The only wave iron thats ever worked for me has been a marcel (in a salon) and i wouldnt mess with those. These scunci wave clips work under a dryer.http://www.scunci.com/product_detail.aspx?gid=17&pid=9999999999
Super hard to find, I got some on ebay a couple of years ago...

I agree with the others the braidout seems better to do.
When I first saw the girls hair I thought it was a braidout..

Those wave clips look interesting. Do you have to put at least 2 together in order to wave the entire length of your hair? Do they pull out any hair?

I gave away my wave iron about 7 years ago. Too much darn heat for me.

i just think the youtube comment that her hair is short is funny. yt people's version of short and our version of short are a world's away from each other. she looks to be about APL or BSL.

well for me... i am a perfectionist...
swiping with a flat iron a few quick times and then wrapping it keeps it straight...
with this wave iron, you have to use a spritzy moussey product to make it hold... which usually causes dryness...
if you add moisture the waves frizz up...
and then the next day, you may not have waves at all, so you gotta go back and sizzle your hair some more...

My daughter has one of those. It definitely works. She got it at Ulta for $25 and sometimes it goes on sale.

I have used it before. If my hair is already straight I will use it and it gives me the coolest waves. I've only done it twice because I'm terrified of heat damage.

I love SaraVictor!

But anyway, I wouldnt use a wave iron, when you can get similar results from a twistout. That iron is definitely more damaging than a flatiron (i only use 1 pass, and MAYBE one quick pass after that) and probably more damaging than a curling iron, because you have to hold it to your hair to let the wave form. Plus it looks like it would take forever!

I use a wave iron. But I do my hair in about 4-6 sections only. I don't like a pronunced wave. It gives my hair wave, but with fluff. For me its less heat than a flat iron. My braidouts always look like CRAP, not matter how I do them. erplexed

I have two waving irons, but my favorite is by Gold N' Hot. It's $29 at Ulta...I do agree you can get the same result with a braidout or twistout. I normally use the waver after day three of a braidout/twistout, it kind of revives the look.

ETA-It only takes me about 20 minutes to do my entire head, I don't leave the crimper still long. If you already have some sort of wave pattern from a braidout/twistout you don't need a lot of heat.

I added a pic, I had just used my waver on an old braidout. This is my favorite style.

I havent used them much but they never ever pulled any hair out, although they are pretty heavy. Yes, you need to probably use one large one and one middle sized and maybe the single wave one on the end. They hold a decent amount of hair though..... so a couple of packs is enough for a whole head if I recall correctly..

I like using Macherieamours beach wave tutorial on youtube for getting waves without heat.

See pic below for results.

I've done waves with a small flat iron.. it looked really good.. but I am sure my hair hated me for it. Like its been said.. i am sure braids would give the same effect minus the heat damage.

True.
Ive used a flatiron when i was in a rush.
I braided my hair into 4 sections.
and i put the flat iron on 12 and clamped them and they came out crimpy
HAHA i had an event to be at.
