A finger wave is a technique for setting hair into waves (twists) that was prominent in the 1920s and 1930s and in the late 1990s in North America and Europe. The procedure includes squeezing the hair between the fingers and brushing the hair in rotating headings to make a wave shape.
To create finger waves hairstyles:

Tools:

•  Water spray
• Hair gel
• Hair brush
• Tail comb
• Silver section clips

How to:

• First of all wash the hair or wet it very very well, until is soaked.
• Apply hair product in it, in this case the hair gel that will help to style it and make it stay.
• Brush through the hair, in order to have it sleek, divided by the parting you want
• Start creating the shape: Using a tail comb, brush it in one direction(towards the face for example), then push the hair with the com back and pinch it in between the fingers.
• Brush the hair the opposite way now and start doing the same movements.
• Use Silver section clips to to keep the "pinched" hair in position until it dries.

The S shape:

For the S shapes waves, the way of doing it is very similar to the previous one:

• Wash or wet the hair very well, and do to not towel dry it, because it has to be soaked.
• Apply hair product (gel) to help it to stay in place
• Brush the hair using a tail comb, directioning the hair in one direction
• with your finger hold the part where you want to create the wave and while holding it brush towards the opposite direction
• Repeat the same procedure 
• Using a silver section clip, you can clip that section where the wave is made to keep it in place until is dry.

Using Curling tongs:

You can also create waves by using Curling tongs directly on the dry hair.

•  Brush the hair to avoid having nods
• Using a tail comb, take s small section of hair
• Curl it downwards. Use small/thin tongs in order to have nicer and more frequent waves.
• Make sure that all the sections are the same size.
• Curl all the way down
• Once it cooled down, Use a brush and and brush through the hair, but follow the hair with your hand to maintain the shape.
• Now arrange/ style the hair the way you want it to look.
