Putting in roller curlers involves sectioning your hair, rolling each section around a curler, and securing it. The exact technique depends on the type of curler and desired style, but here's a general guide based on the reference video regarding velcro rollers and root volume:
Here's a breakdown of how to use velcro rollers, focusing on root volume as highlighted in the provided video snippet:
-
Prepare Your Hair: Your hair should be damp or dry. Some people prefer slightly damp hair for better hold. You can use a styling product like mousse or setting lotion to help the curls last longer.
-
Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into sections. The size of the sections will determine the size and tightness of your curls. For root volume, focus on the sections at the crown of your head.
-
Roll the Hair: Take a section of hair and hold it taut. Starting at the ends, begin rolling the hair around the roller towards your scalp. For maximum root volume, the reference video emphasizes upward placement and setting the root. Aim to keep the roller as close to the scalp as possible at the root of the hair section.
-
Secure the Roller: Velcro rollers usually grip the hair themselves.
-
Repeat: Continue rolling sections of hair until all your hair is in rollers.
-
Dry Your Hair: Allow your hair to air dry completely, or use a hooded dryer or a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer to speed up the process.
-
Remove the Rollers: Once your hair is completely dry, gently unroll the rollers. Avoid pulling or tugging on your hair, as this can cause frizz and breakage.
-
Style Your Hair: After removing the rollers, you can style your hair as desired. Use your fingers to gently separate the curls and add volume. You can also use hairspray to hold the style in place.
Here's a summary table for quick reference:
