Back in the ‘60’s, if you went to Cosmetology schools in California, Finger Waves was a crucial class that you had to pass or you couldn’t graduate and take the State Board exam. We used a liquid type gel solution and used our index and middle finger instead of clamps. Some of us were good at doing the whole head. And they were graded on how complete and without breaks in the ridges we created on the heads.

@KoiAi_ Жыл бұрын

I went to cosmetology in the 90s and we did it the same way. It was difficult at first but i rose to the top of my class of 40+ students and made the best S wave ridges, deep and pronounced S wave troughs. I used to struggle with it but then once i got the hang of it, I loved it so much! However, I never liked the scent of liquid pomade. 😂

@@erinparsonsmakeup Don't worry, old books will likely teach you better than most beauty schools. I had some help from teachers, but they usually hated them as much as the students, so most of my learning in school was done from our cosmetology textbook, which, since it was modern, didn't have anywhere near as good instructions as the period/contemporary instructions written for people who would actually do this every day. Once I went straight to the source, the instructions were a lot more clear and detailed, and it made practicing them much easier.
