Start curling

Gather a small section of your hair at the top of your head, just right above the forehead. Stretch this out and put a hair roller on the tips, rolling it toward your face until it touches your head. Secure in place with a styling clip or bobby pins.

Remove hair rollers

Start removing the hair rollers at the back side of your hair, followed by the sides, and then the top. Fluff up your hair by running your fingers through the curls gently to make sure the curls stay curly.
