While the provided reference offers a glimpse into using Velcro rollers, it doesn't give a comprehensive guide. Here's a general guide on how to put roller curlers in your hair for adding volume and curls:
Preparing Your Hair
- Wash and Condition: Start with clean, conditioned hair. Using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner can help.
- Towel Dry: Gently towel dry your hair until it's damp, not soaking wet.
- Apply Product: Use a mousse, setting lotion, or volumizing spray to help the curls hold and provide heat protection. Distribute evenly.
Rolling Your Hair
- Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into sections depending on the size of the rollers and the desired curl pattern. Typically, you'll want sections that are roughly the same width as the rollers. Start at the top of your head and work your way down.
- Placement for Volume (as hinted in the reference): For maximum volume at the roots, as the YouTube video suggests, keep the rollers upwards and close to the scalp at the root.
- Rolling Technique:
- Hold a section of hair straight up or out.
- Place the roller at the ends of your hair section.
- Roll the hair smoothly and tightly around the roller, winding towards the scalp.
- Secure the roller in place using clips or pins, if necessary (depending on the type of roller). Velcro rollers usually stay in place on their own.
- Continue Rolling: Repeat the rolling process for each section of your hair.
- Direction: The direction you roll your hair will affect the final look. Rolling sections away from your face will give you more volume and a softer look. Alternating directions can create a more natural, less uniform curl pattern.
Drying and Setting
- Air Dry or Use a Hair Dryer: Allow your hair to air dry completely, or use a hooded hair dryer or a diffuser attachment on your regular hair dryer to speed up the process. Make sure your hair is completely dry before removing the rollers.
- Cool Down: Once your hair is dry, allow it to cool down completely with the rollers still in place. This helps to set the curls.
Removing Rollers
- Remove Gently: Carefully unroll each roller, being gentle to avoid pulling or tangling your hair.
- Style and Finish: Once all the rollers are removed, gently separate the curls with your fingers. Avoid using a brush, as this can make the curls frizzy. You can use a light hairspray to hold the style in place.
Additional Tips
- Roller Size: Use larger rollers for volume and loose waves and smaller rollers for tighter curls.
- Practice: It may take a few tries to get the hang of rolling your hair. Don't get discouraged if your first attempt isn't perfect.
- Experiment: Try different roller sizes and rolling techniques to find what works best for your hair type and desired style.
