'How To' For loose curls <3333

I got a few requests for how I got my hair to curl for the shower and figured i'd post in case anyone is interested. I know alot of girls get intimidated by rollers and I promise you, it is the easiest thing EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

First off, invest in Hot Rollers....I LOVE THEM! Not the new ones that are spongey, I love the old fashioned plastic rollers if you can find them (Larger ones, not tight curls).

Start off with your hair just dried regular, don't dry it straight. I usually throw some Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner, it's called 'The Conditioner' and some Biosilk, but you can use whatever you like. It usually works better if I wash my hair the night before, easier to work with.

Take your hair in sections, it doesn't have have to perfect or measured.....Just take chunks and wrap them in the rollers. Don't wrap them all the way to your scalp, just above half way so the bottoms are wavy. Let it sit for about 15 minutes til they cool.

As you take the rollers out, blast the curls with a little hair spray and when all the rollers are out, give the curls an overall blast of hair spray.

If I have time, I take my hair straightener and straighten the front pieces a little but not necessary or if i'm going somewhere nice I take a regular curling iron and fix a few pieces but it's totally NOT necessary.

I think the most important thing is to find a good hairspray that moves but holds...I like sebastian.

It seems so much harder than it is....Hot Rollers are the best. If it's a bad hair day, I sometimes just throw them in my hair and get in the car for work, pull them out by the time I get there and it's done.

Let me know if anyone tries it!

They Rock AND................I just realized that I admitted to being the Crazy Lady in town that drives around with rollers in her hair!

thanks for sharing I forgot about those rollers my mom is a hairdresser and use to do my hair like that - your hair really did come out nice and it is so long.. my hair takes forever to grow

Thank you for this!!! You rock!

Thanks for the post!!! I was going to attempt to do my own curls for a wedding on Saturday but I made an appointment already since I felt like I wouldnt do a good job.. I'll have to practice with your directions.. THanks

I have always been more comfortable working with rollers. I'm not too good with a curling iron. I've been meaning to play around with my hot rollers. I just don't have time during the week. So, you're the crazy lady I saw at the light next to me with rollers in her hair...jk!

You're so welcome. Everyone forgets about hot rollers! I have tried the same look with a curling iron it took forever.

You will LOVE this.

yea i never thought about them! Im so bad with a curling iron also...never comes out the way i want it to

oh thank you so much. i cant do my hair, i let it air dry its straight i dry it its even straighter i use a flat iron it sticks to my head. i have baby fine hair haha

but hot curlers sounds like a good idea. where can i get some?? i was going to buy a curling iron from target today but if i cant find hot curlers ill get those

i might attempt my own hair for bpics because i dont feel like paying $60 for someone to just softly curl my hair if i can do it or have my sister help me (she si good with that stuff haha)

I was thinking of doing the same thing..i can't afford much of anything right now!

With a curling iron, it takes so long and the curls never seem to stay for me. Something about the heat from the hot rollers and how you let them cool off while your hair is wrapped REALLY makes them stay curled. If you have fine hair, i'd throw some mousse in your hair before you dry it to give it body and hold. Also, give your hair a small shot of hair spray before curling. I have to o that sometimes.

Try Sally's Beauty Supply....I know they have one in Lindenhurst...i'm not sure where else? There must be other locations.

yea thats a good idea! do you know what outfits you are bringing? i need to shop for some and i can't afford that either!

hahahhahhaa I absolutley LOVE doing hair. I completed 2 years of hair school and won a few competitions...started working for a great salon and then was in a car accident and seriously messed up my knee. I couldn't stand for all those hours anymore so now I just do it in my spare time.

I totally love doing hair. I wish I could show you guys how good the hair can come out, I was in such a rush that day and had to share the bathroom with Stepdaughter and MIL

I can't wait to see everyone's pics!
