Step 1
Find a variety of hot rollers. You can find different sizes at any major retail or specialty beauty store. Make sure the hot rollers come in different sizes so you can create a variety of curls. Try to use the bigger set of hot rollers to achieve the big, wavy curls.

Step 2
Use the right hair products. There are literally hundreds of different hair products on the market that can help mold and shape your hair. Some of the best hair products to achieve big, wavy curls are found at a beauty store or department store. Tres Semme makes a great line of products for curls and waves. Also, brands like TIGI Bead Head and So Sexy Volumizer will help create the '70s waves you want. Make sure you find a product that won't make your hair stiff but will add body to your curls. Apply the product to your hair after you've brushed each section and make sure there aren't any tangles for the best kind of waves.

Step 3
Curl your hair. Once you've applied your hair product, you can put the rollers in. Start at the bottom of your hair and wrap the end around the roller. Then roll the hair up to the root. Clip the roller in place with a hair clip or barrette and go to the next section. Keep rolling your hair until all of the sections have been curled and are set in place. To make the process easier, divide your hair into small sections starting with the main divide down the middle.

Step 4
Unroll the curlers and style. Most people use curlers on dry hair, so you only have to keep the curlers in your hair for a couple of hours. Of course, it also depends on how well your hair takes a curl. Unroll each section before combing through the curls with your fingers. To keep the curls big and wavy, spray them with a volumizing hair spray.
