Preparing your hair for wet hair styling
1. Apply a hair mask and detangle
After you wash your hair, put on a hair mask and detangle. I’m using a brush specifically for detangling and styling hair when wet. It detangles nicely and reduces breakage.
2. Dry briefly in a microfiber towel
After you rinse, wrap your hair into a microfiber towel and let it sit for 10 minutes so it can absorb extra moisture. A microfiber towel prevents frizz.
3. Detangle again
Then detangle again. I start from the tips of my hair and work my way up to the root to make it easier when I brush from the roots to the ends.
Wet hairstyle 1: three-strand braid with a twist
1. Section
Put your hair half up to create the first section.
Then, split the bottom half into two sections on either side of the head.
2. Cross the outside sections over the middle section
Cross the two outside sections over the middle section so that one crosses over the other.
Then, repeat, but this time cross under the middle section.
3. Braid down
Do a regular three-strand braid all the way down. A three-strand braid is created by crossing alternating outside sections over the middle. Tie off with a hair tie.
Here’s the finished hairstyle! A three-strand braid is always a great hairstyle for wet hair, and this time I decided to switch it up a bit.
Wet hairstyle 2: French braided bun
1. Braid your hair down
Put your hair into a ponytail. Divide the ponytail into three sections, and then do a regular three-strand braid all the way down. Tie off with a clear elastic or hair tie.
2. Roll the braid up and secure
Starting at the bottom, roll the braid up and over itself until it reaches the nape of the neck. You can watch the video from 2:55 to see how I do this.
Flatten with the palm of your hand and use a french pin to secure it.
I love french pins because you can do so many cool things with them - like this bun! This bun is super cute and perfect if you’re looking for an easy hairstyle for wet hair.

Wet hairstyle 3: rope braid bun
1. Section
Start at the top and divide your hair into two, small sections.
2. Cross sections
Cross the front section over the back section.
3. Add hair to both sections
Add hair into both sections, ensuring that there aren’t any tangles in either of the sections.
4. Repeat
Repeat steps 2-3 until you get to the bottom of your hair. This is called a rope braid.
5. Twist the remaining hair
Split the remaining hair into two sections and twist them around each other. You shouldn’t need to add any more hair, as all of the hair should be combined into these two sections.
You can watch the video from 3:50 to see how to do this.
6. Wrap the hair into a bun
Wrap the twisted hair around itself to create a bun. You can secure however you like - with a french pin or a hair tie.
Here’s the finished look. This is super adorable and I absolutely love how it looks.
Wet hairstyle 4: pull-through braid
1. Create a side pony and section
Create a side ponytail, and then part your hair into two equal sections.
2. Create a hole in the top section
Taking the top section, go about two or three inches down and tie it off with a hair tie.
Then, put your fingers through the hair to open it up and create a hole.
3. Pull the bottom section through the hole
Grab the bottom section of hair and pull it all the way through the hair. The bottom section now becomes the top section.
4. Repeat
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you run out of hair. It should create a semblance of a braid. Then secure with a hair tie.
5. Adjust the braid
Feel free to pinch and pull at the braid to fluff it out and make it appear bigger to your liking.
This look is kind of a pull-through braid and I love it because of how different it is from a normal braid.

I loved this tutorial. I will try it with my hair as I’m always looking for ways to put my hair up after washing. I need the brush and microfiber towel though. Thanks
