How to make light waves in hair depending on the length

Not all methods can be suitable for a woman, much depends not only on desire, but also on the length of the hair.

For long

It is very easy for owners of long hair to create a new look with waves, because they can use a variety of tools for this. The iron will make light wavy strands, which is used as follows:

• wash your hair and dry slightly - the curls should be slightly damp;
• comb the hair and separate one strand - it is twisted into a bundle and begins to dry / press with an iron;
• the process begins near the roots, at each stage you need to linger for 10 - 15 seconds and only then rearrange the iron below.

Having processed all the hair in this way, shaking it with her hands and fixing it with a light varnish, a woman will achieve a "creative" mess on her head with barely noticeable, but fully formed curls. This option adds volume to hairstyles and is great for girls with thin and straight hair.

You can also make light waves on long hair with curlers (it is better if they are used with Velcro). While still wet, the strands are rolled up and dried naturally or with a hair dryer. It would be appropriate to use fixing mousses and foams - this will keep the hairstyle for several hours.

On average

In principle, at such a length of curls, you can also use an iron and curlers according to the above algorithms. But with the help of a curling iron, you can make vertical waves, they are also called the "corkscrew effect":

• a styling spray is applied to the hair;
• narrow strands are separated, each is wound on a curling iron from the roots vertically;
• after 30 seconds, the curling iron is removed from the curl, but the “corkscrew” itself does not unwind, but is fixed at the end with a clip-clip.

After the hair is completely dry, the hairpin is removed and an extremely neat and “correct” curl is formed with your fingers. However, you can do without it, just put aside the comb and "cheer up" the strands with your fingers.

The same hairstyle is done with the help of thin curlers, but in this case you will have to take a thermo - they are first heated and then only used. Hair stylists / hairdressers warn that this device has an extremely negative effect on the structure and health of the hair.

Therefore, the procedure should be carried out extremely rarely, when it is necessary to maintain the "corkscrew effect" for several days. In this case, before starting work, a special fixing mousse should be applied to the strands.

Zigzag light waves for medium hair - hit of the year! When loose, they allow you to attend any events and even theaters with confidence in their irresistibility, and if you put them in a tail / bunch, you can go to work in the office - the appearance will be neat and stylish.

To obtain the desired effect, you need to perform the following manipulations:

• divide wet hair into 4 large zones - the back of the head, temples and frontal;
• select strands of the same size from each part (not wide);
• prepare pieces of foil corresponding to the length of the hair and twice as wide as the formed strands;
• wrap each of them in foil like an "envelope" and fold it in the form of a corrugation - as in childhood they made a fan out of paper;
• warming up the iron, press the prepared curl and hold for 5 seconds.

Next, you will need to wait for the foil to cool completely - and you can open the finished strands. Light zigzag waves on the hair, made with an iron, will turn out if you shake the entire hairstyle with your hands, slightly fluff the strands with your fingers. And by combing the resulting splendor with a comb, it will be possible to achieve the effect of a "ride on a convertible" - the hairstyle will become lush, voluminous with the remnants of strict curls.

For short

Light waves on short hair is not an easy task. Of course, you won't be able to change anything if you have a hedgehog on your head, but in all other cases there are options. The simplest thing is to create a new hairstyle with a curling iron:

• treat wet hair with a fixing spray or mousse;
• pick up one thin strand, clamp the hair at the root with a curling iron and run it along the entire length.

Movements should be directed upward from the root, and downward to the ends of the hair: you get neat waves. It is better to start the procedure from the back of the head and move to the temples and forehead. At the end of the process, you can comb and get a voluminous and "correct" hairstyle with curls, and if you straighten everything with your hands / fingers, you will create a careless image.

Watch the video on how to make curls for short hair:

If short hair allows you to make several turns around the pencil, then you can create a perm effect on the head. To do this, you need bobbins - narrow "sticks" in the form of a cylinder, on which there are clamps. They are made from a variety of materials, but experts recommend giving preference to wood products. What should be done:

• wash your hair, dry your hair a little and apply mousse, foam or spray on them to securely fix the result;
• take a narrow strand (as much as possible) and wind it on the bobbin - the tip should also participate in the process and lie flat so that no kinks are formed;
• dry your head with a hairdryer.

