Today, I got up and decided to go for a different look, just for the day. I wanted just a nice, soft wave to my hair, like some authentic California 'beach hair', so I tried the 'Scrunch' technique...
So I headed over to the bathroom, got my hair damp, got out some hair-gel, and sectioned my hair off...
I got the gel, and 'scrunched' sections of my hair off, one at a time, and then as I was done with the lower layer, I went to the upper layer, did the same thing, then got out the hair dryer (with diffuser), put that on LOW, and went over my hair for just a few secs, then cold shot to 'hold it'.......
I thought this would work. I thought it would be cool for a day, to get out of the ordinary look...some of my girl-friends with long hair have done it, and it looks kool....but for me...
after about a few minutes...the wave went flat, and all over the back of my head got all poofy...I thought this would really work, since I have at least some wave in my hair...I don't know....anyone got suggestions on doing this?
(PS: Im not going to even get close to a curling iron, I dont want it curly....it takes too long on my hair...and i dont wanna burn it on accident...)
Thanks all,
Peace,

What I've done for years and works well for me is to plan for this look first of all.. The night before I will get my hair damp with some leave in conditioner, twist it up in a bun and sleep it dry.. in the morning it's dry and has a great, all day lasting wave! You can brush it for a softer look or just shake it enough to give it body and leave the waves tighter.. I don't do it as much as I used to as I can't keep people OUT of my hair! :-O
I always put my hair in a bun after washing, it gives me great waves indeed!
