What Are Waveformers?
Waveformers are a tool for curling your hair without using any heat.
Think of your damp hair as malleable material like clay, and waveformers as a mold.

The idea is that when your hair dries, it will hold the exact shape of the waveformers.
Brands likeHairFlairhave a wide range of styles depending on what punch in of curl or wave you want.

This will help minimize any scalp tension and breakage.
Loop Your Hair into the Waveformer
Divide your hair into sections, leaving the bottom layer down.
Start by taking one-inch sections and twisting slightly at the root, placing the twist into the hook.

Once your hair is in the hook, turn it upwards to keep the hair from falling out.
it’s possible for you to also wear the waveformers overnight.
Continue until all of the waveformers are out, then style your hair as usual.
