My hair is extremely long and straight, and I recently took four inches off of it so the tips reach around the middle of my back. I'm a dancer, so I can't go too short, but I want to make it seem shorter by making it wavy. I heard curling irons can be damaging to hair. Is there another way to get my hair into waves?
Saynotogymclass answered Sunday May 1 2005, 3:17 pm: Use scrunching sprays. John Frieda has really good stuff that takes no time to do. You just put the stuff on and scrunch scrunch scrunch. THen you let it dry or blow dry it and your hair is curly! You have to shower before you use it though. [ Saynotogymclass's advice column | Ask Saynotogymclass A Question ]

Straightening irons are ok in small doses and you can by spray to spray on your hair before you use the tongs to protect your hair from the heat. [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]

First, your hair must be pretty damp. Not dripping wet, but definitely not dry. Next, spray a little bit of hair spray on front, back, and underside. Not too much. Then get a glob of gel and work it through your hair. Bend over, so that your hair falls around your face.
Grab handfuls of hair and scrunch them up to your head. Hold each one for a few seconds. Repeat this a LOT. Concentrate on the hair directly in front of you when bent over, this is the hair that will be by your face. Get some more gel and work through again. Scrunch some more. Then a teeny bit more hair spray. Finish with one or two more scrunches.
If you want, you can use a diffuser on a blowdryer to dry your hair. The diffuser deflects the air, so all you get is the heat. Thus, keeping that lovely wavy shape. Or you can let it air dry, and keep the "wet look" longer.

mellobymorning answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 9:27 pm: after taking a shower, just braid your hair all over or in little buns all ova your head and go to sleep with them in. Painful?? YES!! but pain is beauty gosh!!
MyPaperHeartIsBleeding answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 9:00 pm: A way i usually make my hair wavy is.. Right when you get out of the shower put ur hair into some sections of braids. Then put the braids into seperate little Buns. When you wake up the next morning, you 'can' spray it with light hairspray and blowdry it if it is still wet.. then take the braids/buns out and it should look fine :-) hope i helpeddd !
