use some sort of hair gel but not alot...and brush it and scrunch it, but don't use too much gel you will end up getting that super gay gangster look. then take the blow dryer to it to dry it up a little...


Use a mild gel....How to make straight hair wavy?
No need for fancy, expensive products. Take a shower at night rather than the morning, and after you take a shower, braid your hair. Sleep with the braids on and take them out in the morning. Your hair is guaranteed to stay wavy all day and never flattens (at least from my experiences).
get a perm but tell them you want waves not curls it'll end up as a afro puff
You could braid your hair and then take it out in the morning and hair spray it. I used to do that almost every day when I had longer hair...
before you jump for a perm try rollers. Make sure to use products with this. Hot rollers usually work the best, or buy the velcro rollers and use a low setting blow dryer to help dry them. Before you take the rollers out hit them with cool air on your blow dryer. The cool air will close down your cuticles making the bounce better and last much longer.





Remember perms are pretty much permanent. The curl wont stay forever but the damage on your hair will.
You have several options. You could buy a triple barrel iron, this will take just as long as a curling iron but your hair will stay wavy for days. Any moose will also help make styling easier and last longer. You could also go the semi permanent route and get a perm. It can't really hurt since you straighten your hair everyday anyway.
