Very carefully. You will probably need moist set

First, you should go to a very experienced and talented hair cutter/stylist, and have them thin out your hair (just a little). If it's layered, again, JUST A LITTLE, it will help keep a curl. The smaller the roller, the tighter the curl. Start with a leave in hair product for setting curls. Try sleeping on foam rollers (soft); you'll end up with bouncy curls that will last most of the day. If you use hot rollers, leave them in twice as long as normal. You can also "set" the hair with perfume while the hair is still rolled. There is alcohol in perfume, so don't use this trick too often. Hope this helps.

I'm a guy so you probably won't take my advice. But I used to cut, style, and dye all my friends' hair, and I had friends with that problem. One thing I realized works for nice curls on thick & heavy hair is:
1. Use a volumizing shampoo, your hair strands separate more with the added volume, which makes it easier to work with without all your hair stuck together.
2. Straighten your hair first, THEN curl.
3. Use a bit of Aussie Volumizing Hairspray when your done to make it hold, it holds, looks natural and dry, is cheap, and doesn't get all crispy hard or flake.
Hope that helps!
P.S. - the person that said to put hairspray before you curl it.. DO NOT do that, that fries your hair super bad and makes it start to fall out after a while!
& the person that said thin out your hair, ya i forgot that one. that's a good tip too though!

Curling iron: curl small sections at a time, spritz each section before you curl with hair spray or spray gel, try to use a curling iron that gets super hot (professional model work best, usually they are gold or ceramic plated)
Hot rollers: roll small sections at a time, you may have separate your hair into three or four sections to get your whole head done, you may even consider buying more than one set of rollers to shorten the time spent on this
Perms: If you want your hair curly everyday, I would consider a perm. With thick hair you'll need to have your hair layered or cut with thinning scissors after the perm so your hair won't be enormous. Definitely talk to a professional on this one.

You perm your hair first and then condition it real good and the buy Hot Oil Treatment and then curl your hair and it will be curly and stay up for about a month

my hair is like this too, but you have to have a wave to your hair to get it to stay. not a big wave but not bone straight. and you spray hairspray b4 you curl it with a curling iron, and after you spray a little hairspray too. good luck!
