How To Get Perfect Wet Hair Look

What You Will Need:

A wide-toothed comb;

Hair gel;

Hair Cream;

Glossing spray;

Hairspray;

Step 1: Start With Damp Hair

Many people may think you have to start with soaking wet hair for this style, but that’s not the case. In order to get the right wet hair look, you actually have to start with damp hair not wet hair. After all, the key to getting a wet texture is to hold the hair in place while it is actually semi-dry. And wet hair will not absorb the products you use to create styling and hold.

If you just wash your hair, please firstly dry it with a towel. For wavy, curly, or frizzy hair, it would be better to use a T-shirt or a microfiber towel to bold out moisture and prevent frizz.

Step 2: Opt For Proper Hair Gel And Hair Cream

Hair gel and hair cream can give you the ultimate hold and body texture. When you combine them, they can keep your hair in place all day or longer time and make your hair look touchable, shiny, and healthy. Of course, nothing is better than to opt for some non-sticky, high shine hair gels.

Step 3: Apply Hair Gel To Your Hair

When it comes to the wet hair look, don’t skimp out on applying some products. Just mix a quarter-sized amount of hair gel and hair cream in the palm of your hand and start from the roots to comb into hair strands. In addition, you can add more to enhance the wet hair look. Now keep this point in your mind: the more hair gel and hair cream you add, the wetter your hair will look.

If you have short hair, please work the mix between the hair gel and hair cream through from roots to ends to keep your hair smoothed down against your scalp.

If you have medium to long hair, you had better mainly focus on your roots and mid-length hair to maintain body texture and mimic the way your hair naturally dries from the roots up after a swim.

If you have fine or straight hair, you could easily add some hair gel and hair cream to maintain volume, especially at your roots.

If you have curly, wavy, or frizzy hair, using more hair gel and hair cream all over will help maintain curls and avoid drying.

Step 4: Comb Your Hair Back

Depending on the look you are going for, you can use a variety of combs and hairbrushes to design your hair.

For a smoother look, consider opting for a fine-tooth comb to smooth out the baby hair and roots. Once you have applied a generous amount of hair gel, take the comb and work it through your hair from root to end.

While for a more natural and beach vibe, you can take a wide-toothed brush to comb hair away from your face and outline the waves.

You can also use a boar bristle brush for a sculpted look, whose soft bristles can help smooth your hair and evenly distribute the hair gel and hair cream without any bumps.

Step 5: Spritz On Glossing Spray

Hold the bottle 6-8 inches away from your hair and spray it evenly throughout all your hair, avoiding the roots. Make the bottom of your locks blend with the top by using glossing spray to add more shine and make your hair look wetter than it really is.

Step 6: Keep Hair In Place With Hair Spray

As with any hairstyle (wet ones included), mist your head lightly with hairspray before the previous products dry fully, helping to hold everything together. More importantly, you can lightly blow dry your hair to set the style even further or leave it be for a more relaxed, undone vibe.

Once the hair is dry, simply run a wide-toothed comb through it to finish the dry look.
