Vintage hair styles, especially, finger waves

I`m interested in learning how to style my hair like it`s from the 1930s-1940s. I found the wondeful areticle "The Anatomy of a Curl" which detalis the formation of the essential pin curl. I`ve looked and looked for directions on finger waves, but haven`t found any detailed enough for my limited styling skills. Any information with instructions or pictures of vintage hair styles would be great!! Thanks.

I`m not sure if it`s an accepted means of doing finger waves - but if you have big saloon-type bobby pins (the ones that are about 3 inches long) - you can use those. After you get out of the shower - takes small sections - about two- three inches wide and put the bobby pins down the section of hair - maybe five or six (or however many you want)- about an inch or so apart. Alternate the direction that you put them in - from the right, then the left, right, left, right, left, etc. - you might have to force the pins each direction a little bit so you actually get a wave effect - then either let it air dry, or blow dry on low. You could put a little bit of setting lotion or gel on your hair b/4 putting the pins in. I`ve tried this and with a little practice, it works.
