1920s Hairstyles

How to do Fingerwaves and other popular hairstyles of the 1920's.

Fingerwaves (also known as water waves) and Marcel Waves were two of the most popular hair styles of the nineteen-twenties. As is obvious from the name of each hairstyle, they were methods of adding waves to straight hair. The primary difference between the two was that the Marcel Wave used heated tongs to set the wave, while finger waves relied on water or a lotion to hold the waves in position until they dried.
