The slicked-back hair trend : style statement or threat to hair health ?

Why slick your hair back?

The slicked-back look has been trending for several seasons now. Chic and elegant, this style is just as popular on red carpets as it is in street style. It instantly turns any haircut into a polished, structured hairstyle. It highlights your facial features, draws attention to the eyes or cheekbones, and keeps your hair fully out of your face. It’s also a clever way to tame flyaways or disguise a bad hair day in seconds.

This trend is loved for its versatility too. From high buns that give a natural lifting effect to sleek low ponytails or sculpted baby hairs, there are so many ways to make it your own. It's a style that lets you tap into fashion codes and still get a sophisticated finish at home—no stylist needed.

The sleek hair aesthetic: a viral trend

Slicked styles are taking over runways, music videos, Instagram feeds, and sidewalks. From low ponytails to sculpted buns and perfectly laid baby hairs, this glossy, clean, ultra-controlled look is everywhere. It tames frizz, shapes the face, and keeps your hair looking sharp in any situation.

But while the result is stunning, this trend isn’t entirely risk-free. Tension, breakage, hair loss… what’s really behind this beauty move? And more importantly, is there a cleaner, gentler way to rock the look without damaging your hair?

Spoiler alert: yes. It’s called Ultra Fix Jelly by Energie Fruit.

Style without damage? The hidden side of the slick hair trend

A glam effect… but aggressive daily habits

To get that smooth, slick finish, many people turn to classic styling gels full of alcohol, silicones, or synthetic polymers. They apply them generously, brush firmly, tighten everything with elastics—and repeat the process daily.

The result? Over time, this routine can seriously harm your scalp and hair health.

Traction alopecia : a silent threat

Constantly pulling hair back tightly puts stress on the hair follicles. This tension can lead to traction alopecia—a type of hair loss, especially around the temples and hairline. If you don't change your habits in time, it can become irreversible.

Breakage and dehydration of the hair fiber

Conventional styling products with harsh ingredients can dry out the hair, making it brittle and prone to breakage. Think split ends, dullness, and loss of volume. Daily slicking with the wrong formulas weakens all hair types—whether straight, wavy, curly, or coily.

Residue and a suffocated scalp

Gels loaded with silicones or synthetic resins often leave a film that blocks the scalp from breathing. This can cause itchiness, flaking, and irritation—not to mention the white residue that dulls the overall result.

Ultra Fix Jelly by Energie Fruit : the clean fix that respects your hair

Thankfully, you can rock a super sleek style without compromising your hair. Energie Fruit has created Ultra Fix Jelly, a styling gel that combines hold, gentleness, and natural ingredients.

A clean and hydrating formula

  • No silicone, no alcohol, no residue

  • Enriched with organic aloe vera for hold, hydration, and protection

  • Contains plant-based glycerin to boost moisture and prevent stiffness

  • Made in France, vegan, and suitable for all hair types

Ultra Fix Jelly is the first natural styling jelly designed to sculpt sleek looks without damaging your hair. Its lightweight texture won’t weigh you down or leave hair feeling sticky. It respects the fiber and leaves a fresh feeling at the roots.

Pro results, zero side effects

  • 24-hour hold without touch-ups

  • No white residue at the end of the day

  • No stiff or crunchy finish—hair stays soft

  • Helps tame baby hairs and control frizz

  • Perfect for slick buns, braids, low chignons, and more

Unlike traditional gels, Ultra Fix Jelly doesn't suffocate your scalp or damage your strands. Better yet—it works like a fixing treatment that styles while caring for your hair.

How to use Ultra Fix Jelly ?

Scoop a small amount of jelly with your fingertips.
Apply directly to the areas you want to slick down (roots, baby hairs, lengths).
Smooth with a soft brush or fine-tooth comb.
Secure with a gentle elastic if needed—no need to overdo it.
At the end of the day, rinse off any residue with clean water.

Thanks to its light texture, the jelly can be used daily without buildup or irritation. For extra shine, add a few drops of nourishing oil to the lengths.

Conscious styling: the trend that lasts

As clean beauty grows, habits are shifting. More and more people are looking for products that are both effective and kind to their health—and that includes haircare. What we apply daily to our scalp has a real impact: on shine, growth, comfort, and overall hair appearance.

Choosing a natural, silicone-free, gentle gel like Ultra Fix Jelly by Energie Fruit means embracing style without compromising your hair health.

The slick hair trend? Yes… but not at any cost

Let’s be clear: slicked-back hair is iconic—but only when done right. Say goodbye to drying gels, white residue, and painful tight styles. With Ultra Fix Jelly, you can achieve a sleek, shiny, styled finish and nourish your hair at the same time.

Own your style without sacrificing your hair. Because the best beauty trends are the ones that make you feel good—inside and out.
