Answer 1

Now when you think about curling your hair the first thing you need to remember is to keep your hair moisturerized if you are white you need to make sure your hair is clean and not oily before you begin. second step is to figure out whether you want to use a curling iron or hair rollers. if you are white i suggest setting your hair on rollers being that most of the time curling your hair does you no good if it is long it falls and gets frizzy we dont want that. so i would suggest roller setting your hair it will give you the full body curl you are looking for and will minimize frizzing a littl hair spray and mouse goes a long way i suggest setting your hair wet and then sitting under the dryer. if you want tight curls use little rollers big curls big rollers good luck. if you are wearing a dress wear your hair swooped into a a messy pony tail of curls (elegant) if wearing jeans go for the hair down i just do this so easy look

Answer 2

Wet Set your hair. Shampoo and Condtion then use a setting lotion and use plastic, magnetic rollers with the smooth barrel. Roll up your hair either half way for loose, bouncy curls or all the way for lots of curls, that will eventually will drop down to loose curls. You wont need to use heat, your curls will be perfect, beautiful and shiny, will a lot of body and bounce.

Answer 3

I use a small curling iron. I have straight hair just past the middle of my back and it takes a while but I like they way it looks. If I was to cut my hair it would have a natural curl (like up to my shoulders) but I don't want it short, so I gotta do it myself.

Answer 4

Heated rollers are the best for curling hair. I never owned a set until I got extensions and they were recommended to me as a way of curling. They are excellent and they sell them for all price ranges- Boots are especially good. They heat up and when ready they indicate this (usually by one of the rollers having a dot that turns from red to white) They heat quickly and then you pop them in and wait till they cool down (which doesn't take long- just leave them in as long or little as you like as desired) and voila! Drop-dead gorgeous curls!

Answer 5

Get some long, thick rollers that bend. I use those and I have ultra-long wavy hair, waist-length-going-on-past, and they are the ONLY ones that I like. They turn my hair so wavy and give a really wonderful spiraling curl look.

I bought mine at Eckerd's for $6, a pack of 10, and I got two packs. They've lasted over a year now and only two curlers got the inner wire broken.

Answer 6

if u want it really curly, u can scrunge it. Make sure ur hair is wet. tale some moose and rub it up and down. Take some gel and do the same thing. Repeat teh step again. when you are done, put hairspray in it to make it stay that way. let it dry. You might want to put more hairspray in it when it is dry. If u dont want it that way, use big a curling iron.

Answer 7

Heated rollers are probably your easiest way - try babyliss really good.

Or

Try using hair straightners - pretty tricky if you don't know how. Try testing it before buying heated rollers.

Or

Go for a style at your local hairdresser - but would book it soon.

Good luck! ;-)
