The look in one line

Everything combed straight back with wet-look gel, comb lines showing.

Steps

  1. Towel-dry your hair so it is damp, not wet.
  2. Rub a walnut-sized amount of wet-look gel between your palms.
  3. Work it in from the roots to the ends.
  4. Comb everything straight back from the forehead in one pass.
  5. Leave it to dry without touching it.
  6. If pieces lift as it dries, add a little more gel and comb them back.
