I'M going to show you how to create some quick finger waves on the practice head. I think you'll probably find if you've struggled if you've tried, creating finger waves on a person and you've struggled with it. Just take a step back and go back to your practice. Head again, because I think you'll find once you've been able to master the technique on a practice head you'll find it really easy to then work well, you'll find it a lot easier to then work on a person, so I've done a little bun just in the Back here and I just used two ponytails at the back of the hair and wrapped the ponytails around each other - we do have a tutorial showing you how to do that particular style, and I think it's the one with the finger wave tutorial. So now I've left one section out here just at the front and I'm just going to put a little tiny bit of mousse onto the hair and then I'm going to do the vintage Tong technique. So I'm separating these this panel here you need to make sure, when you create this panel, that it's no deeper than your sort of finger here as you'll find the waves really difficult to create. I'M going to separate it into three and with each one. I'M going to curl the hair, make sure you cut all the hair and then turn the Tong towards you and wrap the hair around turn the Tong towards us, I'm lifting the clamp on the Tong and turning the tongue. So you just lifting the clamp, try and keep the tongue the same distance from the head. Now you can see this technique on our vintage tongue technique tutorial. So I'll just do this quickly for you, because it's more the finger waves. I want to show you here. You you will find the hair on the practice heads it's really easy to manipulate and to mold into back home for their great to to to practice to get drilled your confidence, so once you've created your curls just let them cool down a little bit brush through That curl, I'm going to show you these finger waves from two different camera angles, and then you can work out which camera angle you find most helpful. Then I'm going to use my waving comb, so you just need a nice straight edged comb. So we just get your little section Clips ready just going to pop them there on my t-shirt. If you imagine the wave is an S shape. So if you break that S shape down into two you've got to see shapes going in the opposite direction, so we're going to start off with our first see up at the top here and it's important that you start off at the open end of the C. This is our first C shape here and in order to you can always create a C, but if you do one side of the C and come back again without putting your finger and you see all the hair moves, so you need to go back. Put your finger on there before you come back and create the rest of the C shape, bring all the hair forwards. Now you have to press your finger down quite hard on that the hair there, or else it it just on it as it will move so once you've got your hair forward now. What you need to do now is you need to keep this hair flat? So don't be tempted to sort of pull the hair forwards like that, you need to keep the hair flat on the head. You need to gently nudge, the hair forward with the comb, so the hair is already going in that direction. What you're doing is just giving it a little nudge a little push in the back little nudge forward, so it goes a little bit further forwards, so from nudge in the same direction, then you move your fingers down and that's our first wave and then our second Wave is going to come back this moment way. You might find it easier at this stage to secure that one wave in place instead of moving your fingers down, so I'm going to secure so we'll do one wave at a time so there's my first wave and I've put that clip in there just to help. Keep the hair in that shape now keeping my finger here. I can then bring this in backwards into this direction. Again. What you're not going to do is push the hair forward you're going to take the comb flat on the hair and push it in that direction. Then move my fingers down and over the comb, and then I've got my second finger wave here now be careful what you don't in order to make sure you get that crest, what you don't do is be pulling the hair down the further down you bring the Hair, the less of a crust, you get you'll still get your wave, but you don't get a crest, so keep the hair. You need to sort of nudge it upwards. A little bit I'll move. My fingers down get another clip pop it on there and now I've got another one here and it's just waiting for me here now. It'S already there you'll find finger waves on the heads they're much easier, so it's a really good way to practice this technique and then just at the end here, I'm going to use my little up and over technique to secure that in place. Now I'll show you the finger waves from a different angle. Take the hair brush it back into this direction. So if we just do one waver two time to start off with later on, you can start to sort of create more waves and you'll be able to start moving your fingers down a little bit more. Like sort of that before you start to clip, but just start off doing just one wave at a time, so I'm going to notice how I'm pushing the hair back here not pushing all the hair back, I'm keeping the hair flat and quite wide putting the comb On top and the comb needs to be parallel to your finger, so don't have the Coma an angle because it won't work. You need to keep your comb parallel to your finger at all times. Nudge hair back through almost pushing it in that direction, is if it's a little bit reluctant to move, give it an extra little nudge swap your fingers over and then you can take the comb out now. If you're confident, you feel you can create the next wave without putting the clip in just by moving your fingers down, you can do that. But if not, you can just put your clip in here. So then your fingers are free. Again, you can do the next one, so it's already gone in that direction. Just take the comb flat on the hair and push nudge the hair forwards, and then you can swap your fingers move your fingers down, keep make sure you keep all the hair, nice and tidy get into the clip in there and then bring this one back. I think we can just do one more there. Then I'm going to use a fine pin use a blonde one here, so you can see what I'm doing and I'm just taking the end of the hair to straighten up the pin, doesn't work if they're bent go in, take some that nice secure, hair go up And over and back in do one more down at the end, there make sure that's hidden, so use a really strong hairspray just to finish the style and then just let that set move for 10 minutes and then what you can do once you finish coat carefully. Take the hair pins out and then what we need to do then is make sure that the the waves stay flat to the head. So then, you just use one of your fine hair pins you're going to do like a bit of a running stitch. You go pick up some hair from underneath pick up a little bit of hair from the wave and go down again up and down, and just do like a little running stitch along the hair. That will just help to hold the curl the wave flat against the head, and it will stop them lifting up. Let'S do one more here so pick up. Some of the hair, underneath with your fine pin, pick up a little bit of the wave you're sure nothing shows too much. It will just hold the wave nice and flat so go in press your finger down pick a bit of the hair underneath the wave and then the little sort of running stick stitch action just pick up a little bit of a hair from the wave, and that Will hold it just nice and flat to the head? I can just see a little bit of that hair pin there. So I might just do that one again, because I don't want it to be visible at all. So just take your time, make sure you're happy with the results, so it should be invisible when everything's finished, but it should just be holding it. I might need to just push that down a little bit. That'S it that's better and that will stay nicely in place.
