Slick hair is a hairstyle that involves flattening the hair against the head using a styling product, such as pomade, gel, or wax. While slick hairstyles can be achieved on any hair type, they are most commonly associated with short to medium-length hair.
Slick hairstyles have been popular for centuries, with variations of the style being seen in ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. In the early 1900s, slick hairstyles became popular among men in the United States, and they have remained a popular choice for men of all ages ever since.
