My hair...?

Question

How do you make hair wavy? Leaving it in braids overnight just doesn't look good for me.

Answer 1

for hair that has natural wave, use a dryer with a diffuser. diffusers are designed to dry the hair without losing texture while keeping hair from frizzing. if you're hair is naturally straight, a cool way to get looser waves is to wrap medium sized sections around a 1" iron. don't clamp the hair in the iron, just wrap it around the outside. this creates a looser effect as opposed to clamping the hair in the iron and rolling up to the scalp.

Answer 2

Pincurls may work for you. Just roll them the width you want them, and then use bobby pins to hold them down.

You can also use rollers to get a wavy look. The process is called piggybacking. Section off a piece of the hair, place a roller on the scalp, and lay the sectioned-off hair over it, and clip it down. Then place a roller next to the first roller, but on top of the section of hair. Roll the hair over this roller, and then repeat. Once you have a few inches left, roll the last portion from the end to the previous roller and let your hair set like that. It may take a while to do though.

I want the wave out of my hair, want to trade? My hair has a natural wave but I would think possibly putting in those little foam rollers at night and twisting the hair while you roll them on the sponge rollers might work. In the morning- ta dah!
My little girl (shes 4) wanted curly hair and I used sponge rollers on her wet hairat night. Use the big pink ones and do not curl them real tight and twist your hair while you loosely roll it up!
If its too curly try a blow dryer to tame the curls! My 4 year olds hair was wavy most of the day!

Your sex appeal may not really work in the pink rollers but the after effects of the curlers might be worth it!

Answer 4

Shampoo dries out hair beacuse most ot them have a high concentration of sodium laureth sulfate (salt). You may have naturally wavy hair that you are brushing and shampooing the waves out of. Try not using shampoo (just massage your scalp with conditioner to clean it) and putting gel in wet hair. This is not unhygenic- my hair has become less oily and dandruffy since I quit shampoo. Eventually your hair may turn wavy naturally! This takes 2-4 weeks to begin working. Visit the site below for some more wavy/curly tips and a couple straight-to-wavy stories. Hope this helps! (:

Answer 5

If your hair is naturally stick straight, then I'm not sure what you can do. But if it has some natural wave to it, you can try washing it before you go to bed and let it dry as you sleep. It will at least get some volume to it while it dries, then in the morning you can spray it with a little water or scrunching gel and scrunch your hair to add waves.

Answer 6

if you have a straightener with the ends that are curved, however big you want your waves, take that much hair and wrap it around the straightener like its a curling iron. then just run your fingers threw it when your done.
