How to Style a Slickback Haircut

🔹 Step 1: Start With Clean, Damp Hair

The base of a perfect slick back starts in the shower. Use a lightweight shampoo and conditioner (preferably sulfate-free) to cleanse your hair without weighing it down.

Towel dry until your hair is about 70–80% dry—not soaking wet, not bone dry. Slight moisture helps distribute product more evenly.

🔹 Step 2: Prep With Sea Salt Spray

Before adding clay, build your foundation with Pyrosso Sea Salt Spray.

Here’s why:

1. Adds natural volume and grip
2. Enhances texture without stiffness
3. Makes thick or stubborn hair more manageable

Spray evenly from roots to ends (4–6 sprays depending on length), then blow-dry with a vented brush or fingers while brushing hair back. Use medium heat and aim the air in the direction you want your slick back to go.

Pro Tip: Blow-drying backward while lifting at the roots creates natural lift and structure, so your slick back won’t fall flat later.

🔹 Step 3: Apply Komodo Clay (The Backbone of the Style)

Once your hair is dry and shaped, scoop a fingernail-sized amount of Komodo Clay and warm it up between your palms until smooth.

Apply evenly:

1. Start from the back and work your way to the front
2. Focus on the roots for hold and mid-shaft for control
3. Use your fingers to comb it through for a natural distribution

Komodo Clay gives a strong hold with a matte finish, perfect for guys who want that clean, dry, structured look without shine or grease.

🔹 Step 4: Shape With the Right Comb

Now it’s time to define the look. Use Pyrosso’s Wide Tooth Comb to gently shape the slick back without pulling or clumping. This helps maintain volume and separation.

Follow it up with the Fine Tooth Comb if you want a tighter, more polished look. Think CEO slick back vs. laid-back creative director.

Comb Tip:

1. Comb sides diagonally back for a natural taper
2. Comb top straight back or slightly off-center depending on your head shape

🔹 Step 5: Lock It In (Optional)

If you’re heading into a long day or humid weather, finish with a light mist of hairspray to lock everything in place.

Otherwise, the clay + sea salt combo is strong enough for most all-day hold.

🔹 Final Thoughts

The slick back is more than just a style—it’s a statement. When done right, it shows discipline, confidence, and taste. And with Komodo Clay, sea salt spray, and the Pyrosso combs, you’re working with tools designed for results.
