As evidenced on countless red carpets, the popular way to do the wet hair trend was to wear it as a long style with textured ends, sorta like a wet and wavy effect. It is time for the wet and sleek low bun to get its shine—literally! Read on as we give you the inside scoop behind nailing this look at home.
The Wet and Sleek Low Bun: How to Get This Fashion Week Runway Style
To achieve this wet and sleek low bun look, it’s not about how wet your hair is, but it’s more about the product you use. If you are using a gel that dries up after being applied, this isn’t the right product for this style. There are two important steps to nailing this look: layering on a shine-inducing product, and mastering the art of a sleek bun.
How to Get the Look
TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum is our go-to product for creating this look. You can also use a shine spray, like Bed Head by TIGI Headrush Shine Hairspray, to finish your look and skip the serum, or you can use both; the more shine, the merrier! Start by brushing clean and detangled hair back with a boar-bristled brush to encourage a smooth base, then apply your serum. After one coat, layer on another, and then another until you get the amount of shine that suits you.
Create the Bun
When creating your bun, focus on creating a neat coil before wrapping your hair around. Brush your hair ends, apply a few drops of serum and twirl your hair until you create the perfect rope twist. Wrap your coiled hair around the base of your bun, then secure with hair pins. Once you’re done, pull your bun to stretch and create a fuller effect. Finish the look off with your TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Texture Hold Level 1, and that’s all there is to it! Editor’s tip: If you have short hair, you can fake the look. Gather your hair back as if you’re creating a low ponytail and pin your hair in place with French pins.
