" See? I tried it and got a ton of compliments on my style at work. What I&amp;#039;ve learned since taking the wet look for a test run: Rocking it in the dead of summer on a steamy day is actually kind of awesome. 1. You can wake up, jump in the shower, and forget about the dreaded 15 to 20 minutes where you blow-dry your hair with super hot air that makes you sweat instantly. 2. It&amp;#039;s the perfect style if you&amp;#039;re in a rush, yet still want an on-trend &amp;#039;do. 3. If your hair is already on the greasy side, you can do up your dirty mane and add some high-shine products to it, making the most of the fact that your hair already kind of looks like it&amp;#039;s wet (hello, day three or four of not washing it!). So how do you get this look exactly? &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s an easy trend to adopt, you just have to make sure to use a styling product that stays pliable and doesn&amp;#039;t flake,&amp;quot; says Sam Villa, education artistic director for Redken 5th Avenue and founder of the Sam Villa brand. If you want a super polished look, Villa recommends the following:  - First, smooth your towel dried hair with a boar bristle styling brush to eliminate any bumps.  - Next, warm a product like Redken Water Wax 03 Shine Defining Pomade in between your hands and distributing it evenly throughout your hair. - Then, style your strands into a ponytail (shown at Elie Saab below), chignon, or leave it all down.  - Finally, spritz it for added gloss with a shine mist.   For a more textured wet finish, he suggests these steps:  - First, towel dry your hair a bit. - Then, prep the Redken Tousle Whip 04 Soft Texturizing Cream-Wax in your hands to warm it before distributing evenly for definition and a matte-satin finish. - Lastly, style your hair into a French twist (seen at Nina Ricci), go for the half wet/half dry look (like the models wore at Rag &amp;amp;amp; Bone), or wear it all &amp;quot;wet&amp;quot; (just like we saw at Barbara Bui)\u2014all seen below.    So, Cosmo girls, will you be wearing the wet look this summer? Photo: Elisa Benson Follow Carly Cardellino on Facebook and Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
