I just bought rods for a spiral curl look for my hair, the rods are the orange ones right before the big green ones. I am scared to do it because I don't want it to come out bad bu I cannot afford the beautysalon, so does anyone have any tips on how to do it without looking bad? Or should I get a doll and practice first before messing up my own head?

i have read that to create a spiral set w/ rollers you should twist and slant the roller dont roll them in straight. start at the tips, twist hair at mid section and clip on roller on a slanted angle. try it out and see dont be scurred. if your hair is at shoulder or chin lenght try bantu knots for setting.
But keep on trying different things. ------------- "A rose is still and always will be a rose"~Aretha Franklin.* Remember beauty is in the eyes of the beholder* Last relaxer:4/06 Trans. styles: weaves&braids goal:4-6" natural Currently: 4"uneven |

Also use end papers with the rods. WHen rolling try to roll smooth and tight but not too tight though in a sprial formation I guess you can say. Let it set and once dry (make sure it is completely dry) unroll in a sprial formation and do not pull, be gentle and it should come out fine. If this is your first time be patient it may take a few times to get the technique down pack. HTH
BTW: Yeah you can always practice on a dolls head before attempting on your hair. Practice makes perfect  ------------- ThAbAdDeStBaBy http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 - http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 Hair Goal: BSL by late 2007-early 2008 Hair now: net weave w/EP-RT |
