Tips for the sleekest wet hair look

There are many ways and product combinations for you to create this look with, but there are a few rules to follow for making sure the hair does not look flat or greasy.

First, even though the look you are trying to achieve is “wet”, that does not mean the hair should be dripping. Towel dry the hair before applying any product, so that it’s damp. This will also make sure that the style holds for longer, as damp hair absorbs product quicker. Apply your products in small amounts, adding more if it’s needed. Run a wide-tooth comb through the hair to make sure the strands are equally coated with product.
For extra-shine finish off the look by applying a generous amount of shine spray, like Shine Define.
