Help with hot rollers

Hi Becky,I've been using rollers since the 70s & have been thru hot rollers, Velcro hot rollers & several steam rollers (my favorite). My hair is fine, straight, but thick and is a few inches past my shoulders, slightly layered. I generally will start at the crown with a section of hair and roll it under. I use a spritz of spray on the ends to help it stay together. One of the trickiest parts is making sure your ends lay smooth on the roller. I will continue making a *row* on the top of my head. I then take large rollers and really just throw them in on the sides and back, sometimes varying the angle because I like it more tousled looking, as opposed to lots of curls. If you have regular hot rollers, just be sure your hair has cooled down before you brush it out, or the curl will not hold as well. It is a little awkward at first to use, especially the longer your hair is. If your hair is really long, a friend of mine used to pull all her hair into a high ponytail and just section the hair in the ponytail & roll it. But really, it gets much easier once you get the hang of it. I can roll my hair very quickly & you will too. :) Hope some of this helps. Good luck, Kelly F.

If you are having trouble rolling the ends on the roller, maybe a shot of hairspray will help hold the hair together so you can get it wound right. If you're having trouble because the roller gets too hot, in the past I've tucked a piece of tissue paper between the roller & the hair or scalp. Don't discount them too fast. Once you figure out how to use them and what's best for your hair, it'll be a breeze. Good luck, Kelly F.
