I cut my hair way too short earlier this year but I found that a few slicked back looks really worked with it. Here we go!

HOW TO:

First things first, spray down your hair so it's damp. Then rub a bit of water-based pomade in your fingers and spread it through your damp hair.





1. Side Part Slick

Part with the pointed end of a comb then comb down the sides and pin behind your ears with bobby pins.

2. Straight Back Headband

Comb straight back, add a headband, and fluff up the back with your fingers.

3. Classic Slick

You'll need a little extra pomade for this one. Add the pomade throughout your hair and then comb straight back. Use a straightening iron before slicking back if you're looking for an even sleeker look. Pin at the back of your neck until the hair dries and hardens a bit. Spray with hairspray.



4. Feminine Double Swoop

Side part with the pointed end of a comb then comb. Then swoop it back on each side and pin it up with bobby pins.

7. Pin Back

Part with the pointed end of a comb then comb down the sides and pin all of your hair messily at the nape of your neck using bobby pins.

Planning to Study in Germany can feel overwhelming at first, especially when it comes to understanding public universities, language requirements, and the overall application process. I’ve been reading different student experiences and guides from platforms like Education Vibes, and they really help in breaking down complex topics in a simple way. Germany definitely stands out for its quality education and affordable tuition, making it a practical option for international students who want strong academic exposure along with good career prospects.
