wet look

Gelled hair style

Wet look describes a shiny, sleek appearance as if slicked with water or oil.

In fashion and beauty, it refers to hair styled with heavy gel or pomade for a glossy finish, or to fabrics and finishes with a liquid-like sheen: She went for the wet look with her hair slicked back.

The style suggests glamour or edginess.
