Step 1: Apply a texturizing spray to damp hair.
One way to help give your hair stylish crinkles is to prime your hair with texturizing spray.
This helps give your hair enough grip that the crinkles will hold.

Spray a light mist of spray over all of your hair, then comb through the strands to spread it. -

This helps you get the harder to reach parts styled before you let more hair down., Move the waver or crimping iron down along your section of hair instead of up from the bottom.
Hold the waver closed for a few seconds, long enough that the hair should be crinkled when released and it will be hot to the touch.You can go all the way to the tips or leave the ends free for a bit of a casual, beach-vibe. , After you finish putting the waves over your entire hair, run your hands through it.
