Answer 1

Instructions
STEP 1: Plug in hot rollers. STEP 2: Apply volumizing mousse or styling cream from roots to ends. STEP 3: Separate hair into three sections and clip two sections up. STEP 4: Use a comb to select a 2-inch section from the top of the unclipped hair. Comb it a few times to release any knots or tangles. Spray the section with a soft-hold hair spray. STEP 5: Select a hot roller and fitting pin. STEP 6: Place the roller 1 1/2 inches above the end of the separated section, and wrap the bottom of the strand around the roller. STEP 7: Roll upward toward the scalp so that the entire section of hair is wrapped around the roller. STEP 8: Secure the roller with a pin. Repeat until your entire head is in curlers. Tips & Warnings
For spiral curls, twist your hair before rolling it up.
Remember that larger rollers make big, bouncy curls, while skinnier rollers make tighter, smaller curls.

here is how you do it:
1: wait about 5 minutes untill it gets hot.
2:when its finally hot press that button to supperate the 2 metal parts and put some of you hair(not like a chunk like a pinch full)between the 2 metal parts then let go of the button.
3:Then start twisting the curling iron(no too tight) untill its about 1and a half inches away from your scalp then push that button again and pull the iron away.

and thats it!!

ps you do not hav to go all the way u can also go part way. Good luck!

Answer 3

Well it is hard to explain, first put something on your hair(hairspray,mousse, gel, styling lotion). It works better when hair its dirty. Get a hair strand no bigger than the width of the curly iron (1", 1 1/2", 2") and make sure the ends are inside the curly iron so you won't have fishooks. Put hairspray after to keep the curl on place. Good luck.

-part your hair, tie one side using a scrunchie
-little by little, twist parts of your hair then heat them with the iron
