My first go at setting finger waves using normal hair combs in lieu of water wavers. Its a little messy, which im sure will get neater with practice, but I was pretty happy with the result!

Wow, it looks so neat! Well done xx

Thanks gals! It was super easy to do...I just pushed each wave up with a normal hair comb, held it there with a bobby pin. The back was just done with my normal pincurls, then put a beanie over it to flatten it until it dried.

Very nice, I love how the soft waves culminate into a bunch of soft curls.

I did 30's hair tonight for the opening of the Petersen Auto Museum's exhibit Automotivated: Streamline Fashion and Automobiles. It was fabulous by the way.

I should have done the photos before, but here is what was left of my hair and makeup when I got home:

side view:

I did soft waves on the top and curls at the ends to disguise my below shoulder length hair. I realize that I am really starting to look like my dad's mother--except that I am about a foot taller than her. Or, maybe it is just the hairstyle.

Also, thanks ladies for the compliments - and the eyebrows are helped out A LOT by pencil and shadow.

Ah ha!! Very nice! I do love my water waving combs but your's has worked out well with the short ones too. Keep and eye open for water wavers on ebay.

 

[swinggal]

Found this today too. At least i know I was using my water wavers correctly

 

[Inky]

Thank you for this Swinggal!! I bought a bag full of water wave combs while on vacation and though I just plan to use them as combs, it's good to have this info in case I'm ever moved to try it! very cool

I also added photos of me using them further back for my waves. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=15856&page=386

Nice one Swinggal! You know it was your gorgeous photos of your own do with the water wavers that inspired me to try this! Ill keep looking for the longer ones, but the short ones seem to be working ok in the mean time!

Okay so I've got pincurls to an art, I think. I take a shower and put my hair into two braids. Then I wear it all day and at night I take it down and pull it into curls. In the morning I have nice Shirley Temple ringlets. However... when I brush it out it just gets huge and fluffy. Nothing I do seems to settle it down.

Any advice?

I've tried adding moisture but it makes it worse!

Have you tried smoothing it with a "frizz-ease" product? The key is to get one that is applied to dry hair. Most of them are for wet hair, and will weight your curls down.

Could i just say how fantastic all you ladies look, it was this thread that really inspired me to try and make an effort with my hair every day, i will post some pictures when i have mustered up the courage!
