I’m always open to trying new hair looks and switching things up, and recently I’ve been really into the sleek, slicked back look. Here’s my little how-to guide on creating this look. You don’t need long hair to make this look work! It works great with shorter lengths, too!

- For this look to work you need your hair to be slightly damp, so after washing your hair, towel dry until just slightly damp, or if your hair is already dry, add some water to dampen it up.

- Use a comb, not a hair brush, and comb your hair from the front near your forehead, to the back, in sections, making sure to get out all of those tricky knots.

- Now for the hair gel. Use a wet-look gel and apply using the palms of your hands to the front and sides of your head. Leave the back of your hair gel-free so that it falls back naturally.

- Grab your comb and comb the hair from front to back again to secure in place and apply a light layer of hairspray. Voila!!
