use a curling iron. That works great. Then when you have everything laying the way you want, spray hairspray on it to keep it like that. works for me! good luck

rollers are easy if you are in a hurry.

and a curler works well too, just be sure to use extra strong hold hairspray when you are done.

First of all, make sure you take a bath BEFORE you curl your hair. When you're done taking a bath, put in a curl conditioning cream and take a round brush and shape the curls while blow drying at the same time.

Apply the cream again once hair is dry.

For extra curls use a small iron, then spritz some spray on it to keep it curled.

First, does you hair have layers in it? If not it might be good to get some cut, at least around your face. I have thick hair and I tried using a curling iron but my hair would be flat by the end of the day. The best way to keep curls is to use ceramic rollers. The heat will make them tighter, then spritz your hair with hair spray and then loosen them a little with your fingers. They should hold all day.

I have the same kind of hair and use both. With the rollers, put gel in your hair first and roll it when it is wet. When your hair is dried and set, and finger combed if you want..just touch it up a little with a large barrel iron. Then spray with extra hold hairspray.

I have this one section of hair in the back that refuses to take to the rollers, so I always have to use the iron too.

For loose curls I use Goody So finished Spiral Rollers. After you wash your hair blot it dry w/ a towel and the roller your hair section by section the more rollers you use the more curls u will have! Then blow dry cool to warm or if you have to hot are onto you hair (still in rollers). when your hair starts to pull away from the roller your hair is dry and you can take out the rollers and go to work or something or you can do it over night. Now, the rollers do look different then normal roller but I use them I love the result! I hope you do too! Tell me if this works for u!

P.S. I comb it out w/ my finger but do what ever makes your hair how you want it! Happy Curling!
