Wet look hairstyle for 2012

One can’t help but think of a wet look hairstyle as decidedly modern. Take any style – no matter how classic or vintage – and alter it slightly to look as if it’s just stepped straight out of the shower, and all of a sudden it has a newfound effortlessness. That’s what’s at the core of wet hair as a style in 2012.

Slicked back top / half wet, half dry
This style can work for any length of hair from short (e.g. chin length) to very long. The hair is kept out and slicked back, but while the crown has a wet look, the rest of the hair is left dry.
