Do you really suit that slick-back pony?

Do you really suit that slick-back pony? Probably not. Just kidding, slick-back hairstyles are timeless. They help enhance your bone structure and give you a more masculine, powerful aura. But slicked-back hairstyles don’t look the same on everyone. If you’ve got an oval face shape you are bound to suit a slicked-back hairstyle, but if you have a round face shape then it is important to note that you will not look identical to someone with an oval face shape wearing the hairstyle. This also depends on your face structure. For example, Bella Hadid is renowned for her slick-back hairstyles. Bella has very defined facial features so when she wears her hair slicked back, she looks gorgeous and very authoritative, meanwhile, Gigi Hadid has a round face with softer features, so a slick back hairstyle looks different on the two. The hairstyle helps define Bella’s high cheekbones and Gigi’s round cheeks. Even though both women have different face shapes, they look beautiful with a styled slick-back hairdo.

I used to be absolutely terrified of wearing my hair slicked back, I didn’t think I had the right face shape for it. Everyone around me at work and university wore slicked-back buns and I always thought that since I didn’t have a prominent jawline or a skinny face, it wouldn’t suit me. After a while, I realised that no matter your face shape, you can look great in any hairstyle you want to wear, confidence is key. If you don’t care what other people think about you, they will stop thinking about you.
