Cheat Finger Waves | Christmas Hair Tutorial

Hey guys welcome to my 2018 Christmas hair tutorial this year. I wanted to challenge myself. As you may know, finger waves, and just 20s hair in general is the bane of my existence. It is something I struggle with so much so I wanted to challenge myself today and have another go at finger waves, and today I'm actually going to do a cheat way to achieve these finger are kind of Marcel waves, so we're actually going to use a curling Iron and if you want to know how to do this, hairstyle really pretty sleek style for the holidays, then be sure to keep off watching to start. I am going to separate out my parting, which is going to be pretty low because that gives the most kind of vintage cheap vibes. So I'm gon na start pretty much about love. The arch of my eyebrow so break that and then I'm gon na go to about the same level. On the other side, with my other eyebrow, I'm going to gather all of that and clip it away in a bun right on top just for now. While I work on the rest of the hair, which is going to create the shenyang, so all of the rest of my hair, I am going to now just take off my glasses for a second here, I'm going to brush back into a sleek low ponytail. Take any hair elastic, I'm going to tie this off and then, when I have my last little loop here, I'm going to just pull the hair through a little bit, but not all the way so that it creates a little bit of a beginning of a chignon. Here, just gon na make this a little bit bigger, and this is really the time to adjust how big you want to make your bun. So there's going to be my bun right here and then all the rest of this hair. I'M just going to take that and wrap it around a hair elastic that I have here and then thin this with a few bobby pins to make sure it lasts okay. So there is your basic bills. You know, and now it's time to work on the actual faux finger wave, slash Marcel, wave part of the hairstyle, so I'm gon na do it on this little portion of hair. So this is the hair that is going to be heat styled. So I am going to spray it with a heat protector, just gon na brush this through to make sure the product is distributed evenly. So now, I'm gon na give this a couple of minutes to completely dry before I move on to the next step. So I'm going to work in a couple of sections here, I think about three should be good, so I'm gon na start with the lowest section first, and I separate that out. So the other two-thirds I'm just gon na clip away again. Basically, what we want to do is create the illusion of a finger wave without actually finger waiting, the hair. So what we're going to do is take a curling iron that has a clip and we are going to alternate the direction in which this is placed on the hair in order to kind of recreate the S waves made on wet hair with hens. So it's a little bit of a cheat method, a little bit easier to do. In yourself, I find that traditional finger waves are really hard to do and I'll be completely honest. I haven't managed to do a good set of finger ways yet so I'm going to start with one curl with the clip pointing up and I'm going to push down my hair quite firmly on the curling iron. Now let go I'm going to hold it here for a few seconds just to give that curl the opportunity to cool down a little bit alright. So now I'm going to flip my curling iron around and have the clip on the lower part, and I'm going to this time, hold it just below that wave that we just made and I'm going to pull my hair up the release and again hold this. For just a few seconds give me Harry the opportunity to sit and wrap the hair around the bottom. Now, while you're doing this, you want to make sure not to pull on the top of the hair. The part that's already curled or you're, going to lose everything already done, and now it's honestly up to you how far you want to keep going, I'm going to keep doing this until the curled hair is long enough to reach into vision. Y'All that I have in the back, so I think I need to do at least one more round. You can already tell how we're getting that gorgeous when things wave pattern going on here, so I'm going to grab the end tail of this, bring it back to the chignon and I'm just going to pin it down there with a hair pin just temporarily. While I work on the rest of the hair here, alright so time to move on to the next third of hair, I have here now. What you do you want to keep in mind is that we are starting a little bit further away now. So what we're? Actually going to do is this time, instead of starting with the barrel down clip up, I'm gon na start with me put down the barrel up just so that we hopefully match up with the curl underneath in the next round. Now this bit is a bit trickier for me personally, just cuz, I'm trying to incorporate my bangs in here as well, try to make it work now, of course, it is up to you how deep you want to make these waves a smaller curling iron will give You a bit of a more authentic twenties effect, but you know it all depends on what you have available and also how far away you space these waves out manually, it's time to do the last one. So this time I'm gon na start with the barrel down clip up again all right. So now we have all the ways take down. The previous two first make sure they kind of all align with each other. So you get a uniform curl pattern in here. Okay, so now we have the basic curl pattern in is going to be much easier to do the actual finger weight. So I'm gon na take my comb again and the first wave is rather easy to identify because it's you know on top. Obviously so I'm basically going to take this indentation place my finger in there gon na place. My comb like to see my finger and push it back like that and place my finger there again and I'm going to take a duckbill clip, I'm going to slide it in right where this finger is and take over there. So then, I'm gon na do pretty much the same thing with the next wave. I'M going to slide my comb back in and push forward. First, is this one walls going back? I'M gon na take another finger and push back get a clip in here. So then, with all the hairs that are remaining at the end, I just need to wrap that around my bun as well and pin it down with a bobby pin and now this portion, I'm going to spray down with a lots of hairspray and I'll. Give us a few minutes to completely dry all right. It has all dried so now it is time to remove the clips again now, if you have a few pieces still sticking up here and there, like, I have one right here. You can just take one of these hair pins. Just a simple little hair pin and gently slide it in there in other ways, you're gon na force it down to your head all right, then so after the whole thing has been hair, sprayed and done. This is the finished results. We have a really pretty faux finger wave going on down the side and then a nice little simple Shenyang in the back. It'S nice and sleek hair style a little bit of something different for me. You guys know. I prefer my messy era kind of more casual boho hairstyles, but I feel like a sleeker hairstyle like this, so unless you put a little more effort into is really nice for the holiday.
