The post-gym hairdo that used to plague ladies in the past is now a cutting-edge fashion trend. The slicked-back look has taken off among several big-name celebrities.
The best part? It doesn’t take hundreds of dollars worth of product to pull off – all you need is a good workout sweat and you’ll be dominating the red carpet in no time.
The Craze That Celebrities Are Obsessed With
While messy gym hair has been around for years, celebrities have just started to take notice of it. Recently, stars such as Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Rihanna have taken to the stage sporting the fresh-from-the-pool hairstyle.
The style gained attention on the runway at Balmain’s Spring in 2015 and has only risen in popularity since. In fact, high-profile fashion magazines like “Vogue” predict that this new hairdo will become the next hot trend – and, unlike the more expensive fads of yesteryear, it’s something every woman can pull off.
Surprisingly Easy To Pull Off
According to several fashion experts (and any woman who has worked out before), this style is a breeze to do. “This is a very sexy, easy to do, off the face look,” says Michael Forrey, creative director of Sassoon Salon New York Downtown.
All you have to do is wet your hands, then run your fingers through your hair. This dampens your locks and gives them the straightened-out look that is become a worldwide craze.
A Versatile Hairstyle
In addition to its practicality, this hairstyle is also extremely versatile. For a more sleek look, Forrey says to “simply use your hands to apply the product to the roots of your hair.” For a more natural look, dry it out.
Regardless of your fashion quirks, this hairstyle is practical, accommodating, and the next big thing. If you want to be the belle of the ball AND a beast at the gym, this is the look for you.
