One of the hottest beauty trends you should definitely try the wet look!
The “wet look” is just the effect of wet hair and it’s back for this season. This look helps hair to become more shiny and to adopt a sexy, yet elegant style. Recently we have seen it on several celebrities in red carpets or important events.
This hairstyle came back because a couple of years ago Kim Kardashian applied for an award showing off her hair as if she had just bathed, and from that moment on, it became the ‘it’ hairstyle that many want to have.
But we all ask ourselves: How can we achieve this? What are the basic steps? What can we do to make it look good all day? After a long investigation we gave ourselves the task of achieving this hairstyle and now we present you the step by step:
The impression of not having done your hair is far from reality. To get this look with a natural and professional finish, you must have your hair in perfect condition, with a good cut, and take care to do it, because it is not as easy as it seems. Take into account the following:
■ Wax and gel; the latter has to be made of water, so it can give a wetter look. Try to always opt for those free of alcohol, to hurt your hair.
■ Ironically, the first thing to do is to keep your hair dry (either with a hair dryer or a flat iron) and, especially those with long hair, you can apply a few drops of oil, to moisturize the ends.
■ Once your hair is prepared, apply a little gel to your fingertips and start spacing it out from the roots down to the desired height for the wet effect.
■ After applying the gel, a comb is used to distribute the product throughout the scalp, and a little pressure is applied on the head, to shape the hair as much as possible towards the base.
■ If the effect is “too wet”, the hand dryer can be used to counteract the product finish a little.
■ Apply a little spray, to finish; this way, it is guaranteed that the hairstyle will last for long hours.
Speaking of the haircut…
Anyone can wear this effect, no matter what type of hair color and texture they have. For those girls with long hair, it is best to wear it down, and the size of the gel is at ear level.
Those with a pixie cut should apply gel to all hair proportionally, and those with shoulder-length hair have several options: loose, in a bun, half up or ponytail. Additionally, this look is perfect for fighting frizz and unruly strands.
