DIY: The Perfect Wet Look 

Creating a great wet look might be a little harder than you think. After all, you don’t want to look like you haven’t washed your hair in weeks. No, a perfect wet look is chic, classy, and even a little edgy. Follow these steps to achieve exactly that look.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 – Preparation

To make sure your hair actually stays the way you want it to, you’ll need to “prep” it first. You do this by applying a generous amountof mousse to your hair. This gives your hair body and texture.

Step 2 – Blow-drying

Blow-dry your hair backward. This way, your hair will already be somewhat in the right direction, and you’ll avoid creating too much volume. Make sure your hair is about 80% dry; otherwise, the styling products won’t hold well.

Step 3 – The Right Gel/Wax

If you have thin hair, it’s bestto usea wax orpomade to achieve the wet-look effect; for thick hair, agelismoresuitable. In any case, choose a strong, long-lasting product so your hairstyle stays in place.

Step 4 – The Distribution

Apply the wax or gel to your hair, starting at the roots. Comb your hair thoroughly with a wide-tooth comb so that the gel also reaches the back of your head and a little way down the lengths. The more gel you use, the wetter your hair will look. To make the gel a little more fluid, youcouldmix it with somehair oil.

Step 5 – The Model

Point the hair dryer at your hair for a moment, then comb it into the style you want. You can mix things up by combing your hair all the way back or, for example, parting it neatly. You can also make a difference with your comb—the wider the teeth, the more casual the look will be. If you don’t want sleek, polished lines but prefer a rugged look, you can simply style your hair with your fingers.

Step 6 – The finishing touch

Since you’ve applied very little gel to the lengths and ends, it’s a good idea to use ashine spray to blend theminwith the rest of your wet look. That way, they’ll still look shiny and a little “wet” without weighing them down with gel. As a final step,applyafinishing spray so you can shine all day long with your perfect hairstyle!
