Hilary Duff's hair has never looked better, and here's her exact wet-look recipe

Hearing that Hilary Duff is taking over 2026 off with not only new music but a whole tour truly is what dreams are made of. If you can't already tell, we've got to come clean (are you getting these?), because this Duff renaissance is something we've been wishing for since, well, forever. 

The group chat has been going absolutely feral over scoring tickets and what the set list will look like. But as beauty lovers, we've got other things on our mind too. 

Of course, we've already done a deep dive into her tour makeup aesthetic so far, which even relies on a few Aussie faves. But what about the music videos? Well, the Lizzie McGuire era headbands and butterfly clips have been retired and we're entering a new sultry era for Duff and it shows in her "Roommates" music video.

Duff's "Roommates" music video shakes off any last reminder of her Disney era (sorry Lizzie, we'll never actually forget you). Duff has literally never looked better, and with the inside rain giving a nod to nostalgic 2000s music videos, we're wondering what products — literal water aside — were used to create the damp but glossy and textured hair look these days.

Well, we've got good news and bad news. Good news is, Duff's talented hair stylist, Barb Thompson, has shared the exact product she used to get Duff's strands so gloriously glossy without looking entirely bedraggled. Bad news is, if you want to get your hands on the Glaze Hair Mirror Glaze Super Sleek Shine Spray ($29 from Glaze Hair), you'll be hit with a whopping $30 shipping fee. Yep, we're not here for it. But what we are here for is a few similar products that can get the sultry look sorted, without a massive shipping cost. Of course, we'll have nothing but the utmost respect for anyone who's determined to get Duff's exact product into their kits. More power to you.

We know that drenching your tresses in a glossy, shine-inducing product is a big ask. But that's exactly what Thompson did to create the perfectly-imperfect, 'you've just been rained on' wet-look. And these are the three alternatives to try for yourself.

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Hair Styling Spray ($58 from Sephora) is a celeb fave for a reason. The viral spray literally blocks humidity (um, a literal need) while giving your strands a glass-like finish. 

All you need to do is look at the KEVIN.MURPHY Shimmer Shine ($51.95 from Adore Beauty) bottle and you'll know that your glorious wet wave look will be undeniably shimmery.

ELEVEN Australia Make Me Shine Spray Gloss ($32.95 from Adore Beauty) is going to give your strands a smooth shine and if you happen to empty half the bottle trying to achieve the look, you might not feel it as much on your bank account. 

All that's left to do now is to rewatch Lizzie McGuire and practice our lyrics.
