scrunching and getting the wet look


Question Posted Sunday March 11 2007, 10:20 pm

I have SUPER straight and thick hair. I have tried to scrunch it many times but that never did any good. So i put my wet hair up in a bun and sleep with it. It does get curly/wavy - ish but it never lasts. I put tons of hairspray but only the top part of my hair would stay scrunched, the bottom/inner part would be dead straight. So any products or tips that would make it scrunched the whole day and have the wet look? Thanks.

Yes, I see this question is almost a 2 months old... but I recently found a really good way to scrunch hair. Just like you, I have extremely straight hair and it never stayed scrunched, but this actually held for the whole day. I'm going to explain this the best way I can.

1. Right after your shower, towel dry your hair so that it's still wet but not dripping. Brush it.
2. Get gel (I use Dove) and just put a quarter size amount throughout your hair. (Don't over do it because you'll add more gel later)
3. Take a peice of your hair (Doesn't really matter how big, just not thick) and twist it so that it looks like the top of this girl's head but don't put your hair on your head, just hanging. (hope that makes sense) [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
4. Once you've dont that put it up onto your head with this kind of clip(s). [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
5. Repeat this with your whole head and feel free to add gel if you feel you NEED to.
6. Once all of it is on your head, take gel and just spread it over every peice.
7. After that, sleep with it in overnight, or if its the morning, leave it in for 10-20 minutes probably.
8. After you take it down, it will look bad, BUT DON'T WORRY! Take hairspray, gel, scruch spray, whatever you want and just put it in your hair, but once again don't over load cause it will make your hair hang low, causing it to straighten.
9. Now, shake out your hair to get it out of the little pipe curls.
10. Shaking probably won't be enough to get it to look scrunched, so break apart each piece with your hands.
11. Mess it up some more if needed, and you can also brush it VERY gently so it doesn't take them out, but seperates them.

Phew, Hope I helped and hope you understand! Good luck!


P.S. Aussie (purple can) has a scrunch spray that smells great and hold nicely.



When you twist it, you don't need to put an elastic on the end, but just make sure you put in on top of your head with the clip and it doesnt untwist completly.

The wet look is not old, I still do it, it works well for spring and summer. But do whatever hairstyle you feel like. I use Tresemme curl mousse and hair spray. It works wonders. Or use John Frieda's Curl around shampoo and conditioner. Hope this helps.

please stay away from the wet look. it is old and out of style. go to a hair salon or anywhere that sells redkin and pick up redkin fresh curls scrunching spray. it is in a tourquoise bottle and works all the time for me.
