The wet-hairstyle look is beautiful. So if you are looking for a hairstyle that can give you that beautiful and elegant look you want to achieve, try the wet-look hairstyle. This hairstyle is also quite easy to make, so you don’t have to worry about spending too much time trying to make it.
- Saturate your curly wig with water
If you want to get the perfect wet-look hairstyle, your curly wig must be damp but not dripping wet. That’s because if your hair is dripping wet, the hair gel you are going to use may not stick perfectly. And if the gel does not adhere to the wig’s strands, you will not be able to get a perfect wet-look hairstyle. So make sure that you air dry your wig if it is dripping wet until it is damp.
- Detangle the knots
Curly wigs are more prone to tangling. So you need to detangle them regularly. The best way to do that is to use a wide-tooth comb to comb your wig. This type of comb is known to reduce breakage. Start detangling from the ends as you move upwards. This can prevent breakage
- Choose the right gel
Choosing the right gel is also crucial if you want to end up with a perfect wet-look hairstyle. There are so many gels in the market today, so it can be quite difficult to know which one to go for. However, the rule of the thumb is to choose a non-sticky, hair shine hair gel. It will help keep the wig locked in place. The amount of gel you need depends on the length and density of your curly wig and its texture as well. However, be sure not to add too much gel to your wig as it can lead to clumps. The wig should be coated but not to an extent that it sticks too much.
- Apply gel to your curly wig
Now that you have the right gel, it’s time to start applying it to your curly wig. As mentioned already, do not apply too much gel to your curly wig. Start applying the gel from the roots and the lengths. To get the perfect look, focus more on the roots. You can use your palm to see how it feels.
- Comb your hair
Once you are comfortable with how your curly wig feels after applying the gel, the next step is to comb it. There are plenty of combs and hairbrushes you can use to style your curly wig depending on the look you want to achieve. For instance, you can use a fine-tooth comb if you want to create a more relaxed appearance. And if you prefer a perfected, sleek look, a boar bristle brush is the best option. Start combing your hair from the root to the ends.
- Spritz on a glossing spray
Once the roots of your curly wig have a nice glossy finish, you now need to focus on the rest of your wig. You can use a glossing spray to make the roots and ends of your wig blend. Even though you want to work gel through the wig, adding wet-looking shine from a glossing spray will ensure that the wig isn’t too heavy and that you get that perfect wet-look hairstyle.
