How to Curl Hair Like Vanessa Hudgens

Actress Vanessa Hudgens, known for the Disney "High School Musical" movies, always looks her best when at awards shows or out on the town. While she has a team to help her get ready, her hairstyle can be easily re-created at home. This hairstyle is good for any girl or woman with long hair.

Instructions

1. Apply your favorite styling mousse to hair after washing while it is still wet. Use enough mousse to cover all strands.

2. Create a right side part using a comb. Start at about the center of the right eye and go back. If this does not work for your hair, a left part can be used as well.

3. Use a large round brush to blow-dry the hair. This hair will be dried straight back in small sections, starting at the nape of the neck.

4. Proceed to the sides of the head, blow-drying hair out straight. Once this hair is dry, begin on the hair in front of the face. Dry this hair up and to the left to create more workable hair.

5. Heat up large hot rollers and begin to roll the hair on the back of the head. This hair will be rolled under. The hair on the nape of the neck will be rolled vertically. Continue on the side of the head until all hair is rolled. Keep rollers in until they are cool.

6. Remove hot rollers and style hair with wax or pomade. Scrunch the ends of the hair to set curls. Add volume to roots with wax or styling product of choice. Finish off with hairspray to hold the hairstyle for the night.

Tips & Warnings

• If there are not enough hot rollers for the entire head, work from back to front in stages, reheating rollers each time.

• Have a friend help if rolling hair on the back of your head is tricky.

• Don't apply hot rollers to wet hair.
