When it comes to celebrity-approved red carpet hairstyles, few are as iconic as the sleek wet hair look. There’s something incredibly sultry about slicked-back hair paired with an elegant outfit that we can’t get enough of. While it might seem like a style reserved for professional hairstylists, achieving the wet hair look is far easier than you think. You just need to rely on a few key styling tricks and the right products to achieve that fresh-out-of-the-shower aesthetic. It’s time to turn your Pinterest beauty board into reality. Read on to discover how to achieve the perfect wet hair look.
To achieve the wet hair look, it’s no surprise that you actually want your hair to be wet. Start with freshly-showered hair that’s been deeply conditioned with hydrating formulas. Our cult favorite is the Moroccanoil shampoo, along with the accompanying conditioner. If your hair tends to dry quickly or you find yourself in a hot, humid environment, keep a spray bottle of water handy as you style.
The technique for achieving the wet hair look varies depending on your natural hair texture. For those with fine, straight hair, apply a gel from root to tip. For wavy to curly hair, prime with a generous amount of mousse or pomade to help maintain the wet hair look. Once prepped, thoroughly coat every strand with your chosen gel. Don’t be conservative; ensure each strand is coated. Finish with a bit of serum for added shine and set with a hairspray.
As far as hairstyles go, you’ll find the wet hair look to be incredibly easy to achieve!
