Is there away to curl micro braids??  You see, i want long golden curly ones but the problem is that I have long hair (down to my shoulderblades) so i cant necessarily get the kind in the package thats already curled.  Besides, i want larger, rounder, longer curls and not the crinkly waves.  Do i have to take a curling iron to them, put them in big rollers or what??  Or maybe i'm missing something LOL i dont know.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks,

Andi.

You can either use rollers or curl them with an iron. As long as you buy HUMAN HAIR.

If you use kanekalon synthetic hair, you can put rollers on the ends of the braids and then dip them in hot water to make them curly.

 the hot water and rollers method last longer, and since your hair is so long you would probably be using heat on your hair also, so if you use a curling iron it would probably end up damaging your hair since the curls won't last. Kanekalon is the best way to go.

What you can do/from my experience is:

1) You can use the satin or foam rollers as roll at night

2) Steam rollers or hot rollers if its human hair                                        

3) Curling iron if its HH                                                                      

4) Or wrapping/rolling sections into bantu knots at night but that will make like a loose body curl style though

5) Or last, wetsetting/roller setting with a good setting lotion or foam.

Well thats all I can think of at this moment. HTH
