If you want it curly, you may try doing double stranded twists then wrap the twist around itself and secure with a bobby pin.
If you want it more wavy, just take the section of hair and twist it around itself and secur ewith a bobby pin.
You may do it on dry or wet hair...I find mine come out better on wet hair and my ends curl more...b/c my hair takes a while to dry, I try to do them either earlier in the day or make sure that I have at least an hour or two the next day b/f I take them out...and voila - I get a great curly do!
You may also try flat twisting from the front to the back and then wrapping the end of each twist around itself and secure with a bobby pin - this produces a great curly/wavy look (depending how many flat twists you do) too - and is quick and easy.
Although I'm natural, I think it will work for relaxed 4a/b hair.
Hope this helps!

This is exactly how I did mine through my transition and now with all natural hair.
If you want to see what your hair will look like natural...this is an excellent style for it.
You would need to make small knots. I use shea butter to hold and moisturize by twist and the style last me now at least 2 days maybe 3. By the 3rd day (if you are natural) you can dampen your hair with water or spritz with some type of leave in conditioner and the curls will turn into coils.
I believe with all my heart this style helped me transition as long as I did...because my natural roots weren't being forced to do something by the way of heat or a blow dryer. I was able to keep my permed ends for 7 months and some naturals have been able to go longer than a year doing a similar style.
The step by step style instructions are in my transition album. Feel free to take a look. PW: In Transition
