How do you do a wet set hairstyle?

Answer 1

A wet set hairstyle involves the use of mechanical devices to shape the wet hair into the desired shape. Devices include wave clamps, clips, rollers, pins, and combs. Products also include gels and mousses. To perform a wet set, towel dry wet hair, comb in the styling agent, and section off the styling area. For waves that dry close to the head, use the finger waving technique, and clamp using wave clamps. For bouffant styles, use appropriate rollers in the pattern preferred. After the pattern has been achieved, net the hair with a strong net, and place under a bonnet type dryer. Thirty minutes to one hour later, according to the hair length, the hair will be dry and ready to be further styled. The dry hair will have the pattern "cooked" into the hair by the devices used. To loosen the hair and produce a natural effect, remove the devices and brush the dried hair to remove the excess styling aid. Combing the hair will further loosen the set until the desired effect is achieved. Spray with hairspray to keep the style in place.
