ok so we've read plenty of posts here about tips and techniques of how to rollerset your hair just as it's done in a salon, so i won't repeat the basics. I purchased the milady textbook and i found a few extra tips about how to get a smoothe set so i thought i'd share. and also i'd like to say that this book doesn't even half-way compare to the knowledge that we collectively have on this site. I think that lhcf is truly the best learning tool any stylist could ever have. okay anyways....
okay so a rollercurl has 3 parts; the base which is the panel of hair on which the roller is placed, this should be the same length& width as the roller. The Stem is the hair between the hair and the first turn of the roller. The Curl is the hair that is wrapped around the roller.
okay so first of all, have you ever rollerset your hair and can't figure out why it doesn't have much body and movement? You must roller each rollers slightly forward of its base and after rolling the length, the roller should rest on its base. this forward rolling technique produces the most body/volume. and this roll also would flatten the roots.
if you were to roll it half- base which means you didnt not roll forward and the roller sits halfway on the base, this would produce a medium amount of body/volume.
If you were to roll it off base which means you roll it at slightly tilted toward the back and the stem would sit just at the back of the base, this produces the least bit of volume.
Also another important tip to remember is that when you clip the roller, it's important to secure the roller properly. A loose roller will lose its tension. If the clip is placed at an angle against the hair, the sharp metal edge can cause the hair to break. The clip should be positioned with one end under the roller and one end inside the roller
Also, just reinforcing what we already know: a fine-toothe comb must be used to smoothe the hair. Hair must be fully dry before taking out rollers or hair that is almost dry will begin to frizz up. The more tension (tight grip)you roll the hair, the straighter the set will be and the longer the set will last.
So i hope these tips help out those who still are still trying to perfect their technique (including myself).
Anyone else have any professional rollersetting tips to share??
