  Wash your hair. Comb it into the slicked-back look you are going for while it's still wet. If you choose to go without a part, pull the comb through the hair from the forehead to the back of the head, so it is all facing in one direction. If you opt for a part, part your hair and comb the hair away from the part, towards the back of your head. Let the hair air-dry.
