Although it’s not a new trend, the wet look hairstyle has become a classic and periodically comes back into the spotlight. We’re currently in one of those periods, with hair that looks almost wet appearing both on the red carpet and in street style or designer shows.
The most recent star to adopt this look is Lily Collins, who just began the tour promoting the 4th season of Emily In Paris.
This particular look is popular for many reasons: it’s chic yet sexy, works with any hair length, and doesn’t require much effort or skill to achieve. One of its advantages is that it can even be done on unwashed hair—in fact, it often looks better that way, saving you from any bad hair day.
There are also many different variations of the look, as the hair can be pulled up, left down, parted, or styled sleek back, making it suitable for countless occasions.
To achieve it, you’ll need two essential styling products: a gel for strong hold and a wet effect, and a hairspray to lock the look in place, adding extra shine.
