Wide tooth comb
Hair Dryer
Styling gel (our choice: Finnese or Pantene Pro-V)
Towel
Shampoo & Conditioner
First of all wash your hair. Make sure that you put some good conditioner in it to make it easier to comb through. After you have washed it comb through with a wide tooth comb to reduce breakage. Flip your head up and down and shake it to divide into smaller strings. Take some good hold gel, (Pantene Pro-V) and apply it to hair from the roots up scrunching with your hand and fingers. Do this all over your hair until you have applied gel to every strand. Take a towel and scrunch with it to get some excess moisture out. your hair should be wavy now....but wait...unless your hair is naturally curly you are not finished. Here's how to get it to hold. HEAT. Do you know how hot sticks and hot rollers work to hold curl in your hair? Well, this works the same way. Just as you were doing before scrunch with your hand and hold the blow-dryer close to your hair. Don't overheat because that causes breakage but make sure that the hair gets hot. Stop every once in a while to add more gel if you think that the curl isn't holding. Do this to all of your hair until it is completly dry. Notice the emphasis on COMPLETLY DRY. There is a point to that. IF your hair is not completly dry all of the curl will fall out and all this hard work will be in vain.
Don't worry if it didn't come out the exact way you wanted it to, it takes practice and before long you will be doing this out of habit.
