Top 10 Tricks for Perfecting Your Mr. Slick Slicked Back Hairstyle

Trick 1 — Start with Clean, Damp Hair

The Mr. Slick hairstyle looks sharpest when applied to clean, damp hair straight out of the shower. Wash with Mr. Vibrant Volumizing Shampoo to remove buildup and give your hair the clean, manageable base it needs for a flawless slicked-back finish. Damp hair allows the pomade to distribute more evenly and gives you the ultimate high-gloss, wet-look result.

Trick 2 — Use the Right Amount of Product

Start with a small, dime-sized amount of Mr. Slick Molding Pomade and build up from there. Too little and your style won't hold. Too much hair can look weighed down or greasy. The water-based formula is lightweight and goes a long way — so less is more when you're first starting.

Trick 3 — Warm It Up in Your Palms

Rub the pomade between your palms for a few seconds before applying. This warms Adding water to the formula warms it, making it more pliable, and ensures even distribution from root to tip — giving you that consistent, luminous wet-look shine that defines the Mr. Slick slicked back hairstyle.

Trick 4 — Work from Back to Front

Apply Mr. Slick starting at the back of your head and work forward toward your hairline. This ensures even coverage and prevents the front from getting too much product. Finish by smoothing the sides and front into your desired shape.

Trick 5 — Use a Fine-Tooth Comb for Precision

Once the pomade is applied, use a Hair Situation handmade comb to slick your hair back into place with clean, defined lines. The anti-static cellulose acetate material glides through hair without disrupting the formula, giving you razor-sharp precision every single time. A fine-tooth comb is your best tool for the classic slicked-back look.

Trick 6 — Blow Dry for Extra Volume and Hold

For more volume and lift in a pompadour or quiff variation of the slicked-back style, apply Mr. Slick to damp hair and use a blow dryer on medium heat while lifting the hair at the roots. Once the shape is set, slick the surface back and sides down with your comb for a polished finish with serious volume on top.

Trick 7 — Rework Your Style Throughout the Day

One of the biggest advantages of Mr. Slick Molding Pomade is its pliable, reworkable hold. Unlike waxes or strong-hold sprays that set rigid, Mr. Slick stays flexible — so you can run a comb through it and reshape your slicked-back hairstyle throughout the day without reapplying. Just a quick pass with the comb and you're back to looking sharp.

Trick 8 — Let the Shine Speak for Itself

The high-gloss finish of Mr. Slick is what makes the slicked-back look so striking and distinctive. Resist the urge to touch your hair once it's styled — Let the formula set and deliver the luminous wet-look shine that commands attention in any room. The less you touch it, the sharper it looks.

Trick 9 — Rinse Clean at the End of the Day

Mr. Slick is 100% water-based — which means it rinses out completely with just water. No harsh shampoo needed, no buildup, no residue. This makes it ideal for daily use without worrying about product accumulation damaging your hair over time. A quick rinse and you're ready to start fresh the next morning.
