What are fingerwaves used for in hairstyling?

  1. Straightening the hair

  2. Shaping and directing hair into 's' shaped waves

  3. Increasing hair volume

  4. Creating temporary hair color

The correct answer is: Shaping and directing hair into 's' shaped waves

Fingerwaves are used in hairstyling to shape the hair into 's' shaped waves. Option A is incorrect because fingerwaves do not straighten the hair, they add texture and shape to it. Option C is incorrect because fingerwaves do not increase volume, instead they create the appearance of waves and movement in the hair. Option D is also incorrect because fingerwaves do not create temporary hair color, they are solely used for shaping and directing the hair into waves.
