A Roller set forms the basis of many styles; it can be used to smooth hair, add
waves or soft curls, or provide a foundation for an upswept style.
Shampoo and
condition your hair then particularly
dry to remove excess moisture. Mist with a styling spray.
For a basic set take a 50 mm/2 in
section of hair (or a section the same width as your roller) form the centre
front and comb it straight up smoothing out any tangles.
Wrap the ends of the sectioned
hair around the roller taking care not to buckle the hair. Then wind the roller
down firmly towards the scalp. Keeping the tension even.
Keeping winding until the roller
sits on the roots of the hair. Self fixing rollers will stay in place on their
own but if you are using brush rollers you will have to fasten them with a pain.
Continue around the whole head
always taking the same width of hair. Re mist the hair with styling spray if it
begins to dry out.
Leave the finished
set to dry naturally or dry it with a diffuser attachment on your hand dryer or
with a hood dryer. When using artificial heat sources allow the completely dry
hair to become quite cool before your remove the rollers. Brush through the hair
following the direction of the set. Mist the brush with hair hairspray and use
to smooth any spray hairs.
TIPS
Use large diameter rollers for sleek wavy looks smaller for curlier
styles .
Always use sections of equal width when
setting the hair or you will get uneven result
For maximum volume and control let the hair
cool completely before brushing through
A bristle brush will give a smoother finish to
the style
If the finished set is too curly after
brushing through loosen the curl with a brush used with a hand dryer .
To create extra volume and height use a fine
toothed comb to backcomb the roots.
