Well first and foremost does your hair atleast have a little bit of a natural wave to it. If you have fine thin straight hair, I'm not so sure you can.
But..heres what I do...

Towl dry your hair after you just washed it. Put in some volumizing mousse, I do two squirt, but it depends on how long your hair is..mine is below my shoulder blades. Anyways, brush the mousse through your hair then I take the damp towl and put it around my head and scrunch my hair w/ the towl. If you dont mind it a wet for a little while I hairspray it and go. Or you can pin it up a little in little twisty buns and take a blowdryer on cool air and blowdry it a little. Not till its completely dry though. And dont brush your hair, or it will wreck it.

There is a curing iron made by Conair that has a ridge going around it in a spiral from top to bottom that will make waves. I liked it, but my hair is too short to use it. They also make another one that has 3 barrels, with one of them offset, that is supposed to wave, however it made indentations in my hair. Hope this helps!

to get really volumous wavy hair, the best thing to use is a curl creme (i use the one by pantene) and volumizing mouse.

then here's the trick!!!

use a diffuser to dry your hair. if you dont have one and dont want to buy one, just take a pair of panty hose or mesh undies and cover the end of your blowdryer with them and rubber band them so they stay. this works just as well as a diffuser and is so much cheaper!!! (be sure to use it on the low, warm settings) hope this helps

hey, this may sound a bit simplistic, but I have hair down past my waist and when I want to give it some body and soft waves: I wash it, brush it, and then wait untill its almost dry. Then I rub in a little mousse and a high, tight braid on each side of my head. Sonetimes I do just one braid. Then I sleep on it or leave it in for at least a few hours. When I take it down it's wonderful! Full, bouncy and natural looking, without much styling. Its great. You can either brush it out gently to get a fuller, slightly poofy look or just leave it like it is. Bend over, flip your hair over and shake it, then use a little hairspray but not much. TA DA, great waves. Let us know how it goes.
