GET THE LOOK

SLICKED BACK

Make sultry sleek hair your statement style come party season. Wavy hairstyles don’t have to be flowing and face framing, so flip back your long hair to create a look that exudes passion and supremacy. The slicked back look is anything but bohemian - it’s dangerous, dynamite and dazzling.

For sleek perfection, style your long hair in two stages: create the wavy hair, then slick your locks back. Prep with ghd curl hold spray to create healthy, long-lasting curls. For textured movement, the ghd platinum+ styler delivers one-stroke styling on long hair – alternate the direction of each curl to bring a layered edge to your look. Pump ghd total volume foam through your locks and use the ghd detangling comb to create slicked siren appeal.

Backlash against the long hairstyle regime with a slicked back style that radiates pure glamour, brought to you by ghd.
