Begin ridge at concave end. Position teeth of comb along your index finger and slide comb approximately 1" (2.5 cm) toward the concave end. Flatten comb, switch fingers to position ridge between your index finger and middle finger. Turn comb, hold the ridge and distribute the hair in the opposite direction.

Study Notes
Finger Waves Overview
- Fingerwaving is an art form that shapes hair into graceful waves.
- Improves finger dexterity, hand/eye coordination, and hand strength.
Wave Formation
- A finger wave consists of two complete oblong shapes connected by a ridge.
- Planning the direction of the wave pattern is essential before beginning.
Oblong Shapes
- Oblongs serve as the foundation for wave patterns.
- Each wave movement has two reference points: convex (closed end) and concave (opened end).
Wave Characteristics
- Waves created with a C shape form parallel curved lines.
- Waves consist of a hollow recess area and a ridge/high ledge.
Product Knowledge
- Proper quantity and quality of hair care products yield predictable results.
- Familiarity with products enhances application skill, which improves with experience.
Molding Techniques
- The first oblong is molded toward the convex end and the second toward the concave end.
- To mold effectively, pressure should be applied firmly at the center of the oblongs.
Ridge Creation
- Establishing a ridge is critical to forming a second oblong.
- The process of creating ridges involves transitioning between fingers while distributing hair.
Wave Types
- Fingerwaves with low ridges are known as shadow waves.
- The 2-comb technique uses two combs for precise, narrow waves, especially effective on curly textures.
Variations of Finger Waves
- Skip waves consist of alternating oblongs connected by a ridge; one is molded, while the other is set with pincurls or rollers.
- Hair wrapping molds hair over the head's curves, creating smooth, slightly bent styles without added volume unless rollers are used at the crown.
Circling Techniques
- Circle wrap distributes hair from a single point around the head's curves, stretching it while wet to minimize heat damage.
- Final designs can be enhanced with flat irons or added curls after drying.
Benefits of Hair Wrapping
- Hair wrapping results in smooth, straight hair with a slight curve, avoiding damage from wet stretching or excessive heat.
