Bouncy curls

Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening wherever you are!
Today I am going to talk about culing your hair and creating a Cheryl Cole blowdry simply with rollers.  I am also going to tell you about what products are best to use. So to start off you are going to need a decent hairspray, nothing too sticky, something that has more of a mist, I prefer to use L'oreal satin spray, it definatly has the hold but no residue : )
The best types of rollers are the Babyliss Ceramic heated rollers (see pictures below)

Having the gaps down the sides help you at home to stop getting fish hook ends (straight ends). So to put these in you will have to section your hair.
The eaisest way is to section it into 3, start at the top and take your section from the temple on either side of the head and scoop the hair round to just below the crown, now put that section either in a bobble or in a clip. The next section should start at in the middle of your ears,take a straight line and put in a clip, these are your 3 sections.
Depending on how thick your hair is on your bottom section you can normally get away with 2 rollers and on this section I would use the smallest rollers and you want the get the ends of your hair into the gap in the roller then wrap under and apply the clip, then continue with the rest of this section.*The sections you take when putting rollers in dont have to be neat messy is always better*

This next section I would alternate the roller size, I would use small and medium (a little trick is to alternate the direction, if your a beginner I would stick to doing all the rollers the same way, but if your up for a challenge you can put a roller in under, which is the normal way, then the next one you would do it the opposite so you would put the hair on the back of the roller and wind outwards) so carry on with the rollers all the way round you should normally fit about 4-5 rollers in. *tip Have good size sections about 2 inches wide*
For the top section I would use the medium rollers underneath and leave the big ones for the top ie, the crown and fringe. All of these sections on top I would advise to do them on an angle (still 2-3 inches thick) The angle should be so when you tuck your hair under it should flow backwards off your face, so if your putting the front in the roller should be on its side by your temple coming back off your face.If you have a full fringe, I would advise not to put a roller in I would blowdry it and run over with the straightners.For a side fringe a big sized roller can be used,if your fringe is to the right and you like volume, roller it on the left side and under (this will give you body once the roller is taken out run through with your finger to the right side). If you prfer a sleeker look I would put your roller into the side your fringe flows to.

Once all your rollers are in I would give your hair a light mist of hair spray,then wait for your rollers to cool down completely. Take your rollers out and let the curls settle for a few minutes, tip your hair upside down and give it a little shake, DO NOT RUN YOUR FINGERS THROUGH THE CURLS! If you run your fingers through the curls this gives them a tendency to drop. Flip your hair back up and tweak the top to where you want it to go. Then spray! You can also add backcombing, there will be a section on this at a later stage : )

I know there are a lot of steps but I have tried to be in depth as possible to help you get great results!! Any questions and any other further info dont hesitate to email me!
