These days, slick back hair can look both futuristic and fresh. Especially when teamed with more feminine spring florals, it provides a welcome, unique contrast. The best part: It’s super easy and unexpected for the season, earning it a trillion more style points in our books! Read on to learn more about how you can create slick back hair. For many women of color, no hair look is complete without reaching for gel or edge control to get their baby hairs swooshed, sleek and slayed. Ranging from the ‘I woke up like this” effortless, yet chic baby hair look to the crafty, intricate webs of waves, edges are the perfect finishing touch to textured hair looks. For many people, hair starts growing back around four to six weeks after finishing chemotherapy. That timeline varies from one person to the next, but no matter when your hair starts to grow back, it’s going to be fragile at first, and your scalp might be sensitive. So make sure you treat your hair carefully for the first six months after 5. Threading facial hair. Threading is an old-school technique that uses teeny-tiny strings of thread to pluck out hairs. Essentially, the threads are twisted in unison to grab each hair and pull Comb your hair straight back for a slick back. Use a very fine-tooth comb, such as a rattail comb, to smooth out your hair. Comb it to the back of your head, creating a smooth finish on the sides and top. For this look, make sure to leave the pomade, gel, or wax off the bottom of the hair so it has some movement. 7. Eat Foods That Promote Hair Growth and Thickness. Meats like steak and chicken, oysters, seeds, shrimp, fatty fish, eggs, beans, avocados, soybeans, nuts, sweet peppers, spinach, sweet potatoes, and berries are foods that we recommend for encouraging hair growth and thickness. 1. Massage your scalp for 4–5 minutes daily to stimulate hair growth. Scalp massages have been shown to have an effect on slowing down hair loss and stimulating new growth.

So I visited my stylist yesterday (who also happens to work with me, love that!) and she said that my hair is breaking from pulling it back in a ponytail and that I should stop pulling it back so tight. Only problem is, I often pull it back tight when I run/workout mostly because I hate when it sticks to my sweaty face/neck. Start by applying a generous amount of texture spray (we love Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray, $48) through your hair, mainly focusing on the roots. Then, tie your hair into a low, loose ponytail. Braid your hair, using the classic three-strand technique, making sure to leave a couple of inches free at the bottom. Get the look by leaving your hair long on the top along with cutting the sides and leaving the back short. All you need to style this ‘do is a dollop of hair cream like the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Curl Taming Cream. Apply to your hair evenly from root to tip, scrunch hair gently, and air dry. 9TE9ZH.
