Life as a Hairstylist’s Apprentice – Finger Waves to shore

BeautySmack has been following Marina, and her life as the real beauty school apprentice. We’re updating you for a taste of what is going on in this hairstylist – to – be’s life. Finger waves were a popular look in the 1920’s, and still a popular technique in beauty school. Using pins instead of curling irons or other appliances is the trick with this technique. Primitive, maybe. Necessary to learn. Maybe if the Bob’s return and need a little softer edge.

Fingerwaveing….ahhhh! I now fully understand why it’s so helpful. Doing this defiantly shows me how to move, and to use the hair. My ridges aren’t quite big enough to call it a fingerwave yet, but it’s getting there! After the holiday break and a quick trip to visit the family coming home from a nice mini vacation I started right up again with fingerwaves. And I will continue them until at least the end of this week but defiantly not quit until I get it down to a science! I’ve been waving poor Suzy’s hair for three days now, and thank goodness she’s so patient with me! Although I was starting to think she was getting frustrated too, she was stuck on the tripod, and when I pulled her off she hit me under my chin!! Oowww!! I am more cautious now not to lean over her when removing her from her stand!! Well I pulled my book out today in hopes for a different direction on the process of fingerwaving, and I think I have an even better understanding after reading. Isn’t that what textbooks are for. So today I will master the fingerwaves!!! I will post pics whether good or bad and let you be the judge of my progress!!!

hope you all had a nice holiday.
