Here are some slick back hairstyle ideas that you can don this season and rock that outfit.

Hayden Panettiere Slick Back Hair

Hayden Panettiere opted for subtle volume at the roots and pulled it off quite efficiently. Spray some volumizing spray and blow dry the hair near the roots to give it volume while you smoothen out the sides with some styling cream.

David Beckham Wavy Combover Haircut

This has been on the charts for quite some time. It looks elegant as well as effortless. Not entirely, though. Blow dry the top hair, pull it upward and back. Then, using a styling cream, train that hair in the right direction. You may also see Formal Hairstyle Ideas for Short Hair

Justin Timberlake High Volume Slick Back Hair

Men aren’t a single step back when it comes to slick back hair. Wielding your blow dryer correctly, coupled with a good pomade and brushing skills, you can also have this legendary hairstyle done at home.

Zac Efron Side Parted Slick Back Hairdo

After you get the hang of it, this is quite easy to do. Instead of just pulling your back, side-part it, take the widest section and sweep it back using styling cream and a blow dryer to secure it in place.

Brad Pitt Pompadour Combover Hairstyle

This is definitely not for the faint-hearted. The slicked back undercut is high impact, with length at the top and shaved at the sides. With the right hair products and some styling precision, this hairdo could go a long way!

Kit Harington Slick Back Bun Hairdo

If you have long and curly hair but still want to don that slick back style, this is your go-to haircut. No extra rocket-science. Just pull all your hair back, secure it with a cream and tie it in a bun. Perfection.

Cristiano Ronaldo Slick Back Undercut Hairstyle

A favourite among his fans, Ronaldo brought this hairstyle to the charts. To get this look you have to get the sides shaved close to the skin and the top hair side parted and slicked back. Neat and decent.

Jencarlos Canela Combover Haircut

The main thing to keep in mind while imitating this look is that you have your sides properly trimmed and that you don’t weigh your top hair down. So, it is suggested that you use a deconstructing gum to hold the hair strong.

Anna Paquin Slicked Back Hair

And there goes another immensely bold look. Run mousse on damp hair to give the wet look and then wield the blow dryer to give volume at the roots and give the final shape. Smoothen it with a paddle brush and end it with some hairspray. You may also see Men Bun Hairstyles
