Follow this Plan to Achieve the Sleek Back Youve Always Wanted
Want a sleek back look? Heres a solid plan thatll help you get the hairdo youve always wanted. You dont need fancy products or expensive equipment. All you need is dedication and the right know-how. Heres how.
Start by removing any impurities. Use a mild shampoo and lukewarm water to clean your hair and scalp. If your hair is particularly oily, you might consider adding a teaspoon of baking soda or apple cider vinegar to your shampoo lather. This helps eliminate build up and will make styling easier.
Gently towel dry your hair and use a wide toothed comb to evenly detangle. This is important as this will cause less breakage during styling and control the direction of your cuticles.
If you want a sleeker look opt for a straightening comb or a flat iron. Begin on the lowest heat setting and gradually increase the heat as you move your way through. This will ensure straightness and you won’t be exposing hair to too much heat.
To finish off, give your hair an extra shine by using a serum with light to medium hold. This will add volume and texture to your hair while smoothing down any short ends.
These few steps can be done quickly and require minimal effort. The result should be a voluminous yet sleek back look. To maintain the hairdo use a microfiber towel to dry the hair or use a shawl to wrap your hair and prevent damage.
Also use a minimal amount of styling products on your hair. Too much product can lead to excess build up and reduce the quality of your look. Instead, spritz on a light hairspray to avoid flyaways and keep hair from getting frizzy.
Finally, unless youre a professional, I wouldnt recommend bleaching or dyeing too often. Regular exposure to these products can cause hair to become weak and thin. Plus, they strip out the natural oils and moisturize from the hair, making it more vulnerable to breakage.
Now that you have the plan for your sleek back hairdo, the power is in your hands. How often and how long you keep up the process is entirely up to you. Nourishing your hair with a regular hair mask routine and low-manipulation styles will also increase the longevity of your hairdo.
The next step is to make sure you have the right tools and products. Depending on what you a comfortable with, you can buy high quality, specialised tools or you can use what you have at home. You will need a wide toothed comb, a blow dryer, a serum, a stylers or a flat iron with adjustable heat settings and maybe a hair mask.
Once you have the products and tools, it is important to consider where to focus on in order to achieve the look you want. Make sure to go slowly and avoid making your hair look too stiff or crunchy. Concentrate on sections, and really take your time.
If you struggle with split ends, using a serum is the best option. This will lock in moisture and will help protect your hair from heat damage while also helping to straighten and smooth out the hair. It doesnt have to be a professional grade product either, simple coconut oil or olive oil work as an inexpensive and effective hair treatment. Just make sure that you do not apply too much as that could complicate matters.
Now comes the blow drying and styling. Before you begin, its important to ensure that the hair is completely dry. This will reduce the risk of heat damage. You can use a round brush to curl and wave your hair in certain sections. Work slowly and apply even heat to make sure you are getting the sleek look you desire.
Once you are happy with the results, make sure to use a firm-hold hairspray to lock in the style. Applying the hairspray at a distance of around 8-10 inches will prevent your hair from looking too stiff or over sprayed.
Finally, pat your hair with a towel or your hands, setting the style in place. Make sure to keep your routine regular, moisturise your hair, and the sleek look you want is yours to keep.
