How to Create Finger Waves

Today I'm going to be explaining how to do finger waves. This hair style became popular in the 1920’s with the Flappers. But it is still a style that is popular today.

STEP 1: Gather Your Tools

 Step one you should get the materials you need: comb, spray bottle, and any gel you're using. 

STEP 2: Part the Hair

Step two you want to get a straight part.

STEP 3: Apply Gel 

Step three you need to apply the gel and the water to keep it slick and staying in the direction it's supposed to.

STEP 4: Create First Wave

Start on one side of the head and start at the top near the part. You should hold the hair with your pointer finger and pull the hair around the tip of the finger into a “C” shape.

STEP 5: Create the Second Wave in the Other Direction 

Then you should flip your pointer finger in the opposite direction and pull the hair around the tip of the finger into a “C” shape. You are creating waves that look like a snake.

STEP 6: Continue Down One Side

You should continue from the part all the way to the neck.

STEP 7: Repeat on the Other Side

Follow steps 4-6 on the other side of the head. Start at the part on the opposite side of the head and continue down to the neck.
