Sleek Hair

Sleek Hair

Another early-2000s trend is climbing the charts again. Sleek hair is back, updated. The base of the style is a wet look, with hair close to the root at the front, while the back stays free and customizable.

We recommend Keraform Aloe Curl Jelly for the best results.

This is a fresh, easy style. It is ideal for a bad-hair day, and because the hair needs to sit super aligned, start with a frizz-free prep. It is the key detail in a look that can go minimal or ultra-relaxed, depending on the finish — from shiny gems at the front to a low bun with a more professional feel.

We recommend Keramax Hair Reconstruction Sealant Defrizzer and Leave-In for the best results.

Sleek hair is a minimal, elegant style: stretch the sections at the root so they sit firm, while the rest of the hair stays loose or is gathered in a ponytail, bun, or other finish. It works on every hair type.

How do you actually wear it day to day? Use the day your hair is not freshly washed but still has room for creativity. Start with a finishing brush, combing the hair back so no stray hairs or frizz show. Curl jelly is your best ally for the wet look — the idea is a stretched, locked-in finish, so be generous at this step.
