4 HAIRCUTS TO KNOW, STYLED WITH SLICK GORILLA

The name ‘Slick Gorilla’ is an oxymoron. Gorillas, with their raw power and presence, are anything but slick. But that's the genius of Ari and Ash Farbod, the brothers behind grooming brand Slick Gorilla, which has just launched on ASOS. The name champions wild individuality, embracing your inner strength and unapologetic confidence. Through its barber-backed haircare products, this brand proves that you need not tame your authenticity to look and feel your best. Scroll for four key hairstyles to know in 2026, and how to achieve them using Slick Gorilla's star products.

Oasis’ internet-breaking reunion is the likely cause for the Mod haircut revival – in the last year alone, droves of influencers have shown out in 60s-core: Chelsea Boots, biker jackets and the signature shaggy locks to match. It’s a purposely untamed, dishevelled look that relies on face-framing cuts and volume – so of course Slick Gorilla’s Hair Styling Powder is a must-have. Ruffle a small amount into your hands (a little goes a long way) and enjoy its matte-finish and texture enhancement. Oh, and it’ll keep your hair in place, too – so you can forgo hairspray altogether.

If you have type three or four hair, cornrows deserve a spot on your rotation this year. Not only are they fuss-free and convenient, but they also have a noughties charm beloved by icons like Ludacris and Snoop Dogg. Six or eight cornrows is all you need, and if your hair is on the longer side, you can tie your braids into a small ponytail at the back. Before braiding, use the Slick Gorilla Sea Salt Spray in your hair for some hydration and a body boost. You can also spritz a little onto your scalp in between washes – the aloe vera and seaweed extract included in the formula will ensure it’s taken care of.

Buzzcuts are a commitment – especially if you’re transitioning from a full head of hair. But if you’re ready to take the plunge into grunge territory, you’ll want Slick Gorilla’s Hair & Scalp Scrub on hand. Thanks to their short and spiky nature, buzzcuts need minimal grooming – but your scalp is a different story. This product is formulated with exfoliating sea salt to thoroughly cleanse the scalp and remove buildup, alongside sweet almond oil to hydrate and soften the skin. If you’re prone to scalp flakes or dandruff, you’ll feel the difference after every wash.

The low cut is universal – perfect for all hair types and occasions. For curly or kinky hair types, consider using a twisting sponge to get that fluffy effect. If you’ve got straight or wavy hair, you can add some more body and definition to your strands with a hair gel. Secure the style with the Slick Gorilla Hairspray. It provides a superior hold and protects your hair against humidity, which you’ll need when summer rolls around. And don’t worry, this product leaves no white cast – just a sleek, invisible finish.

Thought we were done? Skincare is Slick Gorilla’s latest offering – everyday, kind-to-skin products that promise to simplify and streamline your existing routine. They’re clean, clever and straight-talking – no complicated formulas around here. The Daily Face Wash promises to clarify, refresh and soothe your skin while tackling texture with salicylic acid. Work it into your skin with the face scrubber for a deeper cleanse. If actives aren’t your thing, follow it up with the Daily Moisturiser – it's infused with niacinamide to rebalance, hydrate and even skin tone.
