Answer 1

Get a perm!

Answer 2

Try a wet set.

Step One:
Shampoo and condition the hair as needed. Towel the hair dry and gently comb
out any tangles. Take your favorite styling product, (in our demo we used gel, but
mousse, or setting lotions are good) and apply it evenly through the hair.

Step Two:
Roll the hair on rollers according to the amount of wave/curl you want. (In our
demo we used large rollers to give volume and fullness to the style.) Remember, the
smaller the roller, the tighter the curl.
Also, keep in mind that the placement of the roller in relation to the section of the
hair being rolled determines the amount of "lift" in the finished style. (Our demo uses
on-base placement in the front of the head and gradually goes off-base so that the
style isn't too "poofy".)
We used a pretty standard roller pattern on the head for our demo: One row of
rollers down the middle, and two rows at slightly backward angles on the sides. You can
use any pattern of rollers you wish, or that you feel will best give you the wave pattern
you desire.

Step Three:
Dry the hair thoroughly. It's for the best if you can simply allow the roller set to dry
naturally, but often, time constraints mean that you must have some means of drying
the hair. (A portable hooded dryer was used for our demo, on medium heat. These
convenient appliances are relatively inexpensive and are available at most beauty
supply stores and at some department stores.) Once the hair was dry we allowed it to
cool then removed the rollers for a comb-out.
The one thing you must be careful with in styling a roller set is roller marks - the
lines of separation where the hair was segmented for wrapping around the roller.
Generally, these marks will disappear because of the natural heat and moisture of the
scalp, but in persistent cases, a small amount of moisture applied with the corner of a
cloth, an eyebrow brush or a toothbrush will help to relax these lines.
During the comb-out, begin with a wide toothed comb, and gradually work your way
to a finer bristled brush as the hair is loosened. This will prevent snarls and tangles,
and keep you from breaking the hair accidentally. Once you can do so smoothly, use a
natural bristle brush to continue to soften the set. This will give you a more natural
looking curl, and a softer style.
If you want more defined curls, you can apply a light misting of hairspray and
gently grasp or "scrunch" the curls before the spray dries. Then, allow the hairspray to
dry completely and do not re-brush. (We did this with our demo to clearly show the
curl pattern achieved with our roller set.)

I think you'll agree that our finished style is a soft, lovely look, and with proper
care will last until the next shampoo.

Answer 3

First, try Wash & Curl Shampoo ($4.50 at Walgreens). Follow the instructions. Then, use a curl enhancer/curl activator (try FX Curls Up line) and if your hair need it, like it seems, go for xtra strenght formulas and you definetly need some curling irons or hot rollers. I have no idea of how long your hair is but this is for sure: the longer straight hair you have the more difficult to curl. So if you add layers it would be more easy. Good Luck.

Answer 4

If you are only trying to curl certain parts of your hair for example your bangs. Use mousse while your hair is damp. Curl and cool the curl while it is still wound in the curler. Rollers are good for this. After it's cooled and dry apply hairspray to the unwound curls without combing or brushing it right away. Let it set. For a more permanent solution...a salon can do a body wave to just the areas of your hair you usually curl. You dont have to perm your entire head of hair. Good luck.

Answer 5

Get a rrrreealllly good curling iron. I suggest something ceramic, those seem to work best for me. Then buy some pomade---if you don't know what that is, it's better than gel or hairspray or mousse or anything. Look for it at your store or ask someone. Put a little dab of pomade in each section of hair, turn your curling iron as hot as it will go, curl it, and hold it for a good 15-30 seconds.
This works wonders for me.

Answer 6

U could wet hair , get some bobbypins and kiss curl your whole head , then spray with hairspray and go to sleep, the next mornin, u have a head full of curls when u take the bobby pins out.

Answer 7

Why you want to curl it....you look great the way you are now.
Or maybe your fighting with your hair because you know that deep inside your ready for a change and just want somebody else to find good reasons ..because you don't have the courage of your opinions...life must be hard.
Good luck

Answer 8

sally beauty supply and some drugstores sell a product called thermal curler.. you spray it on before you curl your hair and it will protect your hair from heat damage and also, most importantly to your question, help your hair to hold the curl.

Answer 9

My daughter has very fine soft hair.It will damage easily. She looks very nice in curly wavy hair. She will wash her hair then braid it while still wet. the next morning she unbraids her hair and now has a nice perm look that will usually last a few days. Hope this will work for you.

put a little bit of holding gel on the ends before curling it, or after curling it, spritz with a holding gel. or extra hold hair spray
