Slicked back hairstyles have haunted us in all the epic Hollywood movies, from Al Pacino’s iconic slick hair in The Godfather to Brad Pitt’s legendary slicked back style in The Fury. And while these timelessly chic looks deserve all the praise, we have something else to pique your interest. Check out these 20 stylish slick back fade hairstyles for inspiration and create your own style to become the leading lady of your own life!

Men who want to try a slick back haircut can expect to look more mature because of the confidence and sophistication that this haircut exudes. Accentuated by a sleek low fade, this style will look more voluminous and thick, especially if you lift your hair at the roots while combing it back.

This haircut masterfully combines a longer top with faded sides and nape that amplifies a voluminous comb over. A clean line incorporated into the look makes it more elegant and tasteful.
