For several seasons now, the wet look or “wet effect” has been making its mark on fashion shows and red carpets. To play the mermaid on the beach or during a party, we help you find inspiration with these 3 hairstyles that are super easy to achieve.
Slicked back lengths, slicked back or sideways, the wet look continues to be adopted by celebrities. Ideal in summer for its both practical and sexy side. Exit the simple ponytail, this year, make way for originality. You will see, the “wet effect” is easier to reproduce than it looks. Above all, it is suitable for all hair types and lengths. Practical, we tell you!
A plated and twisted bun
The safest of sure bets: the bun. Whether high and fuzzy in romantic mode or accessorized with a scarf for the bohemian effect. This summer 2023, place at sleek bun, worn by many celebrities, including Emilie Ratajkowski and Kendall Jenner. We love the sophisticated wet look, yet ultra-easy to achieve, of this chignon flattened at the bottom of the neck. The advantage of this twisted bun: once the hair is dry, you can detach it to obtain wavy hair.
How to do ?
Detangle your hair. Gather your hair at the back of your head and tie a ponytail. It’s up to you to see the height that suits you so that the final bun is low but does not hinder your movements. Then twist your lengths on themselves before wrapping them around the attachment point and securing them with pins. For an even more elegant look, part in the middle or on the side. In the evening, simply add a little gel to keep the effect smooth and wet.
Wavy and glamorous hair
Highlight your beach waves, naturally shaped by sea salt, leaving your lengths free. But to prevent the evening breeze from coming to nullify your efforts and pushing you to take the first rubber band to tie them, twist your hairstyle with this wet look inspiration.
How to do ?
On towel-dried hair, part on the side. Then, come and flatten the wick from the front on your forehead, giving it the shape of a wave. For this you will need gel or foam. Take a generous nut and apply the product by impregnating your hair well. Choose a product specially adapted for the wet look, rather than a classic gel which will leave a much less glamorous cardboard effect. Feel free to apply more until you get the desired effect. Also moisten your lengths with a sea salt spray which will accentuate the beach waves effect. In the evening, you can add a little thermal water to keep the wet effect

Wet look on short hair
We particularly like the rock & glam’ effect of the wet look on a short haircut. Ideal for a chic evening.
How to do ?
Wring your hair well before untangling it. Using a comb and a bit of gel or wax, slick your hair back. For a more worked look, make a parting on the side or accessorize the cut with barrettes. Finally, set with natural effect hairspray. We also advise you to spray it in your hand, then apply it with your finger, for a more controlled and less cardboard finish.
And we don’t forget… the accessories!
Whether wet or dry, if there is one trend that persists this summer 2023, it is hair accessories. Headband, crab clip, scarf or silk scrunchie, vintage is back in style. We bring style to his ponytail by tying a scarf. We put a headband to structure her wavy hair. Or break up your jeans/white t-shirt look with an XXL scrunchie… In short, the hair accessory is a major asset to bring a touch of sophistication to our holiday outfits.
