Hair Styling Tips

Using Heated Rollers and Hot SticksHeated rollers and

hot sticks need to be used on hair that is perfectly

dry. It is also useful to remember that most hair

types take heated curls better if the hair has not

been washed recently. Hair should go around the roller

one-and-a-half times to give lift and volume as well

as to stop the roller from falling out. For every turn

around the roller after that, you will get more and

more curl and a tighter result.

1.Spray the entire head with hairspray.

2.Wait until the red light comes on, indicating that

the set is ready (hot enough).

3.Start at the crown and use the right size for your

style.

4.Use a fine-tooth comb to divide hair into even

sections.

5.Take the first section, comb it smooth and spraying

it again before putting the first roller or stick into

the hair.

6.When rolling your hair, there is a basic rule that

each section of hair should be narrower than the

instrument - this will ensure the correct tension of

hair and give you a better curl.

7.If you are curling short hair, it is a good idea to

use a paper between the roller or stick and the hair —

this will help keep them in place.

8.Roll the hair around the roller or stick and pull

the ends until they disappear. This will avoid the

'fish hook' look. Make sure you don't roll them too

tight.

9.Work you way down the back and then the sides.

Finish with the ones at the front.

10.The direction of the roller will determine the

direction of the hair. For a spiral look to your

curls, twist the section of hair before wrapping it

around the roller.

11.Once all of the rollers are set in place, sit

still. It is often the movement that allows the

rollers or sticks to slip and pull, splitting the

hair.

12.As soon as they are cool start removing the rollers

or sticks in the same order that you put them in. ·
