How can I get waves in my straight hair?

Question

I am blessed with straight, fine hair. It rarely holds a curl and that only depends on what products I use. I am not looking for a "perm". Does anyone have suggestions on what products work best, and how to get my hair to have nice natural-looking waves?

Answer 1

Use gel or moose while your hair is still wet and scrunch it with your hands....Then hair dry as you keep on scrunching! I have the exact same hair type as you do, and this works for me all the time! :)

Answer 2

When you get out of the shower - curl your hair from roots to end or even do this loosely with a bigger curling iron - or smaller, depending on the tightness of waves/curl you are looking for. Aussie products are cheap and will hold curl. Pumping Curls by Loreal is pretty good if you use just enough and they make a gel also that has always worked for me. The idea though is to try to keep them soft not stiff and yet have hold so be careful with any product. You could try any curling shampoo at the drugstore but it may be hard to see any results with pin straight hair. If you twist your hair and hold a dryer on it that works - or braid your hair and then sleep on it. I always touch up with a curling iron to make long loose waves. Good luck!

Answer 3

wash n curl works for some people. The other things you might want to try is a crimping iron. They usally have a lot of differnet irons. I also know that brading your hair and letting it dry that way nad then taking it out can produce waves. You need to braid it in little brades. You can also play around with curling your hair with rags and just use big thick rags to get more of a wave rather then a curl.

Answer 4

I suggest you roll your hair or try braiding your hair into about 5 braids while it is wet. Let it dry and then take it out and style. Spray some holding spray on it while it is wet and braided. Once you take the rollers out just finger through it. Try some gel also before and after styling. Good luck.

Answer 5

first you need to buy a crimping iron aka the curling iron that makes waves and you need to buy some spritz aka holding spray...ok then wash and shampoo your hair... blow dry or let it air dry.. then crimp your hair to get the waves.. with every few crimps spray the sprits ((holding spray)) BUT NOT TOO MUCH or it'll get hard and icky! then your hair will come out looking really super cute

Answer 7

I don't really know of any products, but if you wash your hair at night, while it is damp put your hair in two french braids, or about eight thinner braids, and leave them in over night, and in the morning take them out, comb your fingers through it and put hairspray and some moose in your hair. Hopefully that'll work.

Answer 8

Buy a 3 barrel waving iron.

Answer 9

Try hot rollers on dry hair, then spray it with a curl intactor. You can also try velcro rollers on damp hair, then blow dry it completely and then take the rollers out. Spray it as well.
