It's hard to imagine the red carpet and catwalks of this world without this beauty trend: the sleek look. It's somehow a little "edgy" but also elegant and it's precisely this combination that makes this look so special. Sleek hair goes with an evening dress as well as a casual "white-shirt-with-jeans-look". A real fashion icon.
A sleek look basically describes a hairstyle in which the hair is combed back tightly with gel or hairspray. It is also often referred to as a "wet look" because, depending on which styling product you use, your hair appears as if you have recently wet it.
Sebastian Professional has just the right styling products for this trend and we have the best tips and tricks for you on how to perfect this trendy sleek look. Read on now!
Your equipment
Your hair length is absolutely irrelevant for this hairstyle. Whether you have long hair or short hair, this look always looks sexy and gives you a certain charisma. Anyone can wear it! You can opt for loose hair or a ponytail, whichever you prefer. However, you still need the right tools and products to make your sleek look a success:
You shouldn't do without the following products:
- Hair straightener
- Thermal protectors
- Sebastian Professional Eruptek
- Brush (preferably one with natural bristles)
- Sebastian Professional Shaper Zero Gravity Spray
- Comb
- Sebastian Professional Dark Oil
All beginnings are easy
Straighten your hair with your favourite straightener and make sure your hair is really straight. Don't forget to use heat protection to protect your hair. For a flawless result, we recommend going strand by strand and combing your hair beforehand. The great thing about a sleek look is that your hair doesn't necessarily have to be freshly washed. This gives it a little more bounce and helps the styling hold a little better. But you can of course use shampoo and conditioner beforehand if you tend to have dry or brittle hair.
We want volume!
Even if we consciously style our hair backwards, we don't want to do without a voluminous mane. Sebastian Form Eruptek is your friend and helper here. A styling paste for explosive volume and strong hold. This salon product is ideal for fine hair, whether short or long, because it doesn't weigh it down and lasts all day.
Our tip: Briefly warm Sebastian Professional Eruptek in the palms of your hands and apply directly to dry hair. Apply from roots to ends and distribute evenly. The volume will blow you away!
Smooth it out!
