Rolling your hair with pillow rollers is a simple process for creating soft, voluminous curls. Here's how:
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Pillow Rollers
-
Section your hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections. The size of the section will determine the size of your curls; smaller sections create tighter curls.
-
Place the roller: Take a section of hair and place the open end of the pillow roller near the roots.
-
Roll the hair: Starting at the ends, tightly roll the hair towards your scalp.
-
Secure the roller: Once the roller reaches your scalp, bend the roller to close and secure it using the snap closure (as seen in the reference video).
Tips for Success
- Start with damp hair: Slightly damp hair holds the curl better than dry hair.
- Use enough rollers: For maximum volume, use enough rollers to cover your entire head.
- Leave them in overnight: For best results, leave the rollers in overnight or for several hours.
- Gently remove the rollers: Once the rollers are removed, gently run your fingers through your hair to loosen the curls and add volume. Avoid brushing, which can make them frizzy.
Different Roller Sizes & Curl Types
The size of the pillow roller directly impacts the curl type achieved. Larger rollers create looser waves, while smaller rollers result in tighter curls. Experiment with different sizes to find your preferred style.
