Finding hair styles that look good, are easy to achieve and that promise to last all day long – no matter what the temperature – feels like an impossible task. However, all is not lost, and if you’re familiar with the likes of Bella Hadid, Selena Gomez and beauty influencer Jess Hunt, you’ll know the answer lies in one very chic look: slicked back hair.

We’re talking sleek, shiny hair with minimum volume that stays put in both humidity and heat. And, let’s be honest, this is as easy as it gets. Whether it’s applying a cream to damp hair and giving it a simple blow dry, oiling your hair or using a gel or pomade at the final stage after washing to create a style that sweeps into a bun or just tucks behind ears, this is the exact style you’ll want to re-create, and when you’ve tried it once, you’ll never go back. Trust us.

As for the products to create the look, we’ve rounded up 11 of the best that’ll help tame flyaways and stick down hair when the weather is heating up.
