How To Get Wavy hair – Hair Waving Techniques


1. Scrunching – If you have biracial type hair that has a wave to it you can really bring it out using this method.

  • After you wash your hair you’ll need to use a good waving product and your fingers to work the product through your hair like you’re crushing paper into balls. Grab fist full’s of hair and squeeze the product in.
  • When you do this and don’t use a comb or brush in your hair the end result is smooth “wet look” waves.


2. Braid Outs – If you want really defined waves the braid out method is perfect for you.

  • Doing single or cornrowed braids on damp hair with a setting lotion makes the most beautiful waves you can imagine.
  • Braid outs are one of the healthiest methods to get waves too because you can air dry instead of using heat.


3. Twist Outs – These are very similar to braid outs besides the fact that you twist braid rather than use three plaits or cornrows.

  • You can either single twist or flat twist the hair using a good moisturizing setting lotion.
  • Adding perm rods to the ends of your hair adds to their definition.
  • This is another healthy hair technique because you air dry and don't use any direct heat.


4. Crimping Irons – Using a crimping iron gives you luscious waves quickly because you use heat and do it on hair that’s already dry.

  • The down side is that because you use heat it has the potential to singe and burn your hair if it’s not done right.
  • If you’re going to use a crimping iron make sure to choose the lowest setting and only style clean hair. Using a good heat protectant is good insurance as well. Once you don’t use the crimp iron too much and you do your deep conditioning treatments regularly you’ll be just fine.
