Actress Elsa Pataky has it just right and Sam Villa, founder of the Sam Villa brand and education artistic director for Redken, explains how to achieve the effect.
“The wet look is such an easy trend to adopt, you just have to make sure to ouse a styling product that stays pliable and doesn’t flake,” says Villa.
