Seeking to try out a new hairstyle?
Wet-set hairstyles are the perfect way to switch up your look. With these styles, you can easily create different looks for any occasion. From pin curls to perm rod sets, there’s a wet set style that’s perfect for everyone.
Pin Curls
Getting pin curls in your hair can give you a totally glam look! Pin curls are a classic wet set hairstyle created by curling and setting the hair while it’s damp.
The technique involves rolling sections of wet hair around the finger to form coils, then securing each coil with bobby pins or clips until dry. Pin curls create beautiful waves, volume, and texture when done correctly.
To achieve this look, start out with freshly washed and conditioned hair that’s still slightly damp. Separate your hair into sections, and use a wide-toothed comb to detangle them before rolling them into pin curls.
Start at the nape and work up toward the crown for the best results. When finished, use hairspray to secure each curl in place as they dry, so they hold their shape all day long!
With careful styling and practice, you can master this timeless technique for an elegant style fit for any occasion.
Roller Set
Once the rollers are all in place, you can feel your hair being transformed into a beautiful style.
Divide the hair into sections and wet each one with water or setting lotion before rolling it on a hot roller. Starting at the nape, take small sections of hair and roll them away from your face. Secure with clips or pins if necessary, and repeat until all of the hair is rolled up.
When finished, allow time for the curls to set and cool before removing the rollers from your head. Once removed, you will have gorgeous soft waves that last through any occasion.
Flexi Rod Set
Transform your hair into voluminous curls with a Flexi Rod Set! With just some steps, you’ll have gorgeous waves that will add life to any look.
Before beginning, make sure your hair is wet and approximately 80-85% dry. You’ll need to use flexi rods (sometimes called velcro curlers) in varying sizes depending on the desired outcome.
Starting near the scalp, wrap one-inch sections of hair around each rod from root to end. After completing all sections of hair, allow it to air dry or blow-dry using cool air for best results.
The drying process can take anywhere from 45 minutes – 1 hour, depending on the thickness and length of your hair. Once complete, gently remove each rod and enjoy beautiful bouncy curls!
Straw Set
Achieve a soft, romantic look with a Straw Set! With this classic hairstyle, you can easily create beautiful waves that will last all day.
This style works best on natural hair types such as Type 4 (kinky) hair. To start the styling process, dampen your hair, then apply a styling product of your choice. Then use Velcro rollers to wrap small sections of your hair around each straw until it dries.
Once complete, remove the straws and enjoy having smooth, voluminous curls for days!
Additionally, avoid using too much heat or leaving the straws in for too long, as both can damage the integrity of your curls. With patience and practice, anyone can achieve gorgeous results with a straw set!
Twist Out Set
You can create stunningly voluminous curls with a Twist Out set that’ll make heads turn!
This easy-to-follow method will have your hair looking like a million bucks in no time. To achieve this look, you’ll need to start by prepping your hair with braids or braid outs.
Afterward, take each section of the braid and twist it outward in the same direction until you reach the end of the strand. Once all sections are complete, secure them at the ends using hot tools, velcro self-holding rollers, and/or crocheted curlers.
Then spritz each twisted section with water from a bottle to add moisture and shape. Allow your hair to dry overnight before removing any tools used to secure sections in place.
Once all hot tools and crocheted curlers are removed, you’ll be left with beautiful, defined curls that’ll stay put for days!
Bantu Knot Set
Give your curls an extra boost of definition with a Bantu Knot set that’ll have you looking fabulous!
To begin, part your damp hair into sections and apply a leave-in conditioner. Then, create individual two-strand twists throughout the whole head using bobby pins to hold them in place.
Once all twists are complete, start forming each twist into a knot around a mesh roller until your head is full of knots.
Finally, secure the ends of each knot with more bobby pins and allow your hair to dry overnight.
In the morning, you can remove the rollers to reveal coils full of definition and volume that will make anyone turn heads.
Perm Rod Set
With its bouncy curls and voluminous shape, it’s sure to turn heads.
Achieving this look is fairly easy. After washing your hair and conditioning it, apply the product for extra hold.
Then divide your hair into sections; each one should be no bigger than the perm rod you’re using. Take smaller sections for tighter curls and larger sections for looser curls.
Wrap each section around a perm rod and secure it with a rat tail comb or bobby pins. For added definition, use different curling methods, such as twist wrapping or braiding the section before rolling it onto the rods.
Finally, spritz each section with a bottle of water, then air dry overnight or sit under a hooded dryer for 30 minutes. When finished, remove rods gently and style as desired!
Braid Out Set
Gorgeously enhance your natural texture with a braid-out set that’ll leave you feeling fabulous!
To achieve this look, begin by washing your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Divide your hair into four sections and secure each section with a bobby pin. Create as many braids as desired in each section before lightly misting them all over with water. Once the hair is damp, apply a smoothing or styling cream before using a wet roller to curl each braid.
Allow the braids to dry completely before taking them out for maximum definition and hold of the style. Finally, use fingers or an afro pick to loosen up the curls for even more volume and texture.
Curlformers Set
Get ready to flaunt your curls with a former curl set that’ll leave you feeling like a million bucks! With its soft, springy ringlets and bounce, it’s sure to make a statement.
The Curlformers set is an easy-to-use and time-saving method of curling your hair without the damage that comes with traditional styling methods. This unique curl method uses velcro rollers which are attached to flexible plastic rods. These are then rolled up into brush strokes all over the head and then secured in place using an adjustable bottle cap or clip.
Your curls will be voluminous and bouncy with minimal frizz – perfect for making a statement!
Twist and Curl Set
Another type of wet set hairstyle is the twist and curl set. This style employs velcro rollers to create curls, giving off a bouncy, voluminous look.
To begin the process, you’ll need to part your hair into several sections. Then take each section and braid it tightly. Once braided, wrap the braid around a velcro roller, securing its tips with a pin or elastic band for added hold.
After that, use a blow dryer on high heat to ensure that the style sets properly. When done correctly, this style can last up to two weeks!
The twist and curl set is sure to get people’s attention as its unique texture creates beautiful waves that will turn heads wherever you go!
