Creating hairstyles with curls were common in the 1930s.
Nowadays it's perfectly acceptable for a woman to jump out of the shower, give her hair a quick towel dry and go on her way. This is a far cry from the 1930s when hairstyles were elaborate, distinct and took time to create, like fine works of art. The 1930s were a reaction to the more androgynous hairstyles of the 1920s and far more feminine and delicate. A soft, graceful finger wave style is one of the iconic hairdos of the 1930s.
Instructions
Finger Wave Technique
1. Wash and condition your hair with products for your hair type. Towel dry your hair. Work a gel or curl setting pomade evenly through your hair from roots to ends.
2. Part your hair backward and downward or part your hair off to one side. Place the teeth of a rat tail comb firmly over a front section of hair at the crown.
3. Pull a small section of hair forward with your comb, creating a slight wave pattern, and secure this in place using a bobby pin. Repeat this move with the entire section of hair until you shape the entire section into a wave pattern. Continue shaping waves in this exact manner until you cover your whole head.
4. Curl the ends of your finger waves inward, securing them in place with dabs of gel. Locate stray tendrils around your cheeks and forehead and curl them into small curls secured along the sides of your face with tiny dabs of gel.
5. Wrap your hair in a satin scarf and blow dry your hair over medium heat until completely dry. Depending on your hair, it may take up to 30 minutes to dry. Once dry, mist your hair with an anti-frizz holding spray to keep it looking fresh.
