Finger waves are very popular at the moment especaliy if you are into the fashion of 1920s, 1930s hair styles and also the burlesque hair styles, it is a great way to wear your hair wether you are going out or just fancy a change.
If you are not sure of what finger waves look like a good way to see is to watch chicago and have a look at Renee Zellwiger’s hair style.
Here are some tips on how to do finger waves.
First thing you have to do is wash and towel dry your hair then add some styling products.
Now  you are ready to comd your hair into ridges and curves with your fingers.
All ways decide where you want to start the waves then lay youe middle finger flat across your hair now take your comb and press it against the side of your finger, now in one inch sections drag the comb making sure the teeth of your comb are straight down side ways along your fingers untill you have created a ridge.
Now with out lifting the comb lay it flat against the scalp.
Now you need to press your index finger next to youe middle finger, gently press the ridge you have just made to hold it tight.
Next you need to bring the comb teeth back to a vertical potision, using your comb again brushing your hair out and curve it back in the opposite direction than the last section.
As you do this make sure you move your middle finger down as you go, this will help you to contiue building the ridges, continue doing this as far as you can go.
At the end you should have a ridge of hair moving in one direction and a C shape wave in the opposite direction.
Continue doing this all over your head once you have done this alowe to dry ( i would let it dry naturly my self)
Once your hair is dry you can comb it out gently, this will leave you with soft waves.
Now that you are happy with your style all you need to do is hairspray all over for extra hold and i always like to put on shine spray for that extra healthy look.

Tips for your hair on your wedding day

Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your lift the one you have dreamed of since you were a little girl so it is only natural to want to look your very best.
So here are some tips to help your day go smoothly.

1) When you are planning you wedding make sure your hairstyle, make up and dress all go together as you would not like a conflict at the last minute.
Try not to wear too much make up and choose your colours carefully so that it matches your attire.

2) Always choose your head dress and veil if you are having one before you choose your hairstyle, this is because not all styles and head dresses or veils go together.

3) It is always a good idea to have a few practice go’s with your hair to make sure that you are fully happy with it and also to make sure the stylist can do exactly what you want.
Doing this will also show up all the flaws in your plan (if any), and this will put you at ease on the day.

4) When choosing your hair style always remember the style of your wedding dress so you can try to match the style.
Remember you can always add hair extensions and hair pieces which will give you volume, length and change you complete look.
This is your wedding day so put a bit more effort it to your style (you won’t have to do it everyday).

5) Taking good care of your hair (you should be doing this already) but if your hair is in bad condition you will need to start looking after it now, as it can take you to 6 months to get your hair back to its full condition.
If you have coloured hair and will be having it done for the wedding (you should have it done two weeks before the big day) make sure you well conditioned after every colour you have.

6) I would also have a final trim at about two week’s before the wedding day this will get rid off all your split end and it will give your hair time to settle down is well.

7) It is not best to wash your hair on the day of your wedding day or the night before it is best to wash it 24 hours before as these will give it time to settle down.

8) Always use products that you have use before as you will not want to get an allergic reaction on the day of your wedding.

Start by parting the hair in to four sections down the middle of the head and then from ear to ear making a cross.

Then with the two back sections you need to backcomb the roots and mid-lengths (do not backcomb to the tips of the hair as you will find it very hard to smooth over.

With the two top sections of the head you need to lightly backcomb them at the root this will give volume trying not to put to much round the front of the head as it will show.

Going back to the back sections of the head smoothing one side of the hair to the middle of the head and secure with grips.

Tip
Put grips in like a Chris cross affect this is so no hair can slide out and when you get to the top put one grip going down.

Then with the other side of the head smooth the hair back over to the middle of the head over lapping the section you have just done, rolling in the ends to tuck them in the middle to create a long bun then starting at the bottom of the head secure with grips to the top of head making sure they dont show.

With the top sections of the head start with one of the side smooth the hair to the back of the head with out flattering the hair to much add the hair to the back section securing with grips do same with other side,

Now with the top section you need to smooth and then blend in to the rest of the hair or you code make a curl making sure you still grip in to place.

Starting at the front of the head take a small triangle section then split in to three equal sections, holding one section in the left hand and two in the right hand.

With section 1 take over section 2 then bring section 3 over section 1, and then you have to bring section 2 back over section 3. At this stage you need to add a small section of hair from the left side of the head approximately the same width as the original sections. You then bring section 1 back over section 2 holding hair securely in y our left hand adding a small section of hair from the right side of the head. While at top of the head always bring sections up to the centre of the head .As you get to the back of the head, approximately inline with the ear, bring sections across to the middle of the head instead of up as the angle changes with the head. Once you reach the nape of the neck, start to add sections coming down. When you have reached the stage where you are passed the nape, carry on as if you were plaiting a normal plait.
