Hairstyles How To: Modern Twist on Vintage Hollywood Finger Waves

Vintage Hollywood glam can be extremely edgy and cool.  Joi Rooks, KMS® California Artistic Team Member and owner of fresche salon (Atlanta, GA), has a simple 15 minute technique for creating retro finger waves that are hipster worthy.  See the technique on video here:
 
Tools:
Flat Iron
Mason Pearson Brush
 
Products:
KMS® California FREESHAPE® hot flex creme
KMS® California FREESHAPE® hot flex spray
KMS® California HAIRSTAY® anti-humidity seal
 
·      Prep hair with KMS® California FREESHAPE® hot flex creme and blow dry to a smooth finish.
·      Take a vertical section and spray with KMS® California FREESHAPE® hot flex spray to protect and hold.
·      Put a clip at the level of bang line.
·      Take the hair from the clip down and form an s pattern with hands.
·      Compress down the s pattern with the flat iron so heat locks in the shape.
·      Clip the s pattern into place to cool.
·      Repeat, moving around the head, placing each ear level clip slightly lower than the previous.
·      Let cool and remove all clips.
·      Spray KMS® California HAIRSTAY® anti-humidity seal onto the brush and gently brush through to add shine and control.
 
The end result produces soft waves that have the s pattern of traditional 1940’s finger waves with a more pliable expanded texture.
