Everything You Need To Know About Wet Styling

Getting the right hairstyle takes time. It’s likely that you’ve looked at many different styles before selecting the one that truly appeals to you. You’ll then need t chat with your stylist to confirm that it will look right on your face. After this, you can experiment with doing the style yourself at home. It’s generally more complicated than at the stylist because you’re doing it yourself and you have limited time.

It’s that time restriction that may lead you to try wet styling.

What Is Wet Styling

As the name suggests, it simply means styling your hair when it is wet instead of damp. This may sound counter-productive as wet hair is heavier and you are more likely to stress your roots and cause damage. But, if you regularly use heat-styling tools on damp hair you’ll find that the tools dry the hair too fast and often cause it to be dull and brittle.

Choosing to wet style can actually increase the styling options available to you while decreasing the likelihood of damaging your hair, especially from heat.

It’s worth noting that your hair is generally more receptive to nutrients when you add them to wet hair. That’s why specialists such as Oz Hair & Beauty have dedicated ranges of wet styling products.

How To Wet Style

Once you have washed your hair you will need to wrap it temporarily in a microfibre towel. This will quickly absorb excess moisture, allowing you to work with your wet hair without the products simply dripping off.

You can then massage in styling products and nutrients to help strengthen your hair and keep it healthy.

Once you’re ready switch to your standard heat-styling tools but make sure you use them on a low-temperature setting. This will allow you to fix your desired style in place without damaging your hair.

Your hair will be dry faster than you expect and it should look like you’ve just stepped out of the salon!

There are several benefits to wet styling that you should know about:

Healthy Hair

Because your hair has absorbed additional nutrients and you have helped lock the hydration and nutrients into your hair, it will be healthier and look shinier. Wet styling makes it possible to have celebrity hair.

It’s Easy To Do

Styling wet hair is simpler than styling dry hair because you’ll find it is easy to manipulate your hair and create the style you want. The style can then be set into position with your heat-styling tools leaving you looking fantastic throughout the day.

Faster

Choosing to wet style means you can start styling as soon as you’ve washed it and dry at the same time. It can actually take half the time to style compared to drying it and then styling it.

Stays Hydrated

Your hair is mainly water and protein. Heat styling can remove the moisture but, styling when wet is better at locking the moisture in, keeping your hair hydrated and looking fantastic.
