Whether they're at fashion week, going to a pilates class or grocery shopping, it seems like celebrities are always having a good hair day! We wish we could relate.

For months we've been trying to get that off-duty model, slicked-back hair look stars like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid regularly rep, but it seemed impossible to keep flyaways at bay without overwhelming our locks with an absurd amount of product. That was until our TikTok algorithm came in clutch once again with the answer: the Tancho Tique Stick!

In a now viral video, TikToker Arielle Lorre explains how Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner's hairstylist Irinel de León introduced her to the famous Tancho hair pomade, which the models use to achieve their flawless slicked-back hairdos.

Given the stick is sold out on Amazon and has a rather interesting smell, Arielle explains, "If you want the same effect, you can use the Tigi Bed Head Hair Stick. It works just as well and it doesn't smell." As you can imagine, we ordered the stick not even a minute after finishing her video.

Over the past few days, other creators have followed suit, sharing their tips and tricks for sleek hairstyles, many of which also champion the Tigi stick.

If you're feeling inspired to try the slicked-back hair trend, we rounded up the styling products you can use to make every day a good hair day!
