Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Comb your wet hair out starting at the ends and making your way up toward the roots. This will loosen any tangles from your freshly washed hair.
2

Spray your head with a texturizing spray, starting at mid-shaft and finishing at the ends of your hair. Spray enough to cover the entire area; usually around five to six spritzes.
3

Flip your head over. Scrunch your hair using your fingers to work the texturizer into the strands. This also pushes the hair together and begins to shape the wave.
4

Part your hair in the desired style using your comb. Grab a 1- to 2-inch section of hair nearest to your forehead. Place your finger near the scalp and begin wrapping the hair around your finger until the entire strand is twisted.
5

Wind the hair up into a little bun near your scalp. Place a bobby pin directly over the bun and add another to make a criss-cross.
6

Repeat winding 1- to 2-inch sections of hair around your finger until all your hair is secured into little buns with criss-cross bobby pins. Pay careful attention to follow your part line.
7

Place a bandana or comfortable knit cap over your head before bed. This helps keep the bobby pins in place as you sleep.
8

Take the pins out when you wake up. Flip your head over, and fluff and separate the waves with your fingers.
9

Flip your head upward and style your waves using your fingers. Brush or comb the hair carefully if it is wavier than expected.
10

Spritz a light-hold hairspray over your entire head. This helps keep the waves in place, but allows for flexibility and movement when you walk.
