Finger Waves

I recently got my hair bobbed again and I'd love to do it in finger waves. Problem is, my hair is really thick and doesn't take curls or waves very well. Any suggestions for products/techniques?

If you can get ahold of ItGirl, she should be able to help.

I know she's done them successfully, but it's time-consuming.

The product I use for all my curls, waves, etc, is Paul Mitchell Flexible Style Super Sculpt. It's very close to old-style Waveset. It's very slippery and thin, and all you have to do is work a little into a damp lock of hair before setting it. It dries cleanly and smoothly, and looks natural when brushed out, not stiff or clumpy.

Sue, check out nocturne.com for details on how to finger wave, if you decide you want to give it a go.

You can also fake it pretty well by setting moderately tight curls, and brushing them out very carefully so they don't sproing too much.

Ack- my hair is so long and shaggy right now it's disgraceful! I'd never get them to hold. I need a haircut badly! All I can do is put it back in a headscarf until then...
