The Style for On the Go!

Sometimes we’re all running a little late and life can get a bit hectic. Whether you’re racing to work and class or just overwhelmed with your schedule, we understand the added struggle getting ready can be. Nothing ruins your day quicker than having no time to manage greasy, dirty or frizzy hair. Trust us when we say, we've all been there.

Here at The Edge, we've seen how the slick-back ponytail has completely taken over the beauty industry! It continues to be one of the trendiest styles for any night out. Giving the finishing touch, with its sleek and “clean” aesthetic that stays throughout the night.

We are here for it! But we see it as something else… 

The everyday style for on-the-go!

The slick-back ponytail can be one of the quickest styles to achieve. Not to mention it works for all hair types with endless possibilities to elevate the style itself. Braid, bun, straight or curls you will look effortlessly put-together, even when you're crunched for time. This functional style works best with greasy hair and will eliminate any frizz by getting the hair off of your face, which is perfect for when you haven't washed your hair in days.

Our Slick-Back Must-Haves:

Styling Cream: Any styling cream would be a great alternative to gel or hairspray when styling your hair. Not only will it be easier to remove, but it doesn't cause the hard-cast uncomfortable feeling that most gel and hair sprays do. It's an easy way to get your hair as slick as possible while eliminating any frizz and adding shine. One of the most popular is the Dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream $30

Hair Wax stick: After the ponytail or slick-back is up, wax sticks are the perfect thing that will smooth and tame any leftover frizz or flyaways. These are cost-efficient.

Rat tail comb: With the rat-tail comb it will allow you to achieve a smooth and perfect part regardless of where it is.

Boar Bristle Brush: A coarse bristle brush will sleek your hair with ease smoothing any bumps. 

Softer Hair ties: A softer type of hair tie or rubber band for this style will not only be less damaging to the hair but allow for easier use when securely putting up the hair. Regular hair ties tend to be harsher, potentially causing breakage. A thicker, more seamless option is much better.
