Instructions

    Application

  1. Step 1

    Plug in hot rollers and wait for it to heat up.

  2. Step 2

    Blow-dry clean hair straight. (See "How to Blow-Dry Hair Straight," under Related eHows.)

  3. Step 3

    Apply volumizing mousse or styling cream from roots to ends.

  4. Step 4

    Separate hair into three sections and clip two sections up.

  5. Step 5

    Use a comb to select a 2-inch section from the top of the unclipped hair. Comb it a few times to release any knots or tangles. Spray the section with a soft-hold hair spray.

  6. Step 6

    Select a hot roller and fitting pin.

  7. Step 7

    Place the roller 1 1/2 inches above the end of the separated section, and wrap the bottom of the strand around the roller.

  8. Step 8

    Roll upward toward the scalp so that the entire section of hair is wrapped around the roller.

  9. Step 9

    Secure the roller with a pin. Repeat until your entire head is in curlers.

  10. Styling

  11. Step 1

    Let the rollers set for 10 to 20 minutes.

  12. Step 2

    Remove the rollers by removing the pins or fasteners and gently letting each curl unravel. Repeat until all the curlers have been removed.

  13. Step 3

    Flip your hair over and gently run your fingers through your hair.

  14. Step 4

    Style as desired.

  15. Step 5

    Spray with extra-hold hair spray to prolong the life of your curls.

on 12/22/2008 Before you start to curl your hair, you want to straighten it with a straightening iron. After you do that, you get a 1/2 or 1 inch section of hair and you put hair spray on it and, using the curling iron, you roll it up and let it sit there for a while. This method holds your curls much better.

on 11/22/2005 Make sure your hair is squeaky clean and very dry before rolling, or your curls won't hold well.

on 11/22/2005 I wash my hair and then apply 4+4 volumizing mousse from the roots to the tips, and then I blow dry my hair (and If I have time), divide it into two or three sections then I spray each section with a volumizing hair spray.
For an even better curl you can spray each piece before you roll it on to the hot roller. It has worked very well for me and I hope it works for you! Remember to let the curlers completely cool before removing!

on 11/22/2005 We all no how much time it takes to blow dry your hair and then straighten it, especially if you have wavy hair. Now there is this new straightener called Wet 2 Straight. Aussie Sprunch spray is used to make your hair wavy, but it is like an extra strong hair spray. Spray it onto a hair brush, and then brush your hair. It really helps with reducing the frizzies.
