finger waves
Marcelled hair technique
Finger waves are a hairstyling technique creating S-shaped waves close to the scalp, formed by pinching and shaping wet hair with the fingers and a comb.
Popular in the 1920s and 1930s, the style remains associated with vintage glamour and appears in formal African American hairstyling: She wore her hair in sleek finger waves for the gala.
