Deep Side-Parted Gamine Wave Pixie with Sleek Back

Step-by-Step Guide

This boyish yet sophisticated vintage cut pairs a sleek, slicked-back profile with a single prominent retro wave accentuating the deep side parting. Establish a crisp side part running from the front hairline back to the crown. On the larger side of the part, comb a broad finger wave directly along the parting line, securing the dip with a long flat clip. Comb the remaining sides and back hair strictly backward and down, smoothing the hair flat against the scalp using a firm pomade. Trim the nape in a straight horizontal line to enhance the neat geometry. Once the front wave sets dry, remove the clip to reveal a sharp, sculpted wave accent resting over a smooth background.
