The easiest cool-girl hairstyle to try

Only got five minutes? This is the style for you.

InStyle Contributor / June 21 2017

Finding the minutes to create an immaculate hairstyle every day of the week is just not feasible for most of us. That’s why every girl needs a few quick and easy hairstyles in her repertoire that will have her looking done in no time at all. Slicked-back strands is one of those hairstyles. TRESemmé’s ambassador for NYFW Chris Naselli was backstage at the Jason Wu S/S ’17 show and tells us how to recreate this sleek hairstyle, which will be your new mid-week go-to.

Prep

“Work a dollop of TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Mousse through the hair and blow-dry with a round brush to encourage natural body,” recommends Naselli.

Tong

Take a curling tong and create natural bends through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Remember to spritz with a heat protectant, like Davroe Thermaprotect before you begin.

Slick back

Then, mist a “generous amount of hairspray all over and use a wide-tooth comb to [slick] the hair back to achieve a wet look. Angle the comb to a slight side part, which adds extra detail and lift at the roots.” Try Matrix Total Results High Amplify Hairspray.
