"Wet hair look" tips?

[Matthewjc41]

Fellow Freaks,

I was wondering if anyone had any secrets on how to create/maintain the "wet hair" look? I've heard wet the hair and use real hair gel, but that seems to dry out (unless I'm using the wrong kind).

Are there any other "industry products" I could buy?

I really want to get the hair right for Aragorn & The Hound

Any tips would be appreciated

Iv'e found almost all hair dries out. Every customizer that works on joker for example, I have seen pics from collectors after having them for a year or so, and the hair almost always starts to dry out some

If you don't want to style it again in the future, you could try to use a glossy epoxy clear coat on top of the hair.

i really only had issues with the hound, used a hair spray, stayed wet long enough to style it and then dried but kept the wet look and its been that way ever sinceray:

Dax wax is great for styling and it lasts. Might have to put a lot in for a wet look. I'm going to try it on the Hound soon. But I used it on Boromir...

If you don't want to style it again, then a gloss medium from the art store would work. Acrylic or polyurethane gloss coat.

I used a light-hold mousse and some water to get this look.

Bringing back up an older thread to ask if anyone else would be willing to contribute methods of locking hair down?

The only method I have tried is floor polish. Works well wondering if there is better options.

I like the idea of using a clear gloss coat. Seems like that would hold over time quite well.

Thinking of buying some cheaper rooted sculpts to try these methods out.

Until then, I appreciate any help that is offered.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Probably makes a different result if you use a cheap syntetic hair head or some lamb fur hair