On a square

This hairstyle can be austere and slightly perky, romantic and creative. Such different images on the hair of a square will help create waves - they can be performed using a curling iron or curlers with Velcro, an iron. Here are the options that work:

• Barely noticeable waves... To achieve the effect of "riding a convertible" you need to wash your hair, comb it in shape. Then, only those strands that will lie on the flat surface of the rest of the hair are twisted onto wide curlers. The result should be a layering of waves and straight curls.
• Creative mess... While still wet, the hair is divided into strands, each of them is wound on a curling iron. It is important to dry each "curl" on the curling iron with a hairdryer, lifting the strand up. At the end of the manipulation, you just need to shake your head or lightly "comb" your fingers. In this version of the hairstyle, the bangs can remain straight or also undergo changes.
• "After the rain"... This effect can be created with an iron - it is used to dry the bundles of damp hair, twisted from thin strands. It is important to follow the direction of the tips and "bake" them with an iron in such a way that there is no disheveledness, sloppiness on the head.

But experts do not recommend getting carried away - let such a hairstyle be rare, but it immediately changes the woman's appearance, makes it more romantic, festive.

We add volume with pigtails

Watch the video on how to make curls without curls and curlers:

You can make several narrow ones, then the waves will turn out to be smaller and more frequent. And the curls will be more elastic if the finished braid is twisted into a bundle and fixed at the top or at the back of the head.

Light waves on the hair with pigtails can be done at least every day, but there should still be a "vacation". To preserve the result obtained for 1 - 2 days, you can moisturize your hair overnight and treat it with a fixing spray or mousse, foam.

Frequent change of image, the need for regular updating of the appearance, and simply because of a good, cheerful mood, making waves on your hair is possible and necessary. Moreover, there are a lot of methods for this, both with the use of special tools and without them.

PART 1. ELECTRICAL TOOLS TO HELP

Magic iron

The epithet "magic" in this context means multifunctional. The iron, as the name implies, of course, is primarily intended for hair straightening. But it is quite possible to use it in a slightly different role.

By the way, in this case the waves will look soft and natural. Condition: the width of the ironing plates should be no more than 3 cm. For example, straightening tongs from Erika Professional, BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium, and Ga.ma P11.CP.1 are suitable.

Process:

1) After separating a small strand of hair, you should intercept it with an iron in the middle.

2) Wrap a strand around the tongs, and, turning the iron 360 degrees, slowly lower it down.

3) Having processed all hair in a row with an iron, sprinkle the finished styling with hairspray.

Popular wisdom, as you know, says that it is better to see once than hear 100 times. We completely agree, therefore, we attach to the written explanation the corresponding video material found on the vastness of Youtube.

Curling irons - "curling adjustments"

There is nothing complicated here - take a curling iron, a strand and here it is, the desired curl. Simple, but still there are a few tricks here. Firstly, in order for you to get not curls, but light waves, you should give preference to a large-diameter curling iron and separate wide strands of hair.

When one "wave" is ready, move on to the next strand. After the bottom of the hair has been processed, you should proceed to the top.

Secondly, it is advisable to apply to each strand, before using the power tool, fixing mousse.

When all the strands are curled, you should lower your head down and shake your hair. Then, straightening, carefully parse the hair with your hands. It is also a good idea to fix the resulting waves with varnish.

Now about the essentials, about curling irons. Fortunately, technological progress has affected not only gadgets - it also touched girls' weapons. So, glamorous pink and white Erika "Deep wave" tongs are specially designed for all lovers of the "deep wave" effect. The power tool's concave profile easily shapes hair in a Barbie style.

In addition, the same manufacturer, Erika Professional, is also interested in the RCM 020 triple curling iron.

The model allows you to create the effect of light curling and at the same time adds volume to the styling. Suitable for owners of long and short hair.

In general, waves on the hair allow you to create any triple curling iron. As a result of the use of double tongs, the curls are already more zigzag in shape.

By the way, some people with a sense of humor call such curling irons differently - double-barreled guns. The similarities are obvious! On the one hand, the parallel rods in their shape really remotely resemble a gun-namesake, and on the other hand, both double-barreled guns are smashed on the spot, in the very heart. Agree, beautiful curls immediately attract attention, causing a stir among men.

In addition, you can make waves on your hair using tongs with replaceable corrugation nozzles, for example, such a model, P11.250HP, is available from the GA-MA trademark. Four attachments are not the only attachment to the power tool, the model also comes with a comb - for better smoothing of hair. The tongs are suitable for any length of hair.

