Thanks to TikTok (where we're learning everything these days), beauty journalist Laura Capon reminded the internet how easy it is to achieve the wet hair look just in time for summer. Before you get started, there are four items you'll need: a curling wand, a hairdryer, hair clips, and the holy grail: Color Wow's Pop & Lock Crystallite Shellac.
According to Allure, "A spray oil is key for any good wet look, as is Color Wow Pop & Lock Crystallite Shellac." To achieve Kim's iconic look, hairstylist Chris Appleton — who also happens to be Color Wow's Global Creative Director — "pulls [the product] through the ends to make them look piece-y," per the outlet. In a 2018 sit-down with the outlet, Appleton explained, "The key to the wave is actually the natural wave of the hair, so we just enhanced that."
He continued, "I just literally grabbed a few sections throughout the ends and wrapped it around a two-inch curling iron, and — I call it kissing the hair — so I just kiss the hair with the curling iron. Then it's all just about using the right product."
According to Capon's TikTok, Appleton now uses a two-prong curling iron, as well. Simply section off your hair, apply the Pop & Lock to each section, and curl your hair with the curling iron. Pro tip: run your fingers through it to make it a little messier, giving it a beach wave look.
