Step 1: Apply Your Product
The best choice to keep your slicked back style looking slick is to use a small amount of pomade. To make the pomade easier to apply, rub your hands together to warm the product. Focus on applying it to the front of your hair and push your hair backwards with your hands. Moving the remainder of the product towards the back will prevent flyaways and ensure that all of the exposed hair is coated.
Step 2: Smooth Out Your Style
After applying the pomade, the chances are that your hair will look slightly messy and not very slicked back. Using a brush or comb, smooth the hair back. Brushing backwards will make sure that the style is even and that there are no stray strands around your head. If your hair is thick and stubborn, feel free to apply a little bit more pomade for extra hold and repeat the brushing process until you’ve achieved your desired look.
