The shape of one’s hair is determined by the shape of the hair follicle and the hair shaft. Some people have straight hair, some are blessed with soft waves and some have curly hair. Let’s face it, things like these help to make people unique. We all have different hair types just like anything else on our bodies. There comes a time when we need a change in our appearance and specifically our hairstyles.
It is only natural for women especially to want to change their hairstyle. For women who are not blessed with curly locks, it is hard to get those little rings in the hair that they want so badly. They go to extremes to achieve curly hair sometimes with success, at other times its nothing but a waste of time. Here are some ways of gaining curly hair:
Using Rollers
Materials:
- Rollers
- Mousse
Tools
- Blow Dryer
- Comb
Directions:
- After washing your hair blow dry in sections combing the hair throughout the process. Blow dry until most of the water in the hair has been removed. Do not over dry.
- Apply mousse in the palm of your hands and rub into your hair. Comb through for even distribution.
- Part the hair in small sections. Choose the size rollers that you desire based on the type of curls you want. Small rollers will give you tight curls while larges rollers will produce soft, bouncy curls.
- Roll each small section on a roller all the way to roots and snap on the cover. Continue until all the hair has been wrapped on rollers. Leave overnight or sit under a dryer until dry.
Tips:
- There are various types of rollers you my use to curl your hair. There are hot rollers that can be used on dry hair or wet hair. They work faster and are less time consuming. There are also foam rollers that are very easy to use and most importantly, they are quite comfortable to sleep in if you wear your rollers overnight. There are also flexible rollers that can bend at any angle. These produce curls that are small and tight.
