If you stop the car completely after bedding the brakes without letting them cooldown first, you will more than likely wave your disks.

That's close to the right method. You want to repeat these braking events (60 - 10mph) about 8 times with no cooling off in between. And allow a few minutes of cruising afterward, to allow the brakes to cool down to the point that you can safely come to a complete stop without causing problems.
If you come to a complete stop during the bedding process, you won't "wave" or "warp" the rotors. What you will do is leave a pad imprint on the rotors. This imprint results in a thickness variation that causes brake judder on subsequent stops.
The process is explained in gory detail here:
