An Easy Wet Hairdo That Will Leave You with Gorgeous Waves Later

We wish we could wake up early enough each morning to blow-dry and style our hair to perfection, but, honestly, most mornings we barely have time to brush our teeth before running out the door. Next time you’re strapped for time, try this super-quick twisted ’do that will turn wet hair into envious waves when you let it down at the end of the day. 

Step 1: Use your fingers to run a bit of styling cream, like Deva Curl’s Wave Maker, through wet hair from root to tip.

Step 2: Take a section of your hair (close to the hairline) and start twisting, keeping it tight and close to your head. Add more hair as you go, like you would with a French braid.

Step 3: Once you reach the base of your neck, secure your hair into a ponytail.

Step 4: Divide the ponytail into two equal parts and twist them in opposite directions.

Step 5: Get ready to twist again, this time wrapping the two ponytail sections tightly around one another before tying them off with a hair elastic. 

Go about your day with a sweet ’do, and then shake it out for perfect evening waves. For more hair inspiration, check out our Pinterest hair inspiration board.
