Create Cute Hairstyles with Wet Hair

Just emerging from the pool or beach doesn’t have to mean that your hair resembles a creature from the sea. You can look great while your hair dries by whipping it into a fashionable style in only a few minutes. You may need a few items such as hair ties and bobby pins, but within minutes of surfing the waves, you can look like a beach princess.

Steps

Prepare Hair for Styling

  1. Brush through wet hair. If necessary, get out the detangler to achieve a smooth finish. You could also use leave on conditioner on wet hair as well.
  2. Arm yourself with necessary supplies. This includes elastic hair ties, bobby pins, clips, hair gel and hair spray.

Create a Chain Link Style

  1. Pile top portion of the hair on top of the head and secure with a clip. Allow the back half to dangle downward.
  2. Divide the back portion of the hair in half and twist into two individual pig tails.
  3. Tie pigtails into a knot by the base of the neck and then continue to knot the hair into loose knotted braids. Secure with a small hair tie at the bottom.
  4. Wrap knotted braids into a bun by swirling the braid around your finger at the base of the neck. Pin bun into place.
  5. Remove the clip holding the rest of your hair on the top of your head and divide off one section of hair on each side, toward your face. Pin those sections off for later use.
  6. Knot and braid the middle back section of your hair, making loose knotted braids. Pin to the existing knotted braid.
  7. Remove the clip from one side of the pinned hair and create another knotted braid. Pull the side back to the braid and pin in place. Repeat this step with the other side.

Create the Side Fishtail with a Twist

  1. Create an extreme side part on one side of your head. Brush out the remaining pieces of hair so your hair is slick and straight (as possible).
  2. Perform a two-part twist with the front part of your hair. Twist and turn until you reach your ear. Keep the other side slicked back.
  3. Pull hair into two main sections on the side of your head and begin the fishtail braid using the two sections. Twist each section to manage the braid.
  4. Continue the fishtail braid until you reach the end and secure with a small hair tie.
  5. Reveal the fishtail braid by loosening the sides of the braid with two fingers. Be careful not to completely pull the braid apart.

Design the “Half Up, Half Down” Hairstyle

  1. Brush wet hair completely back. Include your bangs if you have them and brush out the sides and ends well.
  2. Comb a four-inch section of your hair from the top of your head backward and secure with a bobby pin.
  3. Brush a small section from the left side of your head over the center. Be sure you brush this out well so it’s smooth and held tightly to the middle. Secure with bobby pins.
  4. Brush a small section from the right side of your head over the center and secure with a bobby pin. Repeat this process (left side hair brushed over the center; right side hair brushed over the center) at least once or twice. You will want to create a crisscross effect.
  5. Secure overlapped layers with colorful bobby pins. The pins will be more for decorative and reinforcement so go for something cute.
  6. Finished.

Tips

  • If you are styling your hair after being in a swimming pool, consider showering or rinsing your hair before styling to remove harmful or harsh chlorine chemicals.
  • For an evening look when creating the fishtail, tuck the long braid up underneath itself and secure with bobby pins.
