There are dozens of types of rollers....spiral, krinkled, big, small. The technique is important , but easy.
Supplies Needed Rollers
Setting Lotion
Rat-tail comb
Small brush
Overhead dryer
Hair pins
1) Wash/condition hair.
*Massage some moisturizer into hair.
2) Comb and part. Quickly section off first piece, spray with setting lotion to wet, smooth piece with a rat tail comb, and roll starting at end, rolling tightly and secure with pin (if needed). Try the rolling papers for an even smoother, more professional finish.
3) Finish your whole head as quickly as possible, to avoid letting your hair air-dry before you finish.
4) Prewarm dryer. Sit under hot dryer for 2 hours. The longer your hair is, the longer you have to sit.
Also, for longer hair, use more rollers. There are many types of rollers, find out which ones are more suitable for longer hair.
5) Style as desired.
How you roll the hair (technique) is important. Do not put too much hair in a roller. It won't dry right, plus you will get that "line" at the top of the hair, and it won't be smooth.
Having your ends evenly clipped is a must! Particulary with this style. Otherwise it won't come out right.
Purchase a small spray bottle, it comes in handy a lot. The set lotion may or may not come in a spray bottle.
Healthy Hair Tips
1) You are what you eat. Your diet should consist of healthy foods that are rich in vitamins and nutrients, which are necessary for the growth of your hair.
2) Keep your hair clean. Wash it once a week followed by a deep protein conditioner to strengthen the hair shaft.
3) Apply leave-in moisturizer to the hair often. This is especially important if your hair is relaxed or color-treated. Hair moisturizers help to prevent excessive dryness and breakage of the hair.
4) Avoid tight braids ponytails, and weaves, which can lead to hair loss. These hair styles should be taken out in eight weeks to allow the hair to relax.
5) When relaxing your hair, remember to base the entire scalp to avoid scalp irritation. Pay special attention to the edges of the hair line, and protect the fine hairs.
6) Do not scratch or injure your scalp prior to any chemical treatment.
7) Relax your hair only every eight weeks. Frequent hair relaxing can over-process the hair and cause breakage.
8) Avoid multiple chemical treatments at the same time. For example, if you relax your hair, do not color your hair the same day. You must wait two weeks in between each treatment.
