Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Start with Clean Hair

Begin by washing your hair with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. This will help ensure your hair is clean, smooth, and well-prepped for styling. Rinse thoroughly and towel-dry your hair gently, leaving it slightly damp.

2. Choose Your Style

Decide on the type of wet hair look you want to achieve. Common styles include slicked-back, wet waves, and loose tousled wet hair. Your chosen style will determine the specific products and techniques you’ll use.

3. Apply Styling Product

Depending on your chosen style, select the appropriate styling product:

• For a sleek, slicked-back look: Apply a strong-hold hair gel or pomade evenly through your damp hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Use a comb to distribute the product evenly and create a smooth, slick finish.
• For wet waves or loose texture: Use a volumizing mousse or styling cream to add texture and hold. Apply it evenly throughout your hair, scrunching or twisting sections for the desired effect.

4. Part Your Hair (Optional)

If your chosen style requires a specific part (middle or side part), use a comb to create a clean and precise parting line.

5. Style Your Hair

Now, it’s time to style your wet hair according to your chosen look:

• For a slicked-back style, use a comb to smooth your hair back and create a polished finish. You can secure it with a hair elastic or hairpins if needed.
• For wet waves or tousled texture, use your fingers to scrunch, twist, or tousle your hair to create the desired waves or texture. Allow your hair to air dry or use a diffuser attachment on a hair dryer for added volume and definition.

6. Add Shine (Optional)

If you want to enhance the wet look and add extra shine, apply a small amount of hair oil or serum to the ends of your hair, avoiding the roots.

7.Set Your Style

To ensure your wet hair styling lasts throughout the day or evening, consider using a lightweight, flexible-hold hairspray to set the style in place.

Final Touches

Check your hair in a mirror to ensure your wet hair styling is even and polished. Make any necessary adjustments to achieve your desired look.
