  • Question
    How long will the waves stay in place?
    Community Answer
    I always finger wave and pin curl my hair, and my finger waves have lasted until I washed it again. I use extra-strength setting lotion (any quality brand should do) and I got the wave clamps from eBay. The finger wave technique is something that you get better at doing over time, and the hair will naturally begin to fall into that pattern when you finger wave it often.
