DIY: The Perfect Wet Look 

Creating a beautiful wet look may be a little trickier 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 a little edgy too. Follow these steps to achieve exactly that look.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1 – Preparation

To make sure your hair stays exactly how you want it, you first need to “prep” it. Do this by applying a generous amount of  mousse. This gives your hair body and texture.

Step 2 – Blow-dry

Blow-dry your hair back. This gets your hair going in the right direction and prevents you from creating too much volume. Make sure your hair is about 80% dry; otherwise, the styling products won’t work properly.

Step 3 – The right gel/wax

If you have fine hair, it’s best to use wax or  pomade for the wet-look effect. For thick hair,  gel is more suitable. In any case, choose a strong, long-lasting product to keep your hairstyle in place.

Step 4 – Applying the product

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

Step 5 – Style

Give your hair a quick blast with the blow-dryer, then comb it into your desired style. You can vary the look by combing your hair all the way back or, for example, creating a sleek part. Your comb can also make a difference: the wider the teeth, the more relaxed the look. If you’d rather have an edgy look than polished comb lines, 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 blend them into the rest of your wet look with  shine spray . This will make them look glossy and a little “wet” without weighing them down with gel. As the final step, apply  finishing spray so you can shine all day with your perfect hairdo!
