Finger Waves
Faux Finger Waves at Mark Fast

The flapper do is making a comeback. But this time, it's tousled and relaxed enough for everyday wear. By creating a pinned-up bob, even those with long hair can rock the look.

Finger wave hair tools

Step 1: Make a deep side part and spritz your whole head with spray starch. Use a deep-wave or medium-barrel curling iron to create loose waves all over.

Step 2: Finger-comb all the waves except for those in front (they should remain sleek and close to your forehead). If you have long hair and want to create a faux bob, twist your longer layers into a low bun about two inches below the nape of your neck. Roll the bun under and upward, and secure it beneath the shorter layers with pins.

Step 3: Part your hair to one side and gather the center section of hair toward the opposite side of the part. Starting at the area above your eyebrow arch, twist the front section back and down.

Step 4: As you get closer to your ear, use a comb to slick the hair from the hairline near your temple back and into the twist. Use the comb to secure the twist by pushing it against your scalp in the opposite direction, toward the hairline.
