Be-weave it or not, one of this year's strongest hair styles—looking like you just emerged from the pool like a Sports Illustrated model—didn't originate as a summer style trend. No, the slicked-back wet hair look first saw resurgence on Fashion Week runways, followed by awards season red carpets where it graced the mops of celebs like Nicki Minaj, Gigi Hadid and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Now, what better way to ring in the warm-weather season than to sport a look that's just as hot?
Here to get the mercury rising, pals and Nine Zero One Salon owners Riawna Capri and Nikki Lee show us how to master the sleek trend. Because even the backyard BBQ circuit should be hit in style.
In the video above, the celeb hairstylists—whose clients include Selena Gomez, Julianne Hough and Hilary Duff—break down the super-chic look using only three items: a spray wax, wax pomade and extra-strength hairspray.
On application, it may feel like a lot of product, but these items will keep every baby hair in its place—no pool dive required. An added bonus? Greasy, dirty hair plays—you're welcome.
