Wet Look Waves
Waves finished with heavy gel or oil so the hair reads soaked through: high shine, dense separation, no fluff at all.

The gloss comes from product left in rather than dried out, which weighs the wave down and makes it hang in defined, slightly separated pieces. Roots are usually combed back flat so the shine starts at the scalp and the whole head reads as one wet surface. It is a finish rather than a cut and works over almost any waved shape, but the product has to be genuinely heavy, since a mousse dries too soft to hold the look.
- Suitsoval, square, round face shapes. Flat roots keep bulk off the cheekbone and the weighted wave hangs below the jaw, which is the one place a round or square outline can carry width.
- Hair typefine, medium density, straight, wavy. Fine hair benefits most, since the weight of the gel groups strands together and makes the hair look denser than it actually is.
- UpkeepTrim roughly every eleven weeks, and wash the gel out the same night with a clarifying shampoo, or buildup dulls the shine the next time you set it.
- Ask forAsk for a wavy shape with a clean perimeter, then say you finish it wet-look, so the ends need to be blunt enough not to look stringy under gel.
