Updated versions of throwback classics are the hair trends poised to take over 2019. And while ’90s-inspired accessories, sleek lobs and half-up, half-down styles are relatively easy to pull off, the wet hair look isn’t as cut-and-dry. According to one pro, it’s going to take a little patience and a whole of oil. But thankfully, you won’t have to stick your head under a faucet and drench those strands to get it done.
As it turns out, what you need to do is create the illusion of wet hair. Not only does this eliminate the need for drying time; it also means you’re less likely to get sick in the winter. “The trick to a wet look is not water—it’s oil! I like to use a lightweight oil like the NatureLab. TOKYO Perfect Smooth Oil to give the hair that wet appearance,” celeb hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimmons told us. “You’ll have to layer on a lot more product than you’d use for a typical style… without making the hair greasy!”
The benefit of an oil is that it also delivers a smoothing effect and plenty of hydration so your hair doesn’t return to a dry state before the day ends. Of course, you could always elevate the wet effect by mixing water with the oil, but if you must, we recommend lightly spritzing it on little by little so you avoid stringy strands. In the meantime, here are a handful of top-rated oils to use when you want to try on this celebrity favorite.
