Instructions

Rolling hair

1. Wash your hair and towel dry. It should be damp but not dripping. Bend over so that your head is upside down. Rub a golf ball size amount of mouse between your hands. Apply to the roots first, running your fingers from your roots to the hair ends.

2. Blow dry your hair with a large round brush. All-metal brushes work best. Clip up the top layers of your hair and dry the bottom layer. Once that is complete, remove the clipped hair and use the round brush to dry the top layer.

3. Separate your hair into four sections. Section 1 will be the crown, approximately 2 inches wide. Next, follow with the left and right sides, and then the back. Use hair clips to secure the sections.

4. Start at the crown, and use a comb to gather 1/3 of the section. Hold the hair tight, and starting at the end of the hair, roll the roller under until it touches your scalp. Secure the roller with a clip. Continue this process until you have rolled all four sections. Each section should have three rollers.

5. Let the rollers sit in your hair for 20 minutes. Starting at the bottom of your head, slowly unroll each of the rollers. Once you have removed all the rollers, flip your head upside down and use your fingers to gently brush the curls. Next, stand up straight and slowly shake your hair into place.

6. Use the round brush to gently brush your hair from the roots to the ends. Apply a medium-hold hairspray over the hair. Keep the amount of spray light; your hair should look touchable.

Tips & Warnings

• If the curls don't hold, keep your hair slightly damp when you roll and dry with the blow dryer. You can use gel instead of mousse if you prefer.

• Rolling hair perfectly takes practice. If not clipped securely, the rollers might fall out.
