HOW TO: Slick Back
Transcript
A seat. This is how you're gonna achieve the slickest slick back. I had so many questions on how I do my slick bad, so here it is. Because you know me and I love a good slick back, it just makes you feel so confident and snatched. I always start with some sort of hair oil because you might as well nourish your hair while your hair is up. I go in with the Actin Acres Scalp Spray and then the Briogeo Rosemary Oil. And don't forget to massage your scalp in between those steps. This is totally optional, but I love a part in my slick bad, so I'm just finding the middle and then putting my hair up in a rough pony. Don't forget the back. I always say out of sight out of mind, so the back of my head's none of my business, but you do want that part worse slick too. Now I go in with my holding product. So I'm using the Biroggio sleek stick best to hold any of those baby hairs in place, followed by the day styling cream to make sure all those hairs are smooth. Again, totally optional. I yes three brushes. All you need is one to just make sure all the hair is smooth and in place. There's no bumps whatsoever. This is the part that definitely takes so long, especially if you're perfectionist like me and don't want any bumps. Keep brushing until you have it smooth, then taking it out one last time to make sure every side is smooth, the back, the front, the top. You tie it up into your final pony. Then I finish off with a little bit of hairspray or a lock just to make sure any flyaways are in place, and it adds a little bit of shine as well. And after all that, give yourself a round of applause and let your arms rest. This tutorial helped you achieve the most snatched slick back. Bye.
