Wet effect hair: the 5 best hairstyles to do at home

The wet effect hairstyles are one of the beauty trends that are most popular this season. It is a perfect option to get a sexy and trendy look. And the best of all is that this season anything goes: pigtails, loose hair, high buns … Our blogger and head hairdresser, Olga San Bartolomé, advises us and we teach you how to make the best wet hairstyles step by step.

High bun and wet sides

Curl the middle and ends a little with the iron, mark a part on the left side and reserve a piece of hair on the right side with a tweezers. Collect the hair in a high tail and apply a wet effect gel. Make the bun, holding it with hairpins, and leave it somewhat loose. Release the hair at the front and clip it back to the bun with a clip, leaving it somewhat hollow.

Back and wavy

Curl your hair with a curling iron, taking large locks so that the waves are barely noticeable. Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb and apply a little wax all over your hair. Wet the hair with your fingers and apply a strong hold gel, brushing all the hair back with your hands. The final touch? Do not comb it and dry it with a diffuser so that it hardens and does not move.

Ponytail with stripe in the middle

Apply a styling cream and dry the hair. Pick it up with a clamp high on the head and lower horizontal sections from ear to ear. With the iron vertically, take 3 cm wide strands and roll them over it from the roots. Slide the iron to the tip. Before you do the ponytail, run your fingers through your hair. If you roll the strands on the iron in different directions, you will achieve a more natural effect.

Bubble train with toupee

Apply a texturizing spray and blow-dry your hair. With a comb, lift the front and remove the sides. While you do, apply more spray to set it and acquire a wet effect. Simulating a short mane, make a low tail. And the bubbles? You just have to put a couple more rubber bands along the tail.

Back with straight hair

With wet hair, apply a thermal protector and blow dry - always avoid using heat tools without a protector! Then pass the iron, leaving the hair super polished. Crepe the top area a bit, apply hairspray and comb back. Apply strong hold gel on the sides and, at the end, diffuse all the hair so that it becomes textured and fixed. A trick? Mix a strong setting gel with hair serum for extra shine. This trick also works to reduce the hardening effect of the gel.
