How to Use Curling Rolls in Curly Hair

Curly hair can be a blessing but it doesn't always have the fullness that you might desire for more glamorous hairstyles. In order to add more fullness to your crowning glory, you need to change the tight curly hair to loose rolls. The larger curlers open up the curl and give abundant fullness.

Things You'll Need

• Comb
• Styling gel
• Large curling rolls
• Clips

Instructions

1. Pull your hair back and leave one section to the front. Section the hair so that you can put a workable amount of curly hair into rolls. Don't put too much on a roller at a time.

2. Pull the section of hair straight out. Apply styling gel onto the section and slide it down the shaft of hair. You need to adequately moisten the length but not so much that it won't dry easily or be too stiff.

3. Hold the hair in one hand and slide a large roller under the tip. Stick the moistened hair to the roller and roll toward the scalp, turning the hair under.

4. Secure the roller with a clip. Open the clip and slide half inside the roller and half catching the hair beneath the roller. This prevents the hair from unrolling and allows you to begin on the next shank of hair in that section. Continue until all the hair you sectioned off is done.

5. Let the rest of the hair down and section off another part. Continue as you did for the first section of hair. When this is done continue for the balance of the hair.

6. Allow the styling gel to dry completely before removing the pins. You will be amazed at the loose curl and how it tamed your curly hair into large rolls. Style the full bouncy hair any glamorous way you want.

Tips & Warnings

• The large barrel rollers work best. If possible try to get a size that won't allow the hair to wrap around it more than twice.

• For a very relaxed style, cans with both ends cut out or orange juice cans can be washed and used in place of rollers.
