When you want to avoid dealing with the pain of styling your hair, consider slicking it back. Since your hair is straight, styling will be an easy process with a few added products; however, you want to avoid the pitfall of applying too much product. When too much is applied to create the wet style, your hair can look greasy or stringy instead of the ideal wet-look hairdo.Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedStyling gelCombMedium-hold hairsprayShine spraySuggest Edits1Wash and condition hair with products tailored to your hair type.
2Towel dry your hair by squeezing the moisture out of your hair. Comb through your hair to remove any tangles.
3Apply a golf ball-sized amount of styling gel to your palm. Rub your palms together. Work the gel into your hair from the tips of your hair to the roots. Open your hands and run your fingers through your hair starting at the front hairline, at your bangs, and pulling them through to the back.
4Slick the hair back with a comb. Starting at the front hairline, pull the comb through the hair. Continue combing your hair back until you reach the look you desire.
5Apply a thin coat of medium-hold hairspray to your hairstyle. The hairspray will hold the style in place once it dries. Do not spray more than a thin coating of hairspray, as this may result in a crunchy appearance.
6Spray a misting of shine spray over the hair. This will make your hair look shiny and healthy instead of greasy.
Tips & WarningsApply a small amount of silicone serum, or pomade, to tame any flyaways.
Avoid spraying hair consistantly throughout the day to keep it in place. If the hair begins to fall, re-wet it and apply gel.
