  1. Application

    • 1

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

    • 2

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

    • 3

      Apply volumizing mousse or styling cream from roots to ends.

    • 4

      Separate hair into three sections and clip two sections up.

    • 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

      Select a hot roller and fitting pin.

    • 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

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

    • 9

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

    Styling

    • 10

      Let the rollers set for 10 to 20 minutes.

    • 11

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

    • 12

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

    • 13

      Style as desired.

    • 14

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

    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.

    Before you roll your hair, fold the paper in half and spray with a water bottle, then roll. Your hair will have smooth ends. The hot curlers will dry the wet ends and the curl lasts.

    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!
