Sleek Hair

So in the spirit of awards ceremonies, I've been scowered the internet trying to find the hottest looks for this season.  And there are plenty to choose from!  I'm ultra excited to try out loads of different looks over spring and summer, especially to get a haircut at the end of this month!

One of my favourite looks I found was 'sleek' hair.  All the hair is backcombed and then slicked down in a sexy style.  This works very well to enhance your facial features, or to showcase your beautiful makeup that you worked so hard on.

Showcasing the look:

Ashley Olsen slicks back her hair with a nifty half-bun

Emma Watson shows off her pixie-do with a slicked back look (looking lovely!)

Jessica Alba shows us how it is done!

 How to achieve this easy look:

1. Prep hair with mousse and blow dry using a round brush.

2. Take a section of hair 1/2 inch back from along your hairline (between your temples) and clip it to the side.

3. Working in horizontal sections from your crown to front hairline, backcomb your hair, spraying each section with a body-building spray like TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Root Boosting Spray.

4. Pull all the teased hair back into your desired style and with the front section that was clipped to the side, smooth this over the top of the teased hair with a boar bristle brush. (This is the secret to maintaining volume while creating a smooth/gelled back look!)

5. Finish with hairspray or gel, whichever you prefer.

I hope you've enjoyed this hair tutorial, and will give this a go!  Please don't forget to vote in my poll on what you'd prefer to see next on a YouTube video.

Fun, slicked back hair...