Curling irons or irons. Script

Regardless of what you are going to use - an iron or a curling iron, there are a number of general recommendations.

So, the hair must be pre-washed. It is best to dry them with a towel, but if the time, as is usually the case, is too short, you will not be able to do without a hairdryer. Exposure to high temperatures is very harmful for hair, especially double, therefore, without first applying thermal protection, you should not start "wave formation".

Our choice:

Lakme Teknia Straight Extreme Thermal Protection Spray

Thermoactive protective leave-in conditioner Helen Seward THERMO ACTIVE FLUID 2 / F

Revlon Professional Uniq One \u200b\u200bAll In One hair treatment for all hair types. This product, by the way, not only has thermal protective properties, but also makes styling more resistant, prevents split ends, and also makes hair soft and shiny. All in all, 100% multifunctional!

PART 2. ALTERNATIVE METHODS

Small pigtails

This method is good for its simplicity. Another advantage - the actions are carried out in the evening, in the morning it remains only to unbraid the braids.

The "braiding" procedure is recommended to be carried out after the hair has been washed and pre-dried. Hair should be damp, but not wet. The thinner the pigtail, the smaller the curl will be. For a light wave effect, it is recommended to braid two braids at the sides. Do not use a comb in the morning. Shaking your hair with your fingers, fix the styling with varnish.

Just bundles

An equally simple method similar to the previous one. Its essence is as follows. In the evening, apply a foam or any styling product to combed hair, for example, Helen Seward STYLING MOUSSE medium hold protein mousse (this will provide the "waves" with durability). Then, using a pair of hair ties, you need to make two high buns. Simply put, the hair, having previously tucked up, should be tucked under an elastic band, and then go to bed.

In the morning, after removing the elastic bands, comb your hair with your fingers. The result is light, natural waves.

Breath of wind

By this romantic phrase we mean a familiar hair dryer. After all, a power tool can become a source of wind, causing changes in the image in the most direct, and not at all figurative, sense. For this, however, the hair dryer needs helpers - a diffuser and a styling agent - spray or mousse.

Hair before styling should be washed and blotted well with a towel, thus removing excess moisture. A curling styling product is then applied to damp hair, such as WET Boost Bounds from Wella Professional. Next, tilting your head, you should start drying, spiraling from the tips to the roots. Keep in mind: the diffuser needs to lift the strands straight up. The result is a hairstyle that looks perky and as natural as possible!

On YouTube, we found a short two-minute video demonstrating the installation process with a diffuser.

Old comrades - biggo away

To make waves on your hair, you should give preference to large curlers. Size in this matter is of decisive importance: the size of the curl directly depends on the diameter of the curler. Accordingly, if you want to achieve small curls, you need to choose papillotes.

It is very convenient to use Velcro curlers - they themselves cling to the hair, in this case, no elastic bands or sticks are needed.

If time is too short, you can create a "wave effect" with the help of hot rollers. But you should not abuse them - otherwise you can damage your hair. Experts advise using hot rollers no more than once a week.

Before "putting on" the curlers, the hair should be washed and dried. Then apply a styling product - mousse, spray or foam. Gently comb your hair, distribute the styling evenly over the entire length. The next stage is curling: separating the strands, wind them on curlers. Then dry your hair naturally or with a hair dryer. After the curlers are removed, the curls should be gently combed with your fingers. To fix the result, it is advisable to sprinkle the hairstyle with a varnish that has a slight hold.

Instead of a conclusion

Waves are waves, but hair, like people, also needs proper rest. If the strands are straight from birth, do not curl them daily. In this case, after a short period of time, one problem will give way to another, more important one. The question of "wave effect" will cease to worry, but the dilemma "how to restore damaged hair" will appear in all its glory.

It is believed that the simplest styling that a non-professional can do at home is soft waves and crisp curls. In part, the statement is true, but even in such a simple process there are a lot of nuances, and there are at least a dozen work technologies. How to make waves on hair of any length? What can be used if there is no curling iron?

The choice of tools for work

70% of a successful hairstyle depends on the right tools and means, and only 30% on personal skills that come with experience. Therefore, you should understand what can be achieved with this or that device, as well as what each of the spray cans in the hairdressing store is focused on.

First, you need to pay attention to styling lines from professional brands: you can wind waves without a curling iron, but without varnish or foam it is extremely difficult to make them not bloom right there.

