Finger waves

Believe it or not some cats that called theirselves a pimp or a playa is still wearing finger waves. These cats look like women in mans body. It's really sad. I remember back in the 80's finger waves became popular again. DJ Quick and a lot of West Coast rappers wore them.

Did you know finger waves were first created and became very popular in the 20's and 30's?

The process of finger waving may be described briefly as follows:

Hair that has been dampened with water is combed out straight
and sponged with curling fluid (setting lotion). The first wave
should begin an inch or more from the scalp,
depending upon personal preference. The hair is pressed down
near the part with the left hand and drawn by the comb
toward the brow, making a sharp ridge. The comb is pressed
upward and should graze the scalp so that every hair will be included
in the wave. The comb is not released until the ridge is held firmly
in place between the first and second fingers of the left hand
and then it is drawn through the hair to the ends. It is advisable
to wave around the head instead of downward toward the ends.

To make the second wave the comb is drawn sharply away
from the brow, while the first wave is held firmly in place.
Continue the wave, working down from the part, around the head.
The ends in front of the ear are curled into a flat ringlet.
The hair over the ear is curled in back of it and, when dry,
is combed to cover the ear.

A net should be placed over the head and the hair dried
before combing the wave. While the hair is drying, the waves
can be pressed in more deeply. After the hair is dry it should be
combed back from the face, not downward from the part,
and pushed upward into waves by the hand and the comb.
