Nailing the damp hair look

Don’t have time to blow-dry and straighten or curl your locks this morning? Discover our top 3 looks for damp hair which you can style in under 2 minutes! Perfect for busy mornings when you still want to look stylish and on-trend.

The twisted chignon. This option is one of the fastest looks you can create with damp hair. To start, de-tangle hair and gather at the rear of your head, securing into a ponytail with a hair tie. It’s totally up to you to choose the positioning! Next, twist your lengths around the base of your ponytail and secure with bobby pins. The best thing about your new chignon? Unravel your boho-bun at the end of your working day to reveal gorgeous waves.

Swept back locks. Brush your hair backwards towards the rear of your head with a fine tooth comb, smoothing down with gel where needed. To finish off the look, spray all over with a light layer of hairspray to ensure a long-lasting hold. Add an on-trend touch by tucking your hair behind your ears to open up your face. This hairstyle is ideal for re-creating a mermaid-esque siren look.

Wet-look lengths. This is one of Winter 2015’s hottest looks right now, especially on the haute-couture catwalk shows. This should be one of your go-to styles when you have no time to dry your damp locks. Get the look by applying a small amount of Fiber Gel throughout your lengths right down to the ends and leave loose. Finally, add some structure to your style by parting your hair to one side and set with a strong hold hairspray. Voila…what could be simpler?
