1
Choose hair rollers that meet the needs of your hair type. Use Velcro rollers for thick hair, plastic rollers for damaged hair or heated rollers for fine hair.

Use bobby pins to hold slick plastic rollers in place. Heated rollers come with U-shaped pins and Velcro rollers are self-adhering.

Opt for the largest rollers if you want a hairstyle that features body without curl. Use the smallest rollers in the pack to create masses of curls.
-
4
Separate sections of hair for each roller with a comb. Roll larger sections of hair for styles that emphasize body. Separate hair into many sections for more curls.
-
5
Twist each section of hair before rolling into the curler to create corkscrew-like curls. Grasp a section of hair by the end, twist it until it tightens and roll the twisted hair into the curler.
-
6
Spray each section of hair with a light misting of hair spray for lasting hold. Skip this step if you applied gel or mousse to hair while it was damp, but pass a hair dryer over the curled hair to set the style.

7
Sleep with curlers for wake-up-and-go hairstyles. Use a hair net to prevent the curlers from dragging on your pillow.
