The wet hair look is a style that makes you look like you just got out of the shower. The advantage of this style is that it looks easy to match with various hair types, from curly to thin hair, so it looks neater. Creating the look of wet hair requires a little effort using products like hair oil or pomade before styling. By choosing products that match your hair, your appearance will look fresh all day long.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Styling Hair with Foam or Gel
Step 1. Apply shampoo and conditioner
Creating a sleek and damp look is the first step to getting a wet hairstyle. The shampoo will clean the dirt on the scalp, while the conditioner will smooth the surface. You can use whatever shampoo or conditioner you have in the bathroom.
Step 2. Pat hair until it is almost dry
Touch a towel to your head to remove the liquid. In order for the foam and hair gel to stick perfectly, the hair must look damp. Hair shouldn't be too wet, but don't blow dry.
To get rid of excess fluid, try gently squeezing your hair with a towel and then removing it
Step 3. Drop a small amount of styling foam onto your finger
to create the look of wet hair, you may need to use a bit more lather. However, you should use it little by little. Start taking a piece of foam the size of a green pea. You can add it if necessary. If you use too much, your hair will look stiff and greasy, and difficult to get back into shape.
You can also use hair gel
Step 4. Massage the styling foam on the head
Your finger is the best tool for leveling the product. Use your fingers to spread the foam all the way to the roots of your hair. If it's hard, try using a comb. When finished, the foam will coat the entire hair section.
Step 5. Style the hair with a comb and fingers
Run a comb or fingers through the hair to shape it as desired. Use a comb if you want a cleaner and neater look. Use your fingers for a softer, less stiff look. Hair styling products provide a variety of options to look cool. So, choose the most suitable style. This will make your hair look voluminous and wet, regardless of the style you want.
For example, you can use your fingers to ruffle your hair for a slightly messy look
Method 2 of 3: Using Pomade or Hair Wax
Step 1. Dry hair thoroughly
Washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner is an important step. Unlike gels and foams, hair must be dry before you apply pomade. However, you can also wear it again throughout the day if needed. Use a hairdryer for extra volume.
Step 2. Coat your fingers lightly with pomade
You can dip three fingers in the pomade to pick it up. Remember, use only a little! Too much pomade will make your hair look limp and wet. To avoid this look, limit yourself and add enough pomade.
You can also use hair wax (wax). How to use it the same as pomade. Even if they don't create a "wet" and shiny look, hair wax is very effective at controlling unruly hair. Also, hair wax is more difficult to remove than pomade
Step 3. Smooth the pomade onto the hair with your fingers
Instead of using a comb, use your fingers as a comb. Run your fingers through your hair. You can layer your hair thinly, but make sure the layers are even. Pomade does not need to be applied to the roots of the hair.
Step 4. Comb your hair to style it
Styling your hair with just your fingers usually makes your hair look messy and greasy. Use a comb to smooth out large areas of hair. Use a comb to straighten your hair and smooth the pomade all the way to the roots. You can comb your hair into a parting, comb it back, or ruffle it slightly at the top.
Step 5. Use your fingers to shape the hair
Use your fingers to style your hair to make it look cooler. Instead of creating a wet look, try to comb it up and back. You can use a brush or comb to smooth the hair before lowering it. This is a powerful way to create the appearance of more voluminous hair or pompadour hair.
Step 6. Reapply pomade throughout the day as needed
Bringing a small pomade container can help. If your hair is starting to look messy, use pomade again to fix it. Pomade is usually used three times a day.
To make your hair more durable, spray styling products after applying pomade. This method can usually hold the hair until the night
Method 3 of 3: Choosing Hair Styling Products
Step 1. Use pomade to comb thick hair back
Pomade is a great product for creating a wet look because it doesn't make hair less stiff. Pomade will maintain the shape of the hair so it is suitable for the look of slicked back hair or when making a pompadour. Don't use too much so your hair doesn't look greasy.
- Pomade is suitable for slicking back combed hair, whether thin or thick, and is great for styling pompadour.
- Most pomades are oil based. You can find water-based products that are easier to wash and can give your hair extra volume.
Step 2. Use hair wax to hold the hair short
Hair wax is very effective at holding short hair or creating a wake-up look. Waxes don't make hair shiny like pomade. The material is softer and more natural, but more difficult to clean. Look for high-quality hair wax to avoid this problem.
You can now find waxed pomades that combine the best of both pomades and hair wax
Step 3. Choose a gel for easier application
Gel is the best hair styling product. Because it is water based, this product will make your hair look wet and neat. The gel can be used for any wet hairstyle. However, some types of gel can make hair look hard. To style your hair, you'll need to use a lot more than wax or pomade.
Gels have varying resistances, such as low hold for thin hair and strong hold for thick hair
Step 4. Use a styling cream to hold in messy hair
The cream will detangle hair that other products can't style. The main benefit of this product is that it moisturizes the hair so it is suitable for changing curls to look wet. The result is also more natural than pomade, but sometimes less tough to withstand slicked back hairstyles or other similar styles.
Step 5. Make thin hair appear thicker with foam
Hair styling foam is suitable for all hair types. This product is able to hold the shape of your hair longer if you want to look different, for example with a slicked back hairstyle or a slightly messy hairstyle. This product is also the best option for thin hair because it can give volume. Hair foam is very easy to apply and can give a pomade-like shine.
- Hair foam is perfect for men with thick hair who want to look a bit messy like a rock star.
- Quality hair foam is usually more expensive than other products, and isn't as harsh as gels or waxes.
Step 6. Hold hair with styling spray
Get a non-aerosol hairspray if you want a stiff, wet look. If you have thick, messy pompadour hair, spray on styling product before going outside. Hold the bottle away from your head and spray it through your hair for a few seconds. This method will keep your hair in good shape all day long.
- Hair spray is designed to treat all hair types. Use this product as a complement to the hair styling products you already use.
- The non-aerosol spray is suitable for wet hairstyles. Aerosols will turn sticky when exposed to liquid.