Mousse or foam

It mainly plays the role of a fixative, but sometimes it also performs other functions: for example, it adds root volume... Designed for fine, normal or oily hair, especially if it contains alcohol.

It is undesirable for dry hair, since it reduces the percentage of moisture (due to which it "cements" the hairstyle).

It is desirable to apply on wet strands, try to saturate them completely, but do not overdo it. The hold is average, the effect is not too natural: the curls look papery if you apply a lot of product.

Varnish

Required element that, when applied alone, will give natural result (choose a varnish marked "flexible"), and when applied after the foam will enhance its effect. If you need to make strong but light waves, sprinkle the strand with varnish just before wrapping, but not until wet.

Remember that the spray should be in contact with the hot surface of the hair dry.

Gel

It should be immediately clarified that this product should not work in tandem with thermal devices. The gel is used to create beach waves, a kind of wet natural effect. Fix it cold (important!) by air. It can also be applied to the ends of curled curls to make them crisp.

As for the tools, the waves on the hair are created by means of a curling iron, iron, hair dryer or curler. The latter can be both electric and soft or sticky. In addition, it is not so simple with forceps. How to make the right choice?

Iron

Most universal option, but requiring skill. With it, you can get quite natural, soft waves on the hair (not curls) if the plates of the device are 3-5 cm wide.

It is important to trace the presence of a rounded edge that will not leave creases. Suitable for any length and structure.

Curling iron

In the beauty market today, you can see not only standard cylindrical models, but also conical and double ones. Soft waves are obtained on a device with a diameter of 29 mm, but this is only relevant for hair with a level from the shoulders and below... With a short haircut, winding strands on such a curling iron will not work.

Curlers

The method is not the fastest, but quite gentle, if we are not talking about their electrical version. But again, it should be noted that the result depends from diameter: Large Velcro curlers are optimal, but they are suitable for owners of length from the shoulder blades and below. But it is better not to purchase soft flexible curlers (papillotes) - they give rather steep and small curls.

How to style short hair in waves?

When looking at styling tools, it was pointed out that with short haircuts, the result is usually not what is expected. But this does not mean that it is impossible to make a hairdo: to get waves it will simply take a little more effort.

The most common method is cold styling... You will need a hairdryer, mousse, and a large number of (at least 10) duck clamps. It is recommended to take a gel for a long-term result. A similar technology can be used at any length, however, it is with a short haircut (strands up to the chin line) that it gives a gorgeous effect.

• Break the entire mass of hair into 2 parts with a vertical parting, which it is desirable to shift to the side. Divide the head into zones with transverse lines: occipital, middle and front. It is recommended to start work with the latter, stab the rest so that they do not interfere.
• Squeeze out some gel (about a walnut for normal thickness), rub in the palms of your hands and gently apply to the front of your hair. Try to spread it evenly with a fine-toothed plastic comb. Then smooth with a fine natural bristle tool.
• Start to lay an even, wide strand in waves: first, slide forward, then from the forehead, and repeat this "snake" to the very tip. Each turn should be secured with clamps on both sides. The softer the transitions back and forth, the more elegant the styling will turn out.
• Dry the gel with a cool air dryer, then remove the clamps, gently smooth the right side of the strand with natural bristles and spray with varnish. Repeat the same for the middle and back zones.

An important nuance in this technique is the choice of gel. It should be a liquid medium that has a slow "cementing" rate.

The strands take a long time to lay and must have good flexibility throughout the process. If you still doubt your abilities, use mousse and / or varnish.

How to create waves with pliers?

Working with a curling iron or an iron, in fact, does not present any particular difficulties, but if you need to get exactly the waves on your hair, and not clear curls, you should pay attention to some nuances.

• Wash your hair before styling. Clean hair, of course, holds the hairstyle worse, it is softer and lighter, but here it is only a plus. And finally, a weak fixation varnish will help the strands not to straighten out after a couple of hours. Moreover, in the shower, it is advisable not to use masks - only balm or conditioner: they do not weigh down and do not thicken the hair structure.
• Work in zones and start from the bottom layer. First, it is convenient; secondly, so the subsidence will be uniform - by the time the top layer begins to wind up, the rest will already lose clarity, but will not straighten completely.
• It is recommended to fix curls on thick hair with a clip before cooling. At the same time, the curl should be varnished, and before heating - with foam.
• After curling, break all the strands with your fingers. Such a move will avoid the deliberate clarity of the curls, and also slightly weaken them.

