Spring has brought us the slicked back hairstyle, which works really well for shorter styled hair. Use plenty of gel, style with your fingers, and slick it straight back, with no part. If you must have a part, please part is as far on the side as possible and only wear your hair this way if your hair is super short. This style is best for the younger age group.

Shine serum can make your hair look oily. To prevent this, distribute a silicone based serum from mid hair to the ends. Twist hair around a curling iron. The heat causes the serum to distribute more evenly.
Extremely straight hair makes split ends look more obvious. In order to hide them, use a flatiron and flip the very ends of your hair in various directions. This will also break up harsh lines and add a little more movement to your hair.
The top of your hair sometimes can take the blunt of wear and tear without anyone noticing. In order to tame the blame, use a tiny curling iron to smooth out the scragglies, making a finished, polished look.
Long, thick hair may take a long time to dry. To speed up the process, use a diffuser turned on the cool setting. It may sound strange, but the cool air will dry your air without opening up the hair cuticles, thus preventing the frizzies.
