Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Prepare the Hair Extensions:
If your extensions are not already applied, clip or secure them into your natural hair following the recommended method (tape-ins, clip-ins, sew-ins, etc.).
2. Dampen the Hair:
Use a spray bottle to lightly dampen the hair extensions. This step helps the styling product distribute more evenly.
3. Apply Styling Product:
Take a small amount of the wet-look gel or wax and apply it evenly through the hair. Start at the roots and work your way down to the tips.
Ensure that the product is distributed evenly, so the wet look is consistent throughout.
4. Comb Through:
Use a comb or brush to evenly distribute the styling product and detangle the hair. This step helps to achieve a sleek appearance.
5. Define Sections:
If you have multiple wefts of extensions, consider defining sections for a more controlled application of the wet-look product.
6. Sculpt the Style:
With the styling product in place, use your hands to sculpt and shape the hair into your desired style. Smooth the hair down for a sleek appearance.
7. Extra Gloss (Optional):
For an added glossy effect, you can use a separate shine spray or serum. Apply it sparingly for a polished finish.
8. Let it Set:
Allow the styling product to set for a few minutes to achieve the desired wet look. Avoid excessive touching to maintain the style.
9. Final Touches:
Make any final adjustments and ensure that the wet look is consistent throughout the hair extensions.
Tips:
Less is More: Start with a small amount of product and gradually add more if needed. Too much product can weigh down the hair.
Choose the Right Product: Opt for a styling gel or wax specifically designed for a wet look with a strong hold.
Maintenance: Be aware that the wet look may not last all day, especially in humid conditions. Keep a small amount of styling product on hand for touch-ups.
By following these steps, you can achieve a sleek and trendy wet look with your hair extensions, adding a touch of glamour to your hairstyle.
