The Slicked- Back Ponytail Look Technique

Step 1: Part Your Hair in the Middle

Use a comb or hair brush to help create a middle part in your hair..

Step 2: Pull Your Hair Back into a Half-Up Ponytail

Using your hair tie, start securing half the hair onto top into a high pony.

Step 3: Apply Glacial Clay Pomade

Take a small scoop of Glacial Clay Pomade, warm it between your hands, and smooth it over the half-up section to tame flyaways and add shine.

Step 4: Smooth and Refine

Use your hands to smooth the top section further, ensuring no bumps or stray hairs remain.

Step 5: Pull Back the Remaining Hair

Gather the rest of your hair and combine it with the half-up ponytail to create one sleek ponytail.

Step 6: Secure with a Hair Tie

Secure the whole ponytail with a second hair tie to set the style in place.

Step 7: Final Touches

Smooth out any remaining flyaways with another small scoop of pomade, using your fingers for a flawless finish. And just like that, your slicked-back ponytail is done, ready for anything!
