Who’s here in 2024 trying to diy finger waves?

[@CelestialRefuge.444]

Me lhh

[@I.like.poetry.47]

Me 😔

[@jenmacartney]

I'm a hairdresser relearning after 12 years I got booked finger waves for tomorrow 😂 haven't done them since hair school!

[@angiet510]

Meee on myself cause a sister on a budget🤞🏽🤣

[@LieliaMorrisSkincare]

I'm going to create a fingerwaving course.

[@Spontaneous_dyslexic]

Him: makes finger waves flawlessly and effortlessly me: crying in the corner because this shits so hard

[@GetGlamFam]

It definitely takes practice 😊🙏🏽 try to stick with it, you’ll get it!

[@teebradley2078]

Comment of the KZbin year

[@stormy3862]

I just made a comment similar to this. I was in the bathroom crying at school yesterday because I could get it figured out.

[@MrChestertonian]

Hang in there! This was the first thing we learned in beauty school and so frustrating! Honestly thought I wouldn't make it but then everything after that was a piece of cake! Glad I didn't give up (32 years ago and still going).

[@ElectricChrys]

I have said it before and I will say it again, your videos teach me way more than I learn at my cosmetology school! This is a much easier way to do finger waves than how they teach us in class!!!

[@GetGlamFam]

+ChrysLeighanneA awesome! I'm so happy to be able to help! I understand what you mean, I used to hate doing fingerwaves! I wish I had learned it the way I teach it now, but I'm thankful that I was able to learn it well enough to teach my students how to do it with ease. Thank you so much for watching! Good luck with cosmetology!! 😃👍🏽

[@ElectricChrys]

@Ginger Berry when your teachers were morons who taught you nothing, you learn elsewhere so you can get shit done. I ended up LEAVING cosmetology school because when I was in my last 300 hours I still had not learned men’s hair cutting as they refused to teach it because students didn’t have models when we weren’t given notice to need them, and they wouldn’t use the mannequins. I learned ALL my hair styling and updo techniques online. What I learned in school? How to sanitize a table, and how to mix color. Not even how to properly use the hair sheers. So stfu and maybe ask why someone WHY they find it easier to learn things online rather than from their teachers who show them once and expect them to master it and then say they’re shit and will never make it in the industry because they don’t have a fucking photographic memory.

[@MissAlyssaDee]

I normally do more 1940's/50's hairstyles with foam rollers on my myself but since I started watching Downton Abbey, I've been dying to learn how to do finger waves. I seriously think this is a super helpful video, and can't wait to try it on myself!

[@tessbessette5365]

thank you for this! finger waving is coming up in my core class and my teacher told us that people cry from how frustrating this can be. thought i would try to figure some of it out before class:) super helpful!!

[@GetGlamFam]

My pleasure! Yes, finger waves frustrate a lot of people, it’s my hope that this video helps simplify it for many! 😊🙏🏽

[@GetGlamFam]

@Ginger Berry KZbin is free, if you find that many issues with my video, you are always more than welcome to make your own. Thanks for helping my channel grow with your engagement and negativity! ❤️

[@sassyclassy88]

You made this look so easy! I cried during my practical exam because my waves were just so damn ugly! Lol! Waves and roller sets... to this day I hate them!

[@GetGlamFam]

I teach it this way, and it definitely simplifies it! Lol most people really struggle with finger waving

[@BlessedToBeSaved333]

In my beauty school, we started at the front. I'm sitting in my car crying and smoking watching this video tryna understand this 😭😬

[@jalexcasey9815]

Hello, for some reason, Im watching this on my sons account. But I am actually his mom and I am currently in cosmotology school goning through hairdesign and doing finger waves and I am not getting it at all. This video is so helpful to me. Thank you so much for making it. My instructor have about 30 students and it is impossible to get enough attention to help me. This helps because I can watch it over and over. Going to practice tonight and not going to sleep until I have mastered it.

[@efrainrosario368]

I’m in cosmetology school and I could NOT get this lmao and saw your video and this is so much easier to me now thank you so much 😭💕

[@dawnfelton8596]

I woke up at 2:30 am one morning and had the desire to learn how to style a wig using the fingerwave method. I knew this was the video from the start. This was a fabulous tutorial. I watched your video half way through and got it right away. Thank you for your breakdown of the process.

[@GHchic]

my new favorite channel. I am a visual person and you make it so easy. thank you

[@GetGlamFam]

+GHchic aww thank you! I appreciate that! I use these as a teaching tool for my students and it usually benefits my visual learners the most. Thanks for watching!

Mr been kids

[@angelahagood7143]

We attempted this in cosmetology class today. 🥴 I could not get the idea. Even though I am a leftie I think I can do it! You made this technique look much easier than in class. Now I just need to practice. Thank you!

