these products are my favorites to use for any variation of a slick back! slick backs can be damaging to your hair so i made sure to add some hydrating products i like to use when i do slick backs!
i have thicker and longer hair so these hair ties actually hold my hair up! i only need one of these for a slick back where i’d need two of regular sized hair ties!
