What are fingerwaves used for in hairstyling?

Straightening the hair
Shaping and directing hair into 's' shaped waves
Increasing hair volume
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.
