Wet hair trends are all the rage, and we're here to explain to you exactly how you can master the wet-hair trend to give your hair a wet look that shines with the luminosity you've been craving. The truth is that this look doesn't require many steps, but you have to use the right products to prevent your hair from becoming crunchy or dried out. 

Achieving Wet-Look Hair 

To get your hair to look sleek and wet, follow these four steps:

1. Get Your Hair Damp

First, it's time to get your hair damp. Your hair doesn't have to be soaking wet, but it does need to be damp enough to slick back. If you're just getting out of the shower, towel-dried hair is good enough for this step. Hair gel sticks best when your hair isn't dripping wet, so keep that in mind during the next step.

2. Get a Non-Sticky Hair Gel

Your next step is to use a non-sticky hair gel. Strong hold gels are best, especially since they may get watered down as you use them on wet hair. Using a good amount of the product, usually a quarter or two of product in your hairs, start rubbing it through your hair starting at your roots. For the sleekest looks, focus the product at the roots. For a wetter look, add more gel.

3. Comb Your Hair

You might think you need to leave your hair alone at this point, but you need to comb it back into position. Doing this will also help distribute the product nicely through the hair for an even look. 

4. Finalize the Look

Finally, you should spritz on your favorite glossing spray (and even better if this contains hairspray or has hold). If it doesn't have extra hold, use hairspray to finish off the style and keep it looking effortless.
