we don’t want a greasy effect, do we !?
Our suggestion is the Shampoo Maria Natureza Águas de Maria that promotes purifying cleaning and hydration to the extent. Another tip is not to leave the conditioner aside, it will seal the hair cuticles, promoting that natural shine that we seek. You can also use the Conditioner Maria Natureza Águas de Maria, which is in the same line as the shampoo.
Untangle the strands well with a regular comb and let it dry naturally. You can also use a hair dryer if you prefer, but don’t forget the thermal protector first. Try the SOS Cachos Coco Point Repair Oil, which in addition to protecting from high temperatures will promote even more shine for your hair at the end of the hairstyle.
Step 2: divide and secure the top of the hair.
Using the handle of a comb, preferably the thinner ones, trace a streak from ear to ear, separating the hair strands from the upper front of the head. Secure this piece of hair with a clip while you take care of the back of the hairstyle.
Step 3: Use a light finisher on the back to gently fix the wires.
To texturize and gently fix the strands on the back of the head, use a light finisher, such as a spray. Our indication is the Texturizer Spray My Smooth Wavy.
Spray the product on the wires at the rear. If you are smooth, not in quantity. That’s because we want a smoother and dry effect.
For you who are curly, take more time and even apply a little capillary gelatin to make the strands even more aligned, if you want.
Step 4: Align the hair very well.
After applying the finisher, use a fine comb to align the strands well, leaving them well behaved. If you have curly hair, avoid using a very fine comb to avoid embarrassment, prefer one with bristles a little more spaced.
Step 5: release the top part and finish.
Now it’s time to release the top wires. After that, perform the same procedure done so far on that portion of hair as well, leaving the strands well combed behind using the spray and the comb. To finish, apply a cold jet of wind from the hair dryer to ensure the driest and most fixed look.
Step 6: Apply a little fixative spray if you feel it is necessary.
If you feel that your wires need more fixation, apply a little fixing spray on top of everything. But remember: do not overdo it, as it is not cool for the hairstyle to have that hardened look, ok !?
So, ready to rock with your slicked back hair?
