Finger waves create a glamorous look.
Using hot rollers or curlers to make finger waves for that sexy, vintage 1930s look is very similar to the technique used to make spiral curls. Usually finger waves are done as a wet set and use a lot of hair gel. You can do something similar with hot rollers if you do not have time to wait for wet hair to dry but your hairstyle will not last as long. You will need the smallest rollers you can find and a lot of hairspray in order to get the tightest curls possible. It will also take some practice to get the look right.
Instructions
Set Your Hair
1. Wash, blow dry and comb out your hair.
2. Heat the smallest hot rollers you can find.
3. With a comb, section your hair at the earlobe level, all across the base of your hairline around your head. Use a claw to keep the rest of your hair pulled up and away from your face and neck. Take a 1- to 2-inch section of hair and spray it with hairspray. Roll it in a hot curler tightly until you reach your scalp. Secure the hot roller with a clamp or other fastener. Continue making 1- to 2-inch sections, spraying and rolling each one.
4. Remove the claw from your hair and section off hair at the level of the top of your ear all around your head. Put the rest of the hair back up in the claw. Divide the hair into 1- to 2-inch sections, spray and roll.
5. Remove the claw and section off the hair around your crown, putting the rest of the hair in the claw. Divide the hair into 1- to 2-inch sections, spray and roll.
6. Remove the claw and divide the remaining hair at the top of the head into 1- to 2-inch sections, spray and roll.
7. Let the hot rollers cool. This may take 30 minutes or longer.
Curl Your Hair
8. Take out the curlers one at a time when they are cool. Begin with the bottom curlers and work your way up the head.
9. Keep your hair in the curled loop when you take out each curler. Apply hairspray to each curl. With your fingers, wind each loop and resecure it against your head with a hairpin or two.
10. Apply hairspray over your entire head when all of your hair has been pinned up. Let it dry for at least an hour or until you are ready to style it.
11. Take out the hairpins. Style your hair as desired and spray into place.