The holding time and laying technique depend on the desired result, the starting material and the type of appliance. For a natural effect, 40-45 seconds are enough. at high temperature, for a more solemn - 60 sec.

How to wind waves without a curling iron?

The lack of a thermal device (or electricity to use it) will not interfere with the desire to make a beautiful styling: you can wind the strands in other, albeit more time-consuming, ways.

Simplest - familiar to everyone from childhood: wet hair needs to be carefully combed, braided into a thick French braid (when the initial strands are taken above the crown of the head), secure the tip with an elastic band and hide under it - then it will not remain straight. It is required to walk 3-4 hours with a hairdo, after waiting for it to dry completely.

The process will accelerate if you take hair dryer... Then the elastic is removed, the strands are broken with your fingers, sprayed with varnish. The waves come out naturally careless, light enough. But the less dense the hair, the sharper the curls.

A similar option, with which, however, you cannot sleep, because it is uncomfortable - break the entire mass of wet hair into several equal parts. Their number depends on how soft waves you want to get (you can not divide at all). Twist each strand into a bundle, which turns around its axis, forming a bundle. Secure with an invisible or wide elastic band (tape, thread, etc.). Also, wait until the hair is completely dry.

If very large waves are needed, it is recommended to use a special foam roller under the beam.

Non-trivial scheme - using wet wipes or cloth strips. They will work according to the same principle as the curlers, but with a lesser degree of impact on the hair structure: the material must be wetted (if it is fabric), a strand must be wound on it and secured.

In conclusion, it should be said that natural and light waves can be obtained during the normal drying process with a hairdryer, if you take a diffuser nozzle. To do this, the head is lowered down and traversed along the entire length of the strands from the tip to the root. It will not be superfluous to use foam, which will give root volume.

It is probably difficult to imagine a more feminine and romantic hairstyle than waves on hair... Moreover, in the past few seasons, these light soft curls literally do not leave the fashion catwalks in Milan, Paris and New York. We offer you 5 super ways to make different waves on your hair from real professionals.

Method # 1: hair waves and a diffuser

The diffuser attachment allows you to reduce the time for creating curls several times. That is why fashionable stylists are so fond of using it both on models and on world celebrities. Follow our instructions to create waves in your hair quickly and beautifully.

1. You will need some mousse or styling foam. Apply the product to damp hair and, as it were, remember the strands.
2. Use the diffuser attachment for the hair dryer to consolidate the result. Dry your hair thoroughly, paying attention not only to the ends, but also to the roots, so as not to lose volume. In just 15 minutes, your super stylish wave styling is ready!

Method number 2: flagella and waves

This will help create larger, yet natural waves that look great on girls with long hair. Divide your hair into multiple sections using hairpins. Twist each of the resulting parts into flagella in turn and dry thoroughly with a hairdryer. You will get spectacular curls, while you can control the volume of the waves using flagella of different diameters. Apply a moisturizing glitter spray to your hair to keep your hair dry and give curls a shine. If you have thick, dense hair, fix the result with hairspray.

Method number 3: hair iron to help you

The hair styler is also perfect for creating beautiful, stylish curls. This method was actively used by the best stylists in New York, but the secret quickly became apparent, and simple girls quickly and easily mastered this method, and now almost every third person knows how to create curls and waves of different amplitudes using a curling iron. If you haven't tried it yet, then it's worth experimenting:

1. Separate a medium section of hair. Fix the strand with an iron so that it is as close to the hair roots as possible while squeezing the strand perpendicular to the hair growth.
2. Rotate the iron 180 degrees and slowly pull along the strand 2-3 cm.Then turn it 180 degrees again and go down the hair another 2 cm.Thus, go over the entire strand to the very ends.
3. Repeat this procedure with each strand. You will get original, slightly wrinkled waves on hair.
4. After all the strands are ready, gently comb through your hair.

These waves look best on short and medium length girls.

Method number 4: curlers for wavy hair

Classic curlers are a common way to curl your hair. Boomerang curlers are the best for creating natural waves. Blow dry your hair to a semi-dry state. Roll strands of different sizes on curlers, but do not tighten them too much so as not to create an overly doll-like look. Wait until your hair is completely dry and remove the curler. With your head tilted down, use your fingers to comb through the curls to make them even more casual and stylish.

