How To Do Just About Everything
Curls are pretty, fun and a little sassy. They're easy to achieve and are sure to win you a slew of compliments. If you've never curled your hair yourself before, this eHow will guide you how to do it successfully.
Blow-dry clean hair straight. (See "How to Blow-Dry Hair Straight," under Related eHows.)
Apply volumizing mousse or styling cream from roots to ends.
Use a comb to select a 2-inch section from the top of the unclipped hair. Comb it a few times to release any knots or tangles. Spray the section with a soft-hold hair spray.
Place the roller 1 1/2 inches above the end of the separated section, and wrap the bottom of the strand around the roller.
Roll upward toward the scalp so that the entire section of hair is wrapped around the roller.
Secure the roller with a pin. Repeat until your entire head is in curlers.

on 12/15/2006 Hot Rollers:
hot rollers can achieve a full head of flawless curls, typically in under an hour. Hot rollers generally have a small amount of wax inside that is heated when the set is plugged into an electrical outlet. When the curlers are ready for use, the color may change color so that you know to begin applying them.
Forget about fighting with the curling iron and trying to decide which way you want the curl to spiral. Instead, enjoy the remarkably easy process with hot rollers-once you have fastened the curlers in your hair, your hair will all curl simultaneously!
It is still a good idea to use some styling products such as a non-sticky hairspray or gel to retain the shape of the curls. (Curls formed by hot rollers tend to last considerably longer for me than those I create with a curling iron, as my hair is typically resistant to curling in general.)
Tip for Hot Rollers: Try to wash your hair the night before you want to employ the hot rollers. Sometimes very clean, sleek hair tends to resist curling.
Time Involved: Hot Rollers may take about 10 minutes to warm up and anywhere from 10-20 minutes to apply, and about 15 minutes to set. (Color of curler will revert back to original color to indicate that the curl has set.) Add additional time as necessary for styling your locks if you intend to use barrettes, bobby pins or other adornments and styling products.

on 8/17/2006 To get your curls to last extra long, spray them with hairspray while they're still in the rollers, right before you take the rollers out. Once you have taken the rollers out, spray your hair with another light mist of hairspray.

on 8/8/2006 If you don't have hot rollers, all you need to do is use aluminum foil. To do so; take about a 1" wide and about 6" long piece of aluminum foil and twist it so it looks like a stick. Then all you have to do is roll your hair on it and twist both ends of the foil together. Leave on overnight or at least 2 hours. Make sure you put hair spray on your hair while the foil is in place.
