the slick back look

My new favorite thing to do to my hair right now is slicking it allllll the way back with some gel and doing an updo from there. My inspo for this was of course, the slick back queen, Bella Hadid. She’s always doing a slick back hairdo and I am here for it. It definitely leaves more of the emphasis on your outfit details and makeup. Ever since trying this look about a month ago, I can’t stop. If I’m going out to eat, shop, or want to look a bit more put together, I’m putting gel in my hair. This also helps with for a “dirty” hair type of day. I’m new to the world of not washing your hair every day, it’s bad for you, I know. When my hair is not looking too hot, instead of washing it, I’ll put gel in it and be able to save my hair from all the damage I was causing it. This has really become a game changer for me because I’ve always wanted to keep my hair happy and healthy, and this trick does it for me.

One of my fav gel hairstyles to do is a slicked back little bun. This has been more of my go-to for every day looks. It’s easy, simple, and classic. When I want to add a little bit of funk, I’ll do two high pigtail braids. Another cute one is doing a ponytail with a “bubble braid.” This one is definitely a bit different, but so much fun to wear. Add a claw clip, different colored ponytails, or anything that you think will add a bit of your personality to make these hairstyles more unique to you. All these looks can be achieved with just a bit of gel, a good styling brush, and ponytails. I’ll leave a link to the best hair gel I’ve used down below if you would like to try any of these hairstyles out.

Let me know if you’re into any of these looks down below. See you next week!
