If your hair is not quite the way you want it, you can work with it to try to increase the wave. You can add more styling products, such as mousse, gel, or styling cream, and then scrunch. This may add more waves. If your waves are too tight, try running your fingers through them, or brushing them gently. This will help soften the wave.
