| I use roller sets. You can make your curls tight or loose depending on the rod size. I usually sleep in them overnight but if you prefer not to, then heat rollers are great! They don't damage hair like curling irons and it's time saving. The best heat rollers to use is the steam ones (your hair will not revert!) because the curls will last all day. |

I use roller sets also when I want to wear a curly look. I use the magnetic rollers and depending on the look you want, choose your roller size accordingly, i.e, small-for tighter curl, medium/lrg -for loose curl. A good set usually last me about a week and I pincurl at night to keep curls fresh looking. ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

I agree with doing roller sets. If you want a natural curly look you could do a straw set which would give you small corkscrew curls. ------------- |

If you asking about getting curls without the help of rollers it is not going to work because of the relaxed hair but you can wear it wavy by using mousse and a good moisturizer like NTM to encourage the wave pattern; or try making bantu knots, hope this helps!  ------------- http://public.fotki.com/blackhoney112/hair_album/101505_.html - Hair album pw:Romeo |
