Achieve beautiful curls using foam rollers by following these simple steps.
Preparing Your Hair
Before you begin, ensure your hair is clean and slightly damp. This will help the curls set better. Applying a styling product like mousse or setting lotion can also enhance curl hold.
Rolling Your Hair
-
Sectioning: Divide your hair into manageable sections. The size of the section will determine the size of your curl. Smaller sections create tighter curls, while larger sections result in looser waves.
-
Rolling Technique: Place the roller at the end of a section of hair, near the tips. Roll the roller upwards towards your scalp, ensuring all hair is smoothly tucked in. As mentioned in the referenced video, “You don't want any little hairs left behind.” This is crucial for even, neat curls.
-
Securing: Once the roller reaches your scalp, secure it with the provided clips.
-
Repeating: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all sections of your hair.
Drying and Removing Rollers
-
Air Drying: For a gentler approach, allow your hair to air dry completely. This usually takes several hours.
-
Heat Styling (Optional): You can speed up the process by using a hair dryer. Direct the dryer towards the rollers, gently warming them for a few minutes.
-
Removing Rollers: Once your hair is completely dry, carefully unclip and remove the rollers. Gently separate the curls with your fingers to avoid creating a stiff look.
Styling Your Curls
After removing the rollers, you can gently brush or comb through your curls for a softer look, or leave them as they are for a more defined, bouncy curl. You can also use a light hairspray to set your style and add shine.
