Rolling your hair with pillow rollers is a simple process for creating soft, voluminous curls. Here's how:
Getting Started
-
Prepare your hair: Start with clean, slightly damp hair. This will help the rollers set better. You may want to apply a styling product like mousse or setting lotion for extra hold.
-
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, while larger sections result in looser waves.
Rolling Techniques
The exact technique might vary slightly depending on the specific type of pillow roller, but the general steps are consistent:
-
Place the roller: Take a section of hair and place the open end of the pillow roller near the scalp.
-
Roll the hair: Begin rolling the hair tightly around the roller, working your way down to the ends. Ensure the hair is evenly distributed around the roller to prevent uneven curls.
-
Secure the roller: Once you reach the ends, close the roller using the snap closure (as mentioned in the provided video clip, "Cult Beauty - Kitsch - Satin Pillow Rollers - YouTube"). Make sure it's securely fastened.
Tips for Success
- Start at the roots: Rolling from the roots ensures that the entire length of your hair is curled, creating more volume.
- Use enough rollers: The more rollers you use, the more voluminous your curls will be. Don’t be afraid to use plenty of rollers, especially for thicker hair.
- Let them set: Leave the rollers in your hair for at least a few hours, or overnight for best results. The longer you leave them in, the longer lasting the curls will be.
- Gentle removal: Once the rollers are removed, gently separate the curls with your fingers. Avoid brushing, which can create frizz.
Different Styles and Variations
You can create different hairstyles by varying the size of the rollers and the direction you roll them. Experiment to find what works best for your hair type and desired look.
