How to Curl Hair With Hot Rollers.

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!
