You need to wash your hair but those precious minutes you used to apply a conditioning treatment mean you don’t have time to style your hair.
Now I normally wouldn’t recommend going out with wet hair but sometimes there’s no other option.
That’s when you need some chic and easy hairstyles you can do in wet hair.
If you like to go the the gym in your lunch break, these hairstyles are also a fast way to get back to work in time.
Or in summer, when you’ve been swimming, these styles are simple enough to do poolside. All you need are a few bobby pins and maybe a hair elastic or two. You’ll be ready for sunset drinks before you know it.
Try my 7 easy hairstyle tutorials you can do in wet hair and let me know which is your favourite look.
1)WET HAIRSTYLE TUTORIAL - LOW TWIST & PIN BUNS:-
Hair Romance - Hairstyle tutorials for wet hair - the low twist bun
The low Twist & Pin buns are probably my favourite hairstyle for wet hair. This style smooths down the top half of my hair but leaves loose waves in the ends of my hair when it dries.
STEP-BY-STEP
-You’ll need: Bobby pins
-Comb your hair back and split it into three equal sections.
-Twist the middle section down and loop it around into a bun at the nape of your neck. Pin in place with bobby pins.
-Do the same with the right section, twisting it into a mini bun next to the first bun. Secure it with bobby pins. I like to weave a pin through both buns to make sure they stay in place.
-Twist the left section into a matching bun and pin it level with the other two buns.

2)WET HAIRSTYLE TUTORIAL – THE HIGH PONYTAIL:-
When your hair is wet, embrace sleek styles like this simple high ponytail. Just remember to do my trick to remove comb lines from your hair.
STEP-BY-STEP
-You’ll need: A strong hair elastic, or hair bungee
-Gather your hair high on the crown of your head.
-Use a comb to smooth your hair and get rid of any lumps and bumps.
-Then use your hand to smooth away the comb marks. Run your fingers or the side of your hand over -your hair to flatten any comb marks in your hair.
-Secure your ponytail with a strong hair elastic or wrap a hair bungee around to hold your ponytail in place.
3)WET HAIRSTYLE TUTORIAL – THE FISHTAIL PONYTAIL:-
Take your ponytail up a notch with this simple fishtail braid. And yes, I said simple! Fishtail braids look more complicated than they are to do.
STEP-BY-STEP
-You’ll need: A strong hair elastic, or hair bungee and a small clear hair elastic
-Put your hair in a high ponytail following the tutorial above.
-Split your ponytail in two. Hold one side in each hand and keep these separate as you braid.
-Cross a small section from the left to the right. Take a small piece of hair from the left side of the left ponytail and combine it with the right ponytail.
-Repeat on the right. Take a small piece of hair from the right side of the right ponytail and combine it with the left ponytail.
-Repeat this process all the way down the ponytails. Each time, cross a small piece of hair from one ponytail to the other side. As you move down the ponytail they cross over, forming the fishtail braid.
-Tie the end and stretch it out. Secure the end of your fishtail braid with a small, clear elastic. Gently pull at the sides of the braid to stretch it out. This makes your hair look thicker and fuller, and emphasises the shape of the braid.
4)WET HAIRSTYLE TUTORIAL – THE FISHTAIL BUN:-
I love the fishtail on its own, but if you work somewhere more corporate, you’ll love this bun version.
STEP-BY-STEP
-You’ll need: A strong hair elastic or hair bungee, a small clear hair elastic and bobby pins
-Place your hair in a high ponytail and fishtail braid as per my tutorials above.
-Stretch out the braid and make sure your ponytail is tight so that it won’t drop as your hair dries.
-Curve your braid around to form a bun. Make sure to tuck the ends underneath so that they don’t poke out of the finished bun.
-Pin in place with bobby pins.
I love how the fishtail creates more texture and interest than a regular bun. It also makes your hair dry with a nice wave when you take your hair down later. If you don’t have time to do the fishtail braid, a normal three-strand braid will also look great.
5)WET HAIRSTYLE TUTORIAL – THE SLEEK LOW BUN:-
The easiest chic style for wet hair is the classic low bun. Like the high ponytail, embrace the sleek when your hair is wet and smooth away all comb marks for this simple look.
STEP-BY-STEP
-You’ll need: A strong hair elastic, or hair bungee and bobby pins
-Comb your hair back and secure your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck.
-Twist your ponytail tightly and wrap it around to form a low bun.
-Tuck the ends of your hair under and pin in place with bobby pins.
-Smooth any bumps with your comb. Try not to leave big gaps like I did this time!
-Run your hand over any comb marks to flatten them out.
Similar to my first tutorial, the Low Twist & Pin Buns, this bun smooths the top of your hair but leaves a nice wave from the shoulders down. If your hair is thick you may find it takes a while to dry in this tightly twisted bun. That’s where the loose triple bun comes in.
6)WET HAIRSTYLE TUTORIAL – THE LOOSE TRIPLE BUN:-
My hair takes forever to dry in tight hairstyles so this loose triple bun is a great solution. It leaves messier waves in my hair when I take it down. I like to use a sea salt spray in dry hair to further texturise my hair to make it look more beachy.
STEP-BY-STEP
-You’ll need: Bobby pins
-Split your hair into three sections the top section is across your head above your ears and split the bottom sections in half down the middle of your head. Clip the top section out of the way for now.
-Twist the bottom left section up and around into a loose bun. Depending on how long your hair is, -you can fold your hair or make a figure-8 shape. Pin in place with bobby pins.
-Repeat on the bottom right section. Loosely twist your hair to create a bun and pin in place with bobby pins.
-Unclip the top section and loosely rake your fingers through your hair so that your hair isn’t flat against your head.
-Twist the top section loosely into a bun on top of the other buns and pin in place with bobby pins.
These loose buns are a perfect summer style as they encourage some curl but it doesn’t look too formal. It will also dry faster as it’s not flat against your head. If you take your hair down when it’s about 80% dry, you can twist your hair into smaller ringlets to help shape the curls at the ends of your hair.
7)WET HAIRSTYLE TUTORIAL – THE SIDE TWIST BUN:-
I like the shape this rope twist creates around your face. It will help to create some waves in your hair and you can make it as tight or loose as you like. Modify the side bun to suit your hair. You can keep it sleek and more formal, or just leave it messy.
STEP-BY-STEP
-You’ll need: A hair elastic and bobby pins
-Make a deep side part on the right and comb your hair over to the left.
-Start your rope twist at your part line. Take a 1-inch section of hair and twist it under a 1-inch section of hair from your hairline.
-Twist the sections together, then twist them under the next section of hair from your hairline.
-Keep adding in section of hair from your hairline and keep twisting your hair back away from your face.
-Once you have passed your ear, combine the twist with the rest of your hair to create a side ponytail.
-Twist your ponytail around to form a side bun. Keep this bun as neat or as messy as you like. Pin in place with bobby pins.
