The wet look is one of those hairstyles that always gives a modern and stylish appearance. Whether you have a party, a dinner, or just feel like a sleeker look: this style is a good choice. The shiny effect provides a luxurious finish and the great thing is that it suits all hair types and lengths. Moreover, it’s easy to create yourself without spending hours in front of the mirror.

 

What do you need for a wet look?

For a classic wet look, you don’t need much. A strong gel or wax forms the base and a shine spray the look is complete. Does your spray not provide enough hold? Then use a hairspray to keep everything neatly in place. With a brush or comb you can style your hair slicked back.

 

This is how you create the wet look step by step

You can create this style on damp or dry hair.

• Damp hair: this gives the most intense shine effect. Distribute gel or wax through your hair, comb it slicked back, and let it air dry or use a hairdryer. Finish with shine spray or hairspray.
  
  
• Dry hair: want a subtler result? Then apply some gel, oil, or just shine spray. Comb your hair back and fix with hairspray for a polished finish.

 

How much time does it take to create a wet look?

Styling this look is surprisingly quick. On average, it takes five to ten minutes, depending on the length and thickness of your hair. Convenient if you have little time but still want a neat and modern appearance. Also ideal to hide a bad hair day and still look trendy.

 

Tips to keep your wet look looking great longer

Want your wet look to stay firm and shiny all day? Start with clean hair and use a strong gel or wax that suits your hair well. Fix the style with hairspray and avoid applying too much. This way, the sleek effect remains clearly visible.

 

Wet look for men

Men can easily wear this look too. Start with clean, slightly damp hair and distribute a small amount of gel or wax with your fingertips. Style it slicked back or to the side, depending on your preference. With a bit of hairspray, the look stays neat and shiny all day.

 

With the wet look, you’re always on point

Whether you choose a sleek version or a subtler finish: with the wet look you give your hair a stylish upgrade in just a few minutes. It’s easy, versatile, and suitable for any time of the day.
