How to Use Hourglass Rollers for Fine Hair
Shampoo and condition your hair. It is best to use Hourglass rollers when your hair is slightly damp. If you don't have time to wash your hair, use a spray bottle to re-dampen it.
Apply a styling aid such as a setting gel or a setting spray to your hair.
Consider the size of Hourglass rollers that you want to use on your hair sections. Use large rollers for loose waves and smaller rollers for tighter curls.
Separate the sections of hair that you will be working with. Pin the section of hair on top of your head from your bangs down to the back of your crown. Pin the sections of hair on each side of your head that is near your ears. Always start with the pieces of hair that are closest to your face and then work your way down to the nape of your neck.
Separate a small rectangular section of hair on the top section of your head with a comb. Use one hand to lift this hair section straight out away from your scalp. Comb it so it is smooth and flat. Grasp the Hourglass roller with the opposite hand.
Place the Hourglass roller under the section of hair. Slowly wrap the ends of hair around the barrel of the Hourglass roller, making sure that your hair stays smooth. Roll the hair up towards the base of your scalp.
Secure the Hourglass hair roller with a bobby pin or a clip. Some rollers are self-attaching so if the roller feels secure, a pin is not necessary.
Continue to roll the rest of the top section and then work on the other two sections, until there isn't any loose hair left.
Leave the rollers in until your hair is completely dried. You can blow dry your hair on medium heat for 5 minutes to speed up this process. Allow your hair to cool for 20 minutes before you remove rollers.
Unroll the rollers in the same direction that you rolled them. It is best to unroll them slowly and gently to prevent tangles. Avoid pulling straight down because the roller can get stuck in your hair.
Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to style your curls. Add a styling cream to define your new curls.
How to Get Bigger Curls in Your Hair for African American Males
There are many African American males that wear curly hairstyles. Curls are popular with men who have both short and long hair. If your curls aren't quite large enough, you can increase them using rollers or a diffuser. Rollers are best-suited for African American men that have coarse or straight hair. Besides rollers, those with coarse or straight hair can also use a curling or flat iron to increase their curl size. A diffuser works well for men with naturally wavy or loosely curled hair.
Coarse or Straight Hair
Select rollers for your hair. The roller size must not be larger than the length of your hair; your hair should be able to wrap around the roller at least one and a half times. Some of your hair may be longer than other parts; select rollers of different sizes. The larger the roller is, the bigger the curl.
Wash the hair with shampoo and conditioner.
Part a section of hair 3 inches long and 1/2 to 1 inch thick.
Apply setting lotion to the section of hair with your hands.
Roll the hair away from the face on the roller. Then repeat the process to roll additional sections of hair.
Blow or air dry the hair. Allow the rollers to stay in the hair until completely dry.
Spritz the rolled hair with hairspray after the hair has dried. Then take down the rollers and gently brush the curls to make them look natural.
Wavy or Curly Hair
Wash and shampoo the hair.
Apply leave-in conditioner into the hair while it is still wet.
Pop on a diffuser, also known as a volumizing attachment, to your blow dryer. A diffuser attachment lifts up the hair and directs air to the roots to add volume. Turn the dryer on medium heat.
Flip your hair upside down or to the side.
Hold the ends of a diffuser to your scalp, and blow-dry your hair a section at a time. Move the diffuser in a circular motion while you dry each section.
Tips
Setting lotion, leave-in conditioner, and diffusers are available at beauty supply stores.
How to Use Bendy Hair Curlers
Bendy hair curlers are made of soft, flexible foam, and they sit gently on the head to create voluminous curls. A basic rolling technique, starting at the ends and working up to the scalp, and the right amount of tension helps create beautiful, bouncy curls. These curlers work best with longer hair so that they can remain secure on the head.
Part hair down the middle into two even sections. Drape each section of hair over each shoulder.
Grab a section of hair near the back of the head that measures between one to two inches, depending on the thickness of your hair. Thicker hair requires rolling smaller sections, and finer hair can be rolled in larger chunks.
Brush the section of hair from root to tip with a hairbrush, then very lightly spray with a setting product.
Place the bendy curler at the ends of the hair and tuck the ends under the curler. Roll the curler up toward the scalp, keeping a steady tension between the hair roots and the curler.
Once the curler hits the scalp, bend the curler into a “U” shape. Be sure that the curler touches the scalp. If necessary, bend the curler into a complete “O” shape to hold loose hair in place.
Repeat until all sections of hair are in curlers.
Let hair sit for a few hours. The hair should be completely dry from the setting product before you remove the curlers.
To remove the curlers, unbend from the “O” or “U” shape and unwind.
Once you've removed all of the curlers, tousle the curls gently with your fingers.
Tip
Be sure to brush and spray each section of hair to create smooth and polished curls. Redo any uncomfortable or lopsided bendy curlers before letting the hair set in place.
How to Use Self Grip Rollers
Whether you want to create volume, bounce, curls or straight hair, self-grip rollers, also known as Hourglass rollers, can help you achieve this. The rollers come in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. The smaller rollers help create tighter curls and the larger rollers can be used to create smooth to straight hairstyles. Because self-grip rollers don't require bobby pins or roller clips to secure them, you can create your desired hairstyle in a short time.
Wash your hair and dry it with a blow dryer until it's 80 percent dry and damp to the touch. You can also set self-grip rollers in dry hair.
Comb your hair into the hairstyle that you want to create.
Comb through a section of hair that is equal to or smaller than the width of your roller. Apply hairspray to the section of hair.
Place a roller underneath the sectioned-off hair. Brush the roller bristles through the hair from the roots to the ends. Hold the hair taut at a 45-degree angle.
Wind the ends of your hair under and around the roller and roll it all the way up to your scalp. Set the roller in the direction that your hair flows from your head. For instance, if your hair falls to the left side of your head, have the roller face the left. Your hair should go over the roller, not underneath it. Repeat this step until all your hair is set in rollers.
Blow-dry your hair until it is completely dry. If you start with dry hair, blast the rollers with heat from the blow dryer for up to 5 minutes. Keep the rollers in for 15 minutes to allow them to cool.
Remove the rollers from your hair by carefully unwinding them. Avoid tugging at the rollers or sliding them out, as this may cause frizz, tangles, and breakage.
Finger-comb your hair to create your desired hairstyle.
Tip
If your hair is long and thick, you may need to secure the rollers with clips
