Sexy Waves from Hot Rollers
Before we begin, a primer: Hot rollers usually come as a set that includes a variation of roller sizes. If you’re looking to get big, sexy waves, opt for the larger rollers, and use the smaller for a tighter set of waves. You can also mix and match to create volume by placing the larger rollers at the crown of your head. But of course, the length of your hair will also determine the roller size you decide to choose: Short hair, smaller rollers; long hair, larger rollers. Whichever you choose, do what works best for you. We’re sure your hair will come out amazing regardless.
Step 1: Start with dry hair.
Begin with smooth, straight and untangled dry hair. If you need to detangle, gently brush from the ends to the root.
Step 2: Apply some hair mousse.
Liberally apply a mousse like Nexxus Styling Mousse Plus for texture and volume. You want to end up with waves with a movable texture, giving you the ability to style hair however you want.
Step 3: Part your hair.
Make a part at your crown from ear to ear to divide hair into two workable sections. Pin away the top section with a sectioning clip, and start working with the back section of your hair first.
Step 4: Add your rollers in place.
Taking small sections of your hair, place the hot roller at the mid-shaft, then wrap the mid-shaft to the end of your hair around the roller in a clockwise motion. Once this area is securely wrapped around the roller, finish that section by rolling the hot roller all the way down to your scalp. Repeat this all over your head and secure with the clips provided with your hot roller kit. If you have self-grip rollers, just leave them in place.
Step 5: Allow rollers to set.
Allow the rollers to set and cool completely for about 25-30 minutes before you remove. If you remove prematurely, your waves won’t form properly. Make sure you allow your rollers to sit on the hair for the recommended time frame as advised.
Step 6: Remove the hot rollers.
Remove all clips and hot rollers. Allow the hair to cascade down naturally and use your fingers to gently rake through your roots remove any parts from your sections.
Step 7: Comb your hair.
Using a rat-tail comb, create a deep side part or a middle part to style your waves or create an individual style. If you want to you create a more glamorous style, brush the hair with a paddle brush to create a more uniform wave as opposed to a tousled look. Spritz on some of the Nexxus New York Salon Care Maxximum Finishing Spray to set your sexy waves in place. Hot and sexy waves are easy to achieve with some simple steps.
