2. Form Additional Waves

1. To place the second wave, move to the opposite side of

the part, the "light side." Begin the second ridge just

below the part by moving the hair towards the face,

creating the open end (#2 in the illustration on the

previous page). Then follow steps 3–9 above to form the wave.

2. Continue the same ridge all the way around the head,

until the ridge is complete. When the second wave is

complete, the closed end is formed.

3. To form the third wave, start on the side where

you completed the previous wave, placing your finger

approximately W” below that wave.

4. Repeat the procedure listed above, going in the oppositedirection.

3. Finish the Style

1. Dry the hair using a hood drier.

2. Brush through to finish for a classic look, or apply a spray-on dressing for gloss and shine if waves are not to be combed out.

Variations

Common variations on the horizontal finger waving

technique described earlier include the following:

• Pompadour

(can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal)

• Vertical finger waving

• Diagonal/oblique finger waving

You can use a combination of finger waving method that will fit the client needs.

PPompadour

A pompadour is a style that is not parted and is worn off theface. The set shown here has waves that become horizontal from a circular pattern in the crown.

To create this style, follow the procedure listed earlier,

starting at the front hairline and working back. Remember

to always start at the open end.

Vertical Finger Waving

Finger waving patterns can be created vertically as well as

horizontally. The set described here has no part and has

waves that flow vertically across the front and sides of the head, forming a pompadour. These waves will meet in backor may be set in a combination pattern.

To create this set, use the same procedure as for horizontal finger waving, except for the following:

• Stand behind the client.

• Comb hair straight back, off the client’s face.

• Begin on the left side, directing the wave to the left.

• Reverse the direction to form the next wave.

• The back of the finished set should fall into a horseshoe pattern.

Vertical Finger Waving

Finger waving patterns can be created vertically as well as

horizontally. The set described here has no part and has

waves that flow vertically across the front and sides of the head, forming a pompadour. These waves will meet in backor may be set in a combination pattern.

To create this set, use the same procedure as for horizontal finger waving, except for the following:

• Stand behind the client.

• Comb hair straight back, off the client’s face.

• Begin on the left side, directing the wave to the left.

• Reverse the direction to form the next wave.

• The back of the finished set should fall into a horseshoe pattern.

Diagonal/Oblique Finger Waving

Diagonal (also known as oblique) finger waves are often

combined with horizontal and vertical patterns. You can

start with one pattern and shift to another as you work

down the head.

For example, you can place your fingers and perform the

same procedure diagonally, and then gradually work into a horizontal or vertical pattern.👇
