Thanks for the thoughts and replies on this. I will be trying a few of these to see what I can come up with.

In regard to the images by ice-boy, that is sort of what I am referring to, but not quite as pulled back along the hairline of the head, just "wet" hair. Those images look more like hair that has been slicked back or gone through after it was wet. If a character is under say a water spray, just getting out of the ocean, etc. then the hair just needs to be wet and not slick.

One thing I have found is you can get that wet look much better with the shorter hair figures/props than with long hair ones Most hair you buy has a lot of morphs and such built-in with makes the hair realistic. That is why I am trying to get hair like that to fall like in the morphs of the hair but be wet instead. I will try what others said here and see what I can come up with.

If anyone else would like to post results and how they set the nodes or modified the transmap that would be nice to see too. I have tried before and failed to achieve a good result, that is why I am trying to figure out how or if this can be done.
