There was very little definition in those waves. To get a better "defined and finished" look, those waves MUST be defined while moulding them. As Hotphlash said, work from one side of the head and work your way around to other. Practice makes perfect!
FINGERWAVES - NOT CLIP WAVES! the C shape should also extend down to the face. Hold your fingers super tight and you wont need clips. Pretty messy too... have it smooth and nice...
OK. Both African-American AND Caucasians CAN use wave clips. It's not considered lazy. They were used by both in the 20's and 30's. Why? Because one of my grandmother's is white and the other black and this is how they styled their hair back then. The ONLY time I've seen this done without wave clips is usually with Jamaican women when they plaster their hair down with tons of gel and use their fingers and a rat tail comb. The waves clips are more if you want a classic finger wave look.
@HotPhlash Thanks for the suggestion. I stopped the first top wave alongside the part because my hair model had a very pronounced part and I found it too difficult to turn the wave on such a tight radius. As I've gotten more practice, though, I can see that it creates a cleaner effect.
this is all wrong! that is not how to do fingerwaves! you use waveset it gel. the hair is suppose to be combed in a C shape and there are no clips involved! this is the lazy way of doing it
@iamDiamondCut The "lazy" way? Last I checked, finger waves were still regarded as one of the most difficult hair styling techniques to master, let alone for somebody who has little to no professional hairstyling experience. If the results look good, who cares if they used clips? This isn't the Hard Knocks School of Cosmetology, it's just a YouTube tutorial. Calm the fuck down.
@iamDiamondCut Um, Yeah. You can use clips. She probably knows how to do it without the clips as well. You think that's very easy? No. You learn how to do it without clips when you first start to do it. TO LEARN. This girl already knows how to do it. She's allowed to do it however she wanna btw. && What I was told, It's supposed to be an S shape. & No matter how you do it, it's very very verrry hard to do. You really needa stfu. This turned out great. So who really cares how she did it.
@AlexaML1234 excuse me, but I am a cosmetology student and I can do FINGERWAVES very well, WITHOUT CLIPS. they are called FINGERWAVES for a reason. I asked everyone I know about hair & has their CERTIFICATE in Cosmetology. I stand corrected. Clips give the fingerwave form, but they are NOT fingerwaves! These are clip waves. That's it. And this comment is hella old. Why are you still responding? I know Im right and there is nothing no one on here can tell me to convince me im wrong.
@AlexaML1234 you sound hella stupid. too bad im not fat nor black. im dominican, french, and white. not all dark skin is black, bitch. not only do you not know the difference in finger waves, you don't know your proper ethnicities. go educate yourself, "fat white bitch :)"

@iamDiamondCut This is the traditional 1920's style and YES they DID use CLIPS -- unless they were black and that was a completely different style of wave! Ask any woman 70 or over. Additionally, I am a writer, and I just did research and an article about waving black hair vs. the waves done with clips. So broaden your spectrum before mouthing off!
let me tell you how much i despise finger waves. i am currently enrolled in cosmet. school and early last year we had to learn how to do finger waves, i spent 4 hrs trying to do these and at the end of four hours, i had 0 finger waves. i have to do them again since its one of our current assignments. so god help me and let me get this right so i can get a good grade on it.
I'm from Denmark and I looked EVERYWHERE for those waving clamps! I finally found them on amazon.co.uk, in sets of 4 waving clamps for £1.99. Great video :-D
@howareyoumrfish They're just called "wave clips" and I got them at Sally's Beauty Supply, something like a set of 5 for $5. They also can be different sizes--some of the ones I have, I picked up at an estate sale. I'm glad you found this helpful, happy waving!

Stay doing the very first top wave all the way around her head and then go back around the head doing the opposite wave.

Using duckbill clips or hair separating clips to wave the back is much easier than using bobby pins but you can't use the clamps over them .