A stylish bohemian look with waves can be created with a few stilettos and a volumizer at the roots. On damp hair, apply mousse or foam (we love the OSiS + Session Label from Schwarzkopf Professional), and without combing, twist the hair into a tight enough bun at the back of the head. Blow dry your hair in cold air mode until semi-dry, then leave to dry for another 1 hour. To avoid losing volume at the roots, wait until your hair is completely dry before loosening it.

Wave hairstyles were popular as early as the 40s. They were used by Hollywood stars and film stars in their images. Now "Hollywood waves" have not lost their relevance among celebrities.

They look very gentle and feminine on hair of any length, suitable for everyday or evening styling. You can do this retro hairstyle with a curling iron, hairpins or an iron, and it's very simple.

Retro wave features

In the 19th century, hairdressers themselves were innovating in their business. The inventor of the "waves" in the 1880s was Marcel Grato... The hairstyle was called "Marseille", and the styling tongs - "Marseilles".

After publication in one of the specialized magazines, the curling tool invented by Grato became generally available. Marseille styling has gained popularity in Europe.

At first, wave hairstyles could be seen in girls with a thin and slightly angular figure, short hair. Later, wave styling became more feminine, and began to be used on medium and longer hair. Appeared such a thing as "undulation".

Translated from French, the word "onde" means "wave". A wave is understood as a part of the hair near the main parting, surrounded on both sides by special lines - "crown". The "crown" is considered the maximum point of the wave; how long the hairstyle will hold depends on its height.

Thick coarse hair does not lend itself well to undulation. The master can assess the condition of the hair and advise on the appropriate method of undulation. Undulation is carried out during forty minutes or an hour and a half.

Ideally, undulation should mimic the exact waveform with alternating crest and trough. There are two ways to create a retro wave - hot and cold.

Look at the photo of how waves look on short hair:

And this is how the waves look on hair of long and medium length:

"Hot" wave

In order to wrap hair in waves in a hot way, hot tongs and a comb were definitely required. Waves were created by moving forceps from hair roots to ends, and they had to be placed sequentially - first above the strand, and then - under it.

Now waves are created even easier - with or with round tongs. You can even use it, however, it will be a little more difficult.

Check out how you can create a retro hairstyle with a regular hair straightener:

Now on sale there are special irons for curling hair with waves.

So, during hot undulation, one strand of hair is taken, which is combed and fixed at the roots with hot tongs. Within a few minutes, forceps with the heating side should be kept under the strand.

The rest of the hair is combed in the direction of the next wave. The exact same procedure must be carried out with another strand, holding the tongs already over the strand. Everything is repeated with the remaining hair.

Here's a way to create waves with a curling iron:

There are also special ones, for example Babyliss, with which you can make waves. For example, with the help of a triple curling iron, you can create just such a romantic light hairstyle, with which you can be present not only at any celebration, but also on the beach:

Video: triple curling waves

In fact, you can use almost any, the main thing is to curl the strands the same way and then harmoniously lay them in a single, common wave, with the same bends.

"Cold" wave

This is the most easy way to create waves... Cold waves are created with a comb and fingers. Clamps are also used.

Previously, the hairstyle was fixed with a decoction of flax seeds. A strong hold gel is now used, which is applied after rinsing the hair.

Waves form on damp hair. Before styling can be done light, especially if they are long. This will make the styling look fuller.

Retro hairstyles are very relevant today: in addition to waves, they are popular. They are especially good in that they do not require a long time to create them.

And now it is very fashionable to do ombre hair dyeing - a certain vintage image of hair burnt out in the sun is also created, about him. By the way, waves with ombre will look very interesting.

The ombre effect on short hair looks no less interesting:. And, of course, curling such hair in waves will look very appropriate at any celebration.

So let's see how the cold wave is done. The first wave begins at a distance of about one centimeter from the parting:

• First, it is determined where the wave bend will pass. This is done with a comb perpendicular to the head.
• After a centimeter, the hair sharply moves to the side.
• Then the comb is laid flat, and fingers push her hair away from her.
• Other hairs are styled in a different direction with an indent from the first crown by two centimeters.
• The hair is shifted by the comb in the opposite direction, and the crown of the second wave is obtained.

Dry styling with a hairnet and clips.

You can also make waves on your hair with braids - all the strands will be the same:
