This question appears to be asking about how to style hair on the head to look like the popular "slicked back" or "comb-over" hairstyle. Here's how to achieve that:
Achieving the Slicked Back Hairstyle
The "good back hair" look likely refers to a sleek, styled appearance where the hair is directed backward, away from the face. Here’s how you can achieve this:
-
Start with Damp Hair: Damp hair is more manageable than dry hair. You can achieve this by washing your hair or lightly spraying it with water.
-
Apply Product: Choose a hair product appropriate for your hair type and desired hold. Options include:
- Pomade: Provides a strong hold and shine.
- Gel: Offers a firm hold and a wet look.
- Wax: Gives texture and a medium hold.
- Mousse: Lightweight, adds volume and hold.
Apply a small amount to your palms, rub them together, and distribute evenly throughout your hair.
-
Comb Backwards:
- Use a fine-toothed comb.
- Start at the front hairline and comb back towards the crown of your head.
- Comb the sides back as well, blending them with the hair from the top.
-
Create Volume (Optional): For added volume, especially at the front, you can gently lift the hair with your fingers as you comb it back. Backcombing (teasing) the hair at the roots can also provide volume, but be gentle to avoid damage.
-
Refine and Style: Once the general shape is achieved, use your fingers to refine the style. You can create a more relaxed, textured look by running your fingers through your hair or a more polished look by using the comb to smooth any stray hairs.
-
Set the Style: For extra hold, especially for longer or thicker hair, consider using hairspray to set the style in place. Hold the can about 12 inches away from your head and spray evenly.
Tips for Success
- Experiment with Products: Finding the right product for your hair type is crucial. Experiment with different types of pomades, gels, waxes, and mousses to see which one works best for you.
- Adjust Product Amount: Start with a small amount of product and add more as needed. It's easier to add more product than to remove too much.
- Consider Hair Length: Shorter hair is generally easier to style into a slicked-back look. Longer hair may require more product and attention.
- Regular Trims: Keep your hair trimmed to maintain the shape and prevent split ends, which can make the style look unkempt.
