- Wet the hair and apply enough setting lotion to be
evenly distributed throughout the hair. Pay special
attention to the application at the scalp.
- Apply a side part. The side with the most hair is called
the “heavy side.”
- Distribute the hair evenly through the crown and the
entire head. The hair should be positioned as it will be
when the hair style is completed.
- Place the middle finger of your subordinate hand on the
head above where the ridge is to be formed (#1 in the
illustration). If right-handed, use your left middle finger
and vice versa.
- Place large teeth of the comb just below (approximately
W” below) the finger (not touching it), where the ridge is to be. Make sure that the teeth of the comb are touching the scalp and the comb is perpendicular to the scalp.
- Draw the comb approximately 1” toward the hairline (this will be the open end of the wave). The comb should
remain parallel to the finger and perpendicular to the
scalp.
- Lay the comb down flat against the head.
- 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.
- While still holding the hair in place with your subordinatehand, rotate the comb and comb down through the ends of the hair until all the hair below the ridge is smooth.
You can switch to the fine teeth for more control.
- Continue thus process around entire head back and fourth
- Style any hair left in curls
- Finish by drying hair with hood dryer
