Foam bendy rollers are a low cost, low effort, and no heat solution to creating beautiful curls.If you have thick hair, bendy rollers can give you tight ringlets or a beachy wave.Since they don't need heat to set, foam bendy rollers are great for hair extensions or woven-in hair.
Step 1: Choose rollers that are tight for your hair.
Rollers should be chosen based on your hair length, thickness, and desired outcome.Bigger rollers will give you waves.Try different sizes until you find one that works for you.Start with rollers that are the same size.You can mix and match different sizes as you become more comfortable using them.The length and thickness of your hair will affect the number of rollers you choose.The more hair you have, the more rollers you will need.Inexpensive bendy rollers can be found online, in most stores, and even at the dollar store.
Step 2: As usual, wash and condition your hair.
It is important to start with clean and soft hair.You should wash your hair with your favorite cleanser.If you already have clean hair, you can use a leave-in conditioner or water to damp it.
Step 3: Make sure to squeeze out any excess water when towel drying your hair.
Since the rollers are foam, you don't want a lot of water soaking into them.They will take a long time to dry if you roll them too wet.You want your hair to be damp and dry.
Step 4: Remove tangles with a wide-toothed comb.
To remove knots or tangles, begin at the bottom of your hair and work your way up.Pulling and damage can be prevented by using a wide-toothed comb.If you have thick or coarse hair, you can use a detangling brush instead of a comb at most beauty supply stores.
Step 5: Curl definer or styling spray should be distributed throughout your hair.
If you have straight hair, this step is important.Rub your hair from root to tip with the amount indicated on the bottle.
Step 6: Take your hair and divide it into four sections.
Divide your hair into a back section, two side sections, and a top section using combs and claw-style hair clips.The sections are just to help you manage the rolling and keep it neat, you don't need to be precise with your divisions.
Step 7: Put the rollers in place by tightly rolling your hair.
Wrap the end of a small section of hair around the middle of the roller 3 or 4 times, starting at the back of your head.Holding the roller on either side, roll it up to the root and bend it so the two ends overlap like a pretzel.All your hair needs to be rolled up tight.The bigger the curls, the more hair you put on each roller.Roll less hair on the rollers.You can keep your hair moist if you mist it with water.If you want a more natural look, twist your hair in random directions.
Step 8: You can spray your hair with a spray.
If you want your hair to last, you need to add more product as the hair is drying so that it gets locked into place.
Step 9: Put your hair in a scarf or pillowcase to sleep.
If you want to keep the rollers on your head while you sleep, use a pillowcase or scarf to cover your hair.The knot doesn't bother you during the night if you tie the scarf or pillowcase securely at the top of your head.You can use cotton in a pinch, but it's best to use supon.You might have a little more hair loss without the wrap.
Step 10: Take the scarf off and check that your hair is dry.
When you wake up, remove the wrap and feel around with your fingers at the root of the roller.If you don't have time to dry the hair, you can use a hair dryer on a low setting.
Step 11: Take the rollers out and let the curls go.
When your hair is completely dry, unbend the rollers from their pretzel shape back into a straight rod.Allow the curls to cascade around your face and resist the urge to touch them.You can pull back your hair with a claw clip, but be careful not to remove any of it.
Step 12: Curls can be separated using your fingers.
If you want your final style to be big or curly, use your fingers to pull apart the curls.The bigger your hair is at the end, the more you separate them.If you want to blend the curls together, don't use a brush or comb.
Step 13: Curls can be styled any way you like.
Depending on your final desired look, you can either tousle your hair with your hands or pull some or all of the curls back into an updo for a more formal or professional appearance.
Step 14: To hold in place, spray with a finishing spray.
It is important to mist your final style with hair spray or finishing spray to make sure it stays in place.The unfurling effects of gravity and time can be prolonged by a strong holding product.If you want a more defined look, you can use hair wax instead of spray and flip your hair upside down.
