Velcro rollers are a great styling tool for boosting volume and setting loose curls while keeping frizz to a minimum. Velcro rollers vary in size, stick to the hair without pins and are fairly gentle to hair if used correctly.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

    Boost Volume

  1. Step 1

    Use Velcro rollers on dry hair. Mist hair with volumizing spray or apply mousse before you roll each piece.

  2. Step 2

    Separate hair into sections and roll each section straight up until they rest securely against your head. Pin or secure with a clip if they start falling.

  3. Step 3

    Blow dry hair on medium heat for about 5 minutes and then allow hair to cool.

  4. Step 4

    Unroll the Velcro roller exactly as you rolled it. If you pull straight down your hair could get tangled in the roller.

  5. Step 5

    Use a wide tooth comb to separate curls and arrange hair.

  6. Create Curls

  7. Step 1

    Dry hair thoroughly. Spray with spray gel, hair spray or mousse, and then curl hair with a large barrel curling iron.

  8. Step 2

    After curling each section, roll it into a Velcro roller right up to the scalp and pin in place if needed.

  9. Step 3

    Blow dry hair for at least 5 minutes.

  10. Step 4

    Wait another 20 minutes and then unroll the curlers in the same way that you rolled them to avoid tangles.

  11. Step 5

    Separate and style with a wide tooth comb, and add pomade or styling cream to the ends for more definition.

  12. Control Frizz

  13. Step 1

    Blow dry hair thoroughly and apply an anti-frizz cream or styling cream.

  14. Step 2

    Iron hair with a flat iron in sections going from the base of the skull to your forehead.

  15. Step 3

    Separate hair into sections and roll Velcro rollers to scalp. Spray the ends of each section with a good shine spray or anti-frizz spray.

  16. Step 4

    Blow dry for about 5 minutes.

  17. Step 5

    Leave rollers in for about 20 minutes and then carefully unroll in the same direction you rolled each curler. Use a fine tooth comb to keep frizz down.

  18. Step 6

    Separate the sections with the comb and apply more styling cream or a texturizing cream to the ends for more definition, or spritz with a finishing spray.
