Clip off a section as wide as the roller down the center of your head, forehead to neck, like a mohawk.
Ridiculous !!

1.
Clip off a section as wide as the roller down the center of your head, forehead to neck, like a mohawk.
2.
Separate the remaining side hair to make two sections parted behind the ear.
3.
If you have bangs, clip them out of your way and grab your first section. Use the diameter of the roller as a guide for the width of your sections.
4.
Spray each section individually with a thermal setting spray for extra hold and heat protection.
5.
Wrap the ends over the roller and down to your scalp. Careful, they're hot.
6.
Most hot roller sets include u-shaped pins to hold the roller in place. They don't work very well. For a for a few dollars you can get a set of plastic roller clamps at the beauty supply store and life will be much simpler.
7.
I like to use the largest rollers in my crown and the smaller rollers around the perimeter of my hair. You can alternate the sizes throughout or use them at random. It doesn't make a huge difference in the end, but those big, fatty rollers like to fall out if they're on the bottom.
8.
Place two or three rollers in each side section. Try parting the front on a diagonal and roll the curls toward or away from your face.
9.
Spray the set evenly with a working hairspray.
10.
Clearly this does not have to be precise.
awesome job,I do this daily but thanks for the tip with the clips DAH to m…

Style your bangs, brush your teeth and do your make up while you wait for the rollers to cool completely.
12.
Test a curl and make sure they have cooled down before taking down all of the rollers.
Way more work than necessary to section off hair

If you are wearing your hair up, now is the time to start pinning it into shape without breaking up the curls.
15.
Use a small amount of smoothing oil to add shine and eliminate frizz.
This is important.....but not every time

Work it around in your hands first. Otherwise, you will have a nice greasy spot in the first place you touch your hair.
17.
rake your hands through the curls, concentrating the product mainly on your ends.
18.
Use a brush with natural bristles to soften and smooth out the curl
19.
Piece out the ends and define a few random strands with your fingertips.
20.
Finish with a movable hairspray.
Ooh, la-la!
Hot rollers are my favorite fix on a bad hair day. Follow these easy steps to get lots of volume and soft curls with no stress.

Does anybody know what brand of rollers these are?
be the first to like this.I LOVE hot rollers. They're quick and easy and I get the most compliments on my hair when I've rolled it.
I've been using Conair curler set since I was about 10, I'm 33 now, and I've owned about 3 sets in that time. I think it's a great and affordable brand that works and lasts.
Also, I noticed the author did this, and it's important to mention: Use the "U" shaped pins to secure the rollers at the front because the plastic clips can leave a crimp which is noticeable at the front.
Also, I really never use product with rollers, maybe just a thermal cream/spray to protect the hair before I put the rollers in, I think it depends on your hair.
I'm gonna go set my hair now...
I've been using hot rollers of every style, type, size since the 70's & they are wonderful but it's not necessary to "section" off hair, use a comb, wrap hair & figure out what look you like, want, need & you can set hair in 2-3 minutes & cool for 5 minutes while brushing teeth & hair is done. Don't make a simple job harder............KISS !! (Keep it simple stupid is my motto!)

be the first to like this.I got a set of Conair hot rollers at Bed, Bath & Beyond. They work great!
be the first to like this.Thanks for the how to and great pictures! This will help lots of people. I have a Conair compact set from the big discount store and was only about $15. They take a bit to warm up, maybe 8+ minutes, but they work great. Just like the ones my mom had in the 70's 80's! I agree with Paula, you don't have to fuss much with parting and planning, just get em in there and when you unroll, you'll have smooth yummy curls. I'm going to get the plastic clips they look lots easier. Dawn
be the first to like this.Nice job but I also agree with Paula Owens. You really don't have to be that precise with hot rollers. As for the clips, I use the regular hair holding clips like we all use to keep our hair up on a bad hair day. The kind you get at local discount stores like Target/Walmart. I have found they work best for me and they are fairly cheap. My biggest problem is Im
