If there's a 2010 hairstyle that screams attitude in 2010 it's slicked hair. Perfect for the younger set, there are three slicked hairstyles to try out in 2010.

The Slicked Back

Slicked back with gel, with fingers or a wide toothed comb providing the texture, 2010's slicked back hairstyle mixes hair slicked back across the top of the head with textured length. Though we've seen a dry, heavily brushed texturing for the length, avoid it and stick to a wet look as seen on Alexander Wang and Thakoon's Spring 2010 catwalks.

The Slicked Side

The perfect alternative to 2009's half-shaved head hairstyle, the side slick is the strongest of the three slicked hairstyle trends for 2010. All attitude, it marries an overall wet and tousled look with a side part.

• Style it in much the same vein as 2010's braided hair trend, with a wide braid and a side swept fringe, for maximum effect.
• If braided hair is not your thing, experiment. What's great with the side slicked hairstyle is that it can be worn with a plethora of haircuts, be they short or long.
