How to do finger waves

Posted by Louise On February - 4 - 2010
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.
