Set your curls

Blow-dry your hair while you have your hair rollers on. Afterwards, unclip your rollers and gently take them out one by one. Finger-comb your curls to loosen them, then spray TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray to make them last longer.

Start with one laverag roller

Insert the hook into your laverag roller. Then, hook the end to a small section of your hair. Pull this section of hair into the laverag roller. If you have long hair, use two rollers in one section of hair.
