Wet look hair is having a moment. Over recent months, we’ve seen everyone from Kim Kardashian and Megan Fox to Love Island’s Maura Higgins step out with hair that looks just like they’ve had a deep in the sea or jogged down the street in the rain.
In a recent Instagram post, Maura turned heads as she looked FIRE, but her slicked back hair gained A LOT of attention. She simply captioned the snap, “Sheer garments & wet tresses @ohpolly.”
Many complimented Maura’s look, with one saying, “ Omg the body 😍😍 the hair 🔥❤️🙌"
Another commented, “ Giving me Kim Kardashian Met Gala vibes with first pic 😍"
Turns out, the Ann Summers ambassador used her favourite LUBE to get her wet-look hair and smooth and style her baby hairs. Yep, Maura’s hair stylist revealed on their Instagram story that they had used Ann Summers Candy Floss Lickable Lube (£8) to achieve the look.

There’s loads of wet look lube hairstyles all over Tik Tok, with many opting for the silky stuff instead of hair gel that can set quite hard in comparison.
Apparently, using lube doesn't damage the hair at all and lasts an extremely long time, which is why celeb hairstylists use it. It also isn't as greasy as say, coconut oil or some hair gels, which means you'll nail the 'wet look' without damaging your hair.
