My hair is pin straight and doesn't curl unless its braided. Usually I french braid my hair into two different braids when its wet and sleep on it and take them out in the morning. But in the morning they're really small curls and it makes my hair poofy. How do I make my hair look a little wavy? Please help!

Ok first I would make sure your hair is not super wet when you braid it. It's better when it is damp. also braid your hair in 1 to 2 inch pieces and really insecure with an elastic Balaban.

Your welcome. And also get either an Aragan or Moroccan oil to help with the frizz.

You could put your hair in braids then run a straightener over them, you'll get waves but not huge ones.

What you do is put your hair in 2 or4 braids depending on how big you want your waves then run a straightener over your braids and take out the braids then you should have waves.
