Get the wet hair look without water

- SEP 16, 2016 FRIDAY

The summer months are coming and now is the best time to use your hair as an accessory for any outfit. It works best when you are too lazy to do anything. You can either blame it on the heat or the plain lethargy. Achieving the perfect wet hair look can be hard, whether it’s slick back and straight or natural beach waves that let’s be real…are so hard to get naturally. Most of us are guilty of the shampoo, conditioner, wet bun approach to get some wet waves going on but BN experts have some tips to keep that look in place for longer (and it’s a lot simpler than you think.)

The OGX Strength & Body + Bamboo Fiber-Full Thickening crème is the first step to getting that utterly flawless wet-hair look. The crème gives each strand of your hair silkiness, made from bamboo fibres and soy proteins that give your hair body and fullness.

How to use it:

1. Shampoo and condition your hair as per usual, then towel dry your hair. Do not worry if it is still damp, that is fine.

2. Take some out into the middle of your palm and evenly massage into the ends of your hair, avoiding the roots as your hair will become oily faster.

3. Let it air-dry for extra-volume.

Surf Spray is made out of saltwater-based ingredients that help give your hair a volumised and textured finish. The spray can add texture to even the most damaged and finest of hairs, so do not worry too much about it affecting your hair quality. It contains seaweed extracts and magnesium sulfate which smoothens and makes those luscious glow.

How to use it:

1. After washing, dry hair properly, then spray evenly on hair

2. Style with comb/brush and voila!

Using the Elastin Flex Control spray will give your hair the ultimate hold, even if your hair is straight and does not allow waves to hold for more than 60 seconds! This spray is reliable to hold your perfect and precious curls.

How to use it:

1. Spray onto dry hair ends evenly, and also apply to roots for more strength and flexibility.

2. Optimal Styling tip: Use Bumble & Bumble City Swept Secret finish spray for extra hold and definition.

Now that you have your best beach waves locked in, add in your Lynx Clean Cut Look Wet Shine Spray Gel for that wet finish. It is ideal to use this before the control spray and Surf Spray, as having too much product in your hair will make your hair brittle and fine. These are only recommended products to use by our beauty experts, try not to use all 5 products all at once. However, if you want to make a combination out of the fibre oil, surf spray and then finish with the Lynx spray gel, that will be ideal for the wet hair/beach waves look.

If you do not want to have beach waves and just want silky, wet hair try the bamboo fiber oil and then spray on the Lynx Wet Shine spray gel. This will give your hair the glow you always wanted.
