Slick Back
Everything combed back — sharp and formal, exposes the whole forehead.
Medium-length hair on top combed straight back with pomade, sides short. It shows the full face, so it rewards a strong jaw (square and oval faces) and is less kind to a high forehead or a heart-shaped face. Needs product and straight or wavy hair that lies flat.
