How to Use Rollers for Hair

Hair rollers can be used to create beautiful hairstyles that can turn flat, plain hair into bouncy, full, Hollywood hair. If you have never used hair rollers, it may be intimidating to try and figure out how to place the rollers correctly in your hair. Luckily, rolling hair can be easy and fast once you follow a few simple guidelines. Here is a guide to using hair rollers.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Heated Hair Rollers
• Hair Roller Pins
• Hairdryer
• Spray Gel
• Hairspray
• Comb
• Brush
• Towel

1. 

   Plug in your heated rollers and let them heat up while you wash your hair. Wash your hair thoroughly and wring out as much water as your can from your hair. Proceed to towel dry your hair with a thick, absorbent towel. Spray a little bit of gel onto the roots of your hair. Comb out the tangles from your hair. Using a hairdryer, dry your hair over medium heat until your hair is completely dry.

2. 

   Brush your hair and part it as usual. Once your rollers are hot enough, take out one of the rollers from the roller holder. Separate a 2-inch section of your hair at the top of your head and wrap the ends of the hair around one of the rollers. Curl the roller up the hair, tucking the ends inside the rolled hair. Continue to roll until you reach the roots of the hair. Pin the roller to your head using one of the hair roller pins. Continue to roll the hair in 2-inch sections until your entire head is rolled.

3. 

   Keep the rollers in your hair until the rollers feel cool. Then, carefully unpin and unwrap the rollers from your hair, one at a time. Place the rollers back into the holder, along with the pins. Once all of the rollers are out of your hair, flip your hair upside down and separate the hair with your fingers. Return your hair to its original upright position and spray your hair lightly with hairspray.

Tips & Warnings

• Never plug in heated rollers next to a sink or bathtub. Never use heated rollers around children. Remember to unplug your heated rollers when you are finished rolling your hair.
