Finger waves are a glamorous, vintage look that works for most hair types. Even black or African-American hair, which can often be dry and hard to manage, lends itself well to this type of style. Finger waves make your hair appear as if it has been curled without the use of any heated styling tools, which is very important if you happen to have coarse hair that is easily damaged. As the name implies, you will use only your fingers and a comb to achieve this timeless hairstyle.
Instructions
1. Wash and condition your hair, using a rinse-out conditioner. Squeeze the excess water out of your hair, and do not blow dry it.
2. Coat the surface of your damp hair completely--but not heavily--with styling gel or pomade. Keep your hair damp; if needed, periodically add water to moisten your hair or thin the gel or pomade just a bit. Use a fine-toothed comb to work the gel or pomade through your hair.
3. Comb your hair straight down against your scalp. Hold your index finger and middle fingers together and place them against your scalp, next to your part or where you have created a part. Comb only the top layer of hair--the one just beneath your fingers--backward, and comb the rest straight down again.
4. Move your fingers over slightly so they are gently on top of the first finished wave. Hold the hair down and comb the top layer of the hair--the one below your fingers-- forward. In other words, the opposite of what you did before. Move your fingers so they rest atop this new wave and continue finger-waving all of your hair.
