Trying a slick-back hairstyle can be intimidating if you don’t have the right products to get started, and it can take a while to get used to. Here are some of the products I love that help with lasting, slick back ponytails while maintaining the look of smooth, healthy hair.

TO PREP:

I always love putting in a hair mask and hair oil on “dirty” hair before I do a slick-back. This helps prevent breakage and split ends.

EVA NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask — Ulta
VERB Ghost Oil — Ulta
Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil — Sephora

Time to slick!

Bed Head Hair Stick by TIGI
Frizz Smacker

I love the Frizz Smacker because it’s the size of a mascara tube and easy to take on the go. You can put it in your purse on a night out and never have to worry about being bothered by fly-aways.

ECO Styling Gel with Argan Oil
Edge brush to slick back baby hairs

I use Eco Styling Gel when I really need my hair to stay. Whether it’s sorority formals and date parties or working, this stuff ensures that my hair doesn’t move for hours.

DONE!
