Steps:

1. Begin by forming the first wave, in order to do so, you will need to apply a very generous amount of holding gel or setting lotion throughout the entire head.

2. Apply a side part. Side with more hair is called the heavy side (see photo 1).

3.distribute hair evenly from the crown around the entire head. Make sure the hair is brushed completely straight down from crown.

4. Place the middle finger of your subordinate hand on thehead above where the ridge is to be formed (#1 in the

illustration). If right-handed, use your left middle finger and vice versa.

5. Place large teeth of comb approximately 1/4" below middle finger. Make sure teeth of the comb are directly touching the head and is perpendicular to the scalp.

6. Draw the comb approximately 1” toward the hairline (thiswill be the open end of the wave). The comb should

remain parallel to the finger and perpendicular to the

scalp.

7. Place comb flat to the head.

Steps (cont.):

8. Place your forefinger on top of the comb beneath the ridge to protect the ridge. The ridge is now between your forefinger and middle finger.

9. While still holding the ridge, brush the hair beneath it straight down until all hair under the ridge is smooth.

10. You will now begin forming additional waves.

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

12. Continue creating the wave around this entire head until the ridge is complete.

13. To form the third wave, move about 1/4" below the second wave and repeat steps 10-12 going the opposite direction.

14. Finish the style by allowing the hair to dry under the hood dryer. You then have the option of brushing our the waves for a looser look or spraying it with a finishing gloss to add shine.
