After completing a finger wave service, how should the hair be before it is taken down?

For a finger wave service, the hair should be thoroughly dry before being taken down. This is important because the styling involves shaping the hair into waves using a specific technique that requires the hair to hold its form once dried. If the hair remains damp or wet, it may collapse or lose its shape when handled, causing the final result to be less defined or completely unraveled.

Additionally, applying hair spray too soon or using hair that is not fully dried can lead to a lack of stability in the final wave structure. It is essential to ensure that the hair retains the wave pattern after the setting has been completed, which is only achievable when the hair is completely dry.
