Setting Wet Hair In Rollers

Curls are crispy and fun to set, they look pretty, and they make you the center of attention. Rollers give you more curls than any other hair accessory. The curls will last longer and you will also be able to control them better.

Types of Hair Rollers

Hair rollers are available in both heated and non-heated forms. Some of them are:

• Magnetic Rollers: These rollers give volume and smooth curls to your hair. Use magnetic rollers on wet hair for long-lasting curls.
• Foam Rollers: They are so soft that you can sleep on them. Foam rollers are best used on dry and fragile hair.
• Bender Rollers: If you want lots of curls in your hair, then go for bender rollers. These are long, bendable foams with a wire in the center. They are also called spiral rollers.
• Velcro Rollers: As the name conveys, these rollers are made of velcro. The mesh in velcro rollers helps to keep the hair in place, and requires no extra clips or pins.
• Plastic Mesh Rollers: These also work wonderfully on wet hair. With plastic mesh rollers, hair dries more quickly, and it helps to create soft curls.
• Snap-on Rollers and Brush Rollers: These are not usually recommended as they can damage your hair, but it does hold the hair securely in place.

Given below is step by step information on how to set wet hair in rollers.

Step 1: Wet your hair and comb it. Smoothen out the tangles since it is easier to work on tangle-free hair. And it also helps you to get good results.

Step 2: Use a hairstyling product such as a mousse, gel or spray to hold the curls in place. Be careful not to use too much as you will end up with curls that are too stiff to style properly, or with sticky, messy hair. You can use the substance on your entire head or on each individual curl or you can do both in case your hair does not hold curls well.

Step 3: Make four sections of your hair - the top, both sides by the ears, and the back. Now tightly pin up all these sections against your head.

Step 4: Unpin the top section of the hair but be careful not to mess with the other pinned up sections.

Step 5: Take a small portion of this section of hair. Carefully, hold the roller at the end of the particular section and roll it as tightly as possible towards the roots. Continue with the other sections of the hair. If you feel that your hair is drying, you can spray some water from a spray bottle.

Step 6: After you are done with the other sections of the hair, spray a hair product which is specially meant for wet hair, to help form the curls.

Step 7: Before removing the rollers, make sure your hair is completely dry, or use a blow dryer if you are in a hurry. Work with the minimum speed possible. Use a diffuser so as not to blow your hair out of the rollers.

Step 8: Starting at the back, remove the rollers in the opposite direction carefully and spray each curl with a hairspray to hold it in place.

Step 9: Now style your hair and get ready for those pretty curls. Gently run your fingers through your hair for tighter curls or brush those curls for the wavy look.

These are some of the steps for setting wet hair in rollers. They are time-consuming, but it is less likely that your hair will get damaged by these rollers.
