Below are step-by-step instructions for both methods. In the first case, you will need a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment, an iron or a curling iron, in the second, you will have to do your evening hairstyle at night, since fixing the waves on the strands will depend on the waiting time.
Making classic waves on strands is best done using a triple curling iron: wet strands are treated with styling foam, dried, then parted evenly and curled.
Making waves with a straightening iron takes much longer than using a curling iron. The instructions for preparing the strands are the same as in the above paragraph, then we work with a straightener.
The first method: we pry the strands closer to the skin from the inside of the head. We scroll the straightener and direct it along their length, resulting in a wave.
The second method: one by one we roll up rings from the strands by winding them around two fingers, remove the finished ring and compress it with an iron for 4-5 seconds.
Next, you need to do a light backcombing in the root zone, and then fix the result with varnish.
You can also do an evening hairstyle with curls curled with a curling iron in the form of waves: comb the strands and separate them with any parting, after which we spirally curl the hair using a curling iron.
As soon as all the strands are curled, we perform styling and fix the resulting waves with long bobby pins, fix everything with varnish and remove the bobby pins.

The technology of using a hair dryer with a diffuser also allows you to get women's evening hairstyles with light waves: wet strands are treated with styling foam, dried with a hair dryer with a diffuser and beautiful light waves are obtained.

If you don’t want to spoil the healthy state of your hair and do heat styling, hairdressers recommend trying the following option:
- We divide the wet strands into two parts with a central parting, then we divide each part of the hair into two more identical halves, each of which is rolled into plaits;
- We fix the ends of the bundles with thin rubber bands and leave them in this state overnight. This technology will allow you to get beautiful wavy curls in the morning, which will only need to be fixed with hairspray.
