Finger Wave Easy
With Simple
instruction
BY Josephine Huddleston

"a AVING fluid Is not essential
Wv to q good finger wave II the
hair, itself. has the basis for
q good wave whether It be a per-
ma1ent or natural one.
This problem. IL it really is such.
never came up until recently, but
tnen ringer waves weren't in vogue
ultn lately. and the one brings up
the question OF the other. To
s~tr3ighten the whole thing out 1--WE
mad a number OF inquiries about
waving lotions within the past few
little.
Finger waving is an outgrowth Of
water waving. where the wave was
set n the hair with combs arranged
IN the proper sequence to produce
q desired effect-a wave that re-
sembled a marcel but which no iron
had touched. The combs used for the
water wave, being made OF celluloid,
frequently caught fire from the in.
tense heat turned on the head TO dry
the hair after the wave was set.
Naturally some means OF avoiding
this catastrophe had to be found
and its solution proved 70 be the
finger wave.
You all realize. Of course, that a
finger wave or even a water wave
Is possible only when one has natu.
rally curly or permanently curled
slair. Finger waving merely means
setting a wave In the hair with the
fingers, but / assure you II Is q far
o intricate accomplishment than
that mere statement indicates. The
person giving the finger wave must
know low to manipulate his fingers
so that the waves go where they are
wanted and that they stay there
when they r set. This brings US
up to waving fluid which Is the
medium many hairdressers use for
making the hair more traceable
when giving a finger wave.
Waving fluid Is a harmless prep
aration, made Of ingredients that
hold the hairs together fatty. II is
something like the old-fashioned ban
doline. which was used for holding
the spit-curls OF bygone days in
place.
Waving fluid Is applied to the hair
while II is wet and, other than max
ing the setting Of the finger wave
easier for the hairdresser. has no
mission in the world such as making
the hair gloSsier or more attractive
in any way. II doesn't even make
the wave stay in longer. IL Is sim
ply a perfectly harmless medium for
making the hairdresser's work easier.
Most waving fluids on the market
are based on the same formula, their
main difference being in their color.

about for some days now and this
