How To Curl Hair With Hot Rollers

Hot rollers are an excellent way to learn how to curl hair. They take your normally straight, frizzy, or un-styled hair and add body, life, and manageability to your hair.

First you blow dry your hair straight by using a round brush and brushing from the underneath of the hair while blowing each section dry. You then add volumizing mousse or styling gel from the roots to the ends to give it the extra lift you need.

Here is how to curl your hand by sections. Separate your hair into three sections and while using just one of those sections, you clip the other two sections up. Using a comb, select a 2-inch section from the top of your unclipped hair and comb it to make sure you are free from knots or tangles. Spray a soft hold hair spray to make sure it stays in place.

After making sure your rollers are hot enough you select a roller and fitting pin. Place the roller about 1 ½ inches above the end of the section and wrap the bottom of the strand around the roller. You simply roll upwards towards the scalp so that the entire section is wrapped around the roller. Secure it with a rolling pin and repeat until your entire head is in curlers. You have now curled your hair and you can wait the recommended time that the directions on the hot roller say, or you can improvise to try new amounts of curls.

Advanced Technique:

If you are looking for how to curl your hair with spiral curls then after you spray the soft hold hairspray you want to twist your hair before rolling it up, making it as tight or as loose as you want so that when the rollers come out you will have spiral curls..

You can change how you curl your hair by using larger or skinnier rollers to make either large and bouncy curls or tighter smaller curls.
