Divide the hair on the very top of your head into 3 sections: at the front, in the middle and at the back of the crown. Start with the front section and hold your hair completely straight. Spritz hairspray on the hair before taking the largest hot roller and rolling the hair toward the scalp. Repeat for the remaining sections.

Split the side layers of hair into 5 sections, beginning just above one ear and continuing across the back of the head to the other ear. Hold small sections of the hair straight, apply hairspray and roll toward the scalp. Make sure you roll each section of your hair in the same direction. Depending on the thickness and amount of hair, additional or fewer sections may be needed.

Tips & Warnings
Use only your fingers to comb through your hair after you remove the rollers.
Larger roller barrels will give you less curl. Smaller roller barrels will give you tighter curls.
Handle hot rollers along the edges to prevent burns.