[@SoBootifulWilson]

Im a leftie too!! And I just graduated cosmo school Aug. 2nd and took my written exam and passed. Now, I have to take the practical in January because every spot was full

[@applebottomjeans1534]

I don't even know why I'm watching this, I just find it so entertaining for some reason

[@GetGlamFam]

[@brandygroulx4379]

Make it look easy.. anyone remember muslidge on maneqins

[@denarrotalton870]

thank you for this I am a beginner student and we started waving yesterday and I almost cried because it was so hard it seemed to get but I will try this along with my teacher's technique to see and i can do it.

[@GetGlamFam]

+Denarro Talton you are welcome! Best of luck, and remember, it gets easier!

[@danielhartle3778]

nice tutorial. As a seasoned stylist that mainly cut and colors I really appreciate a refresher course in finger waves.

[@GetGlamFam]

+Daniel Hartle thank you so much! I really appreciate that! A lot of times I see people really over complicating them, so I'm hoping this video just helps people simplify. 😊

[@BellaStone8609]

I love how simple you made this look! I couldn't get those together for the life of me last week in class

[@GetGlamFam]

+Bella Stone trust me, I totally understand the struggle and I relate! We have all been there! When I figured out how to simplify these a bit, it was literally life changing for me! This is the same way I taught my students and it helped out immensely with them picking it up.

[@linetharias2692]

+Lineth Arias thank you very much! I am so glad you like the tutorials! Thanks for watching and commenting also!

[@nadinefields5952]

Thank you😭💜I have a practical this morning and I'm so nervous I've only done finger waves like once and struggled but these are very clear instructions 💜💜

[@nadinefields5952]

It's also confusing because I was taught vertical not horizontal this looks opposite to me but works clearly 😭❤️‍🩹

[@thelyftchronicles5216]

you explained it so well I can somewhat wave but you basically informed me of my mistake...thanks boo Now I have the technique I will post when I do it...

[@GetGlamFam]

+Nova Sherfield my pleasure! I'm so glad to be able to help out! I hope your fingerwaves look BOMB now! 👍🏽😉

[@dominiquemayo5249]

[@kibirkstele20]

Hello, I have a client for make-up and hair, and she wants finger waves, so I thought I'll start with the hair, but I do makeup quite quickly, if the hair will still be wet, is it safe to use hairdryer or will it ruin the finger waves?

[@lisapearson4366]

THANK U SO MUCH AGAIN FAM!! GUNNA TRY IT, AND HOPEFULLY AFTER ALL... THESE YEARS, I CAN DO IT.👍👍

[@Alisa07l]

Hi! Thank u for the helpful tutorial. I was just wondering if you can do a video on how to cut the hair before you finger wave?

[@GetGlamFam]

+Melody Brown my pleasure dear! You actually don't have to have any specific haircut for fingerwaves, it can be done with most lengths of hair.

[@Alisa07l]

Thank you doll have a great weekend

[@GetGlamFam]

+Melody Brown my pleasure! You do the same!

[@lipsticksucker84]

I have always so much problems with the drying the hair. Cause when I do it wet it simply is so difficult to get it try (the lover parts of the hair). Can you say something about that?

[@GetGlamFam]

+lipstick sucker it sounds like it's either due to the length or thickness. You may benefit more from pin curls or dry waves. I'll see if I can put together a couple tutorials to help with that. Thanks for watching!

[@lipsticksucker84]

Thanks for your respond!!!!"

[@ashnepa]

Why is my hair lifting when I move my fingers? I've tried it with freshly relaxed hair and after 2 weeks. My hair is about 2-3 inches long and very fine.

[@teebradley2078]

Same issue

[@TheNitaapplebaum]

Love it! I need you to do mine.

[@kieshahall9993]

[@savannahmilhorn6964]

Is that a styling head??

[@dwoodcreations4436]

why at do u do with the ends of long hair when u are doing find lier waves?

[@GetGlamFam]

+DWood Creations at the ends, you do pin curls, and people either wear it curly, or brush the curls into waves as well. I hope that helps answer your question! Thanks for watching!

[@dwoodcreations4436]

GlamFam can you do a full finger wave look I have about 3 feet of hair lol so if you had time that would be amazing I love your videos keep it up

[@GetGlamFam]

+DWood Creations with that much length, you may benefit more from this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imixgX6kl9ipbMU I hope it helps!

[@area2012girl]

how long would this style last on a pixie cut.

[@GetGlamFam]

+area2012girl it depends on the clients sleeping habits, and the type of products they are using. For some, it will last a couple days, for others, about a week. (Some people can wear it longer, but not many.)

[@area2012girl]

GlamFam Thank you!

[@GetGlamFam]

+area2012girl my pleasure!

[@melissavintagetinkub7648]

One caveat: finger waves are from the 1920s, not the '40s. : ) Thank you so much, though, for doing it with your fingers and combs and not a curling iron!
