How to Finger Wave Hair
Are you looking to do something different with your hair, but don't want to spend a great deal of money on a stylist? You can create new hairdos at home quickly and easily and you won't even need to purchase any special supplies. Finger waves are a great example of this type of hairstyle.
Finger waves can easily be created with nothing more than a comb and a styling product. This style can be created anytime and anywhere so you can look great under any circumstances. Try it today and you will be amazed at how easy it is.
- Determine where you would like the finger waves to begin. Lay your middle finger across the hair. Your finger should be flat. Take the comb and press it along the side of this finger. In sections approximately one-inch wide, drag the comb sideways along your finger. A ridge should form. Don't lift the comb while laying the ridge against the scalp.
- Press the index finger up against the middle finger to hold the ridge tight. Turn the comb back so the teeth are vertical. Comb the hair out and curve the hair back in the opposite direction. Move your middle finger so you can build the ridge to the size you want. When doing so, the ridge should move in one direction and a wave, in the shape of a C, should be seen in the opposite direction.
- Move down the hair approximately the width of one or two fingers. Make another ridge at this point, ensuring it is in the same direction as the previous curve. Do this the length of the hair.
- Allow hair to dry completely. Once the hair is dry, gently comb the waves. This will leave you with soft waves in hair that would otherwise be straight.
Try different sizes of curls. Do finger waves throughout the hair or in sections. The options are limited only by your imagination. Be sure to try a number of styles until you find the one that is just right for you.
