Clippered Pushback Haircut

Towel dry hair. Apply a lightweight cream or leave-in conditioner that enhances curls and prevents frizz. Be sure to evenly distribute the product from roots to ends, especially on the top. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to accentuate your curls. Let hair air dry, or use a blow dryer and diffuser on low heat to enhance natural curl volume. Finish with a light oil or serum to add shine and control frizz.

Towel dry hair. Take a small amount of light pomade, cream, or gel and work it through the hair from roots to tips, focusing on the top. When styling, use a comb for a sleek look, or your fingers for a more casual, textured style. Alternatively, you can blow dry your hair with medium heat to add volume and hold, using a round brush for extra lift if desired. For a longer-lasting hold, finish with a light mist of hairspray. Tips: For a slick look, keep hair flat. For a textured style, use less product and more volume.

Towel dry hair. Apply a lightweight cream or mousse that enhances your waves’ texture without weighing them down. Be sure to evenly distribute the product from roots to ends, especially on top.

Finish with a light mist of hairspray.
