Short finger wave hair, don’t care!
“Short hair removes obvious femininity and replaces it with style.” – Joan Juliet Buck
The finger waves are back. This time for our short-haired ladies. This hairstyle is destined to highlight your face structure and add an edge to your overall style. For longer-lasting waves, wet your hair. Be sure to use a fine-toothed comb to achieve a wave-like pattern. Then use hair gel and conditioner to shape and hold your waves.

Con’s:
Don’t apply too much hair gel to your final look as it will delay drying and may cause your hairstyle to flake.

”Keep your ends trimmed and rest your hair between styles. Ethnic hair especially needs a break between treatments and tight styles” – we couldn’t agree more Pearl.
Giving your hair a break between styles can do wonders in:
- Promoting hair growth.
- Scratching that scalp with ease.
And more significantly, you’re able to express your hair’s unique personality through so many versatile styles. Pearl is a natural at finding ways to style her hair.
