Q: How do you slick back hair?
A: Start with damp hair and a little gel or cream, then brush firmly from the hairline back in one direction. Firm bristles are what give the tension needed for a smooth finish.
Q: What brush is best for a slicked back look?
A: One with firm bristles and a curved head, so it grips the hair and follows the shape of the skull. Soft bristles will not create the tension a sleek finish needs.
Q: How do you clean a hair brush?
A: Lift the shed hair out with the end of a comb, then wash the head in warm soapy water. Slick-back styling uses product, so this brush needs washing more often than most.
