3 Cute Ways to Style Wet Hair

When Lady Gaga performed on the Today show in a cloud of rain, it got us thinking: hair can be hard to style in heat and humidity, but what about when it's downright drenched from the ocean or random thunderstorms? We looked for the simplest and most stylish ways to style wet hair.

A low bun: Possibly the easiest style that can get you beachy waves when hair dries (spritzing hair with a product like Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray helps). Rake hair back with fingertips to the nape of neck into a makeshift ponytail. Twist hair until it starts coiling around itself, wind into a bun, and secure with bobby pins.

A side braid: Part your hair on the side, then sweep the hair from below your ears to one side of your head. Starting at the nape of the neck, braid the hair loosely, leaving an inch of two at the end free. Secure with a clear elastic or, for something a bit more fun, a colored ribbon. (We loved this look at Alexander Wang and when Diane Kruger wore it.)

The no-style style: So simple you've probably skipped over it. With a wide-tooth comb, brush through hair. Part it either in the center or to the side, and tuck neatly behind your ears. To make it look more polished, try a silk headband or use a scarf as a headband.
