Why Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade is Perfect for a Slick-Back

Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade is specially formulated for men with coarse, curly, or thick hair—the exact hair types that often struggle with traditional pomades. Unlike heavy gels or greasy waxes, this pomade provides a medium-to-strong hold with a natural sheen that doesn't flake or weigh your hair down. Its unique blend of nourishing ingredients helps condition your hair while you style, so you get both style and care in one step.

What sets Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade apart is its ability to tame frizz and flyaways without making your hair feel stiff or crunchy. It offers excellent reworkability, meaning you can restyle your hair throughout the day without adding more product. This makes it an ideal choice for achieving a sleek slick-back that stays in place but still looks and feels natural.

• Medium-to-strong hold that lasts all day
• Natural shine without greasiness
• Conditions and nourishes while styling
• Reworkable—restyle without adding more product

Prepping Your Hair: The Foundation of a Perfect Slick-Back

Before you even open the pomade, your hair needs to be in the right condition. Start with freshly washed hair—ideally using a strengthening shampoo and conditioner like Bevel 2-in-1 Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner to ensure your hair is clean and manageable. Towel-dry your hair until it's about 80% dry; it should be damp but not dripping. This allows the pomade to distribute evenly and lock in moisture.

For the best results, apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner or hair oil, such as Bevel 3-in-1 Hair Oil, to damp hair. This adds an extra layer of hydration and helps protect your hair from heat if you plan to blow-dry. If you're blow-drying, use a round brush to direct your hair back and create volume at the roots. This step is crucial for achieving that full, sleek look rather than a flat, plastered-down appearance.

• Use a strengthening shampoo and conditioner for best results
• Towel-dry until 80% dry, not soaking wet
• Apply a small amount of hair oil to protect and hydrate
• Blow-dry with a round brush to add volume and direct hair back

Applying Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade: The Right Way

Now it's time to apply the pomade. Scoop out a small amount—about the size of a dime—and rub it between your palms to warm it up. This makes the pomade easier to spread and ensures even distribution. Starting at the back of your head, work the pomade through your hair using your fingers, moving from the nape of the neck up to the crown. Then, work the product through the sides and front, making sure every strand is coated.

For a slick-back, you want to concentrate the product at the roots to provide hold and then smooth it over the surface. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the pomade evenly, then switch to a fine-tooth comb to create the sleek, defined lines of the slick-back. Comb your hair straight back from the forehead, using slight tension to keep the hair smooth and flat. If you need more hold, add a tiny bit more pomade—but remember, you can always add, but you can't take away.

• Warm the pomade between your palms for easier application
• Apply from back to front for even coverage
• Use a wide-tooth comb first, then a fine-tooth comb for precision
• Add more product gradually to avoid over-applying

Styling the Perfect Slick-Back: Techniques and Tips

Once the pomade is evenly distributed, it's time to style. For a classic slick-back, comb your hair straight back from the forehead, following the natural direction of growth. Use a fine-tooth comb to create clean, defined lines and smooth out any bumps. If you want a more modern, textured version, use your fingers to slightly tousle the hair after combing—this adds a casual, effortless vibe while still keeping the overall shape.

To achieve a high-gloss finish, you can finish with a small amount of pomade on the surface of your hair, smoothing it down with the palms of your hands. This helps eliminate any flyaways and gives that mirror-like sheen. For extra hold, you can use a blow dryer on a cool setting to set the style. Once you're satisfied, avoid touching your hair too much throughout the day to maintain the sleek look.

• Comb straight back for a classic look
• Use fingers for a textured, modern variation
• Finish with palms to smooth flyaways and add shine
• Use cool air to set the style if needed

Maintaining Your Slick-Back All Day: Quick Fixes

Even the best-styled hair can lose its shape over time. If you notice your slick-back starting to fall flat or develop frizz, you can revive it without washing your hair. Simply dampen your hands with a little water and run them through your hair to reactivate the pomade. Then, re-comb the hair back into place. This reworkability is a major advantage of Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade—it allows you to refresh your style on the go.

For days when you need extra hold, consider pairing the pomade with a light hairspray. However, avoid using too much, as it can make your hair stiff and remove the natural movement. If you're planning a long day or an evening event, carry a small amount of pomade in your pocket for touch-ups. With these tips, your slick-back will stay sharp from morning to night.

• Dampen hands to reactivate the pomade for quick fixes
• Re-comb to restore the shape
• Use hairspray sparingly for extra hold
• Carry a small amount for touch-ups on the go
