Using a Bed Head Wave Artist (or similar deep waver) is straightforward. The process involves clamping sections of hair and holding for a short period to create waves.
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Prepare your hair: Ensure your hair is dry and detangled. Using a heat protectant spray is recommended.
-
Section your hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1-2 inches wide. The smaller the section, the tighter the wave.
-
Clamp and hold: Clamp a section of hair into the wave artist, ensuring the hair is evenly distributed between the plates.
-
Timing: Hold the waver for a few seconds. The video reference suggests counting "4, 1, 2, 3" before releasing. Experiment to find the optimal time for your hair type and desired wave intensity. Higher heat settings may require less time.
-
Repeat: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all sections of your hair.
-
Style: Once all sections are waved, gently run your fingers through your hair to loosen the waves and achieve the desired texture. You can use hairspray for added hold.
Tips and Considerations:
- Heat Setting: Start with a lower heat setting and gradually increase if necessary. Higher heat can damage your hair if used for too long.
- Hair Type: The optimal clamping time will vary depending on your hair type. Thicker hair may require slightly longer clamping times.
- Practice: Practice makes perfect! It may take a few tries to get the hang of using a deep waver and achieving the desired results.
