- Hot rollers, lots of mouse and super hold hairspray. Joico has a good one. Merry Christmas!
- you can could use wet curlers. rag curling or pin curling (look online for tutorials). make sure when you curl you use a ceramic iron. and that you SPIRAL around the iron, not just roll your hair onto the iron. that way you hair gets equal amounts of heat, not just the ends.
- My hair is really thin too. To make mine curl I use hot rollers, but first I use Bed Head Cocky, it thickens the hair temporarily. I also use Sunsilk Anti-Flat and a good hair spray. After I put all that in there I dry it, then spray it again, then roll it, and then spray it again after I take the rollers out. It's a long process with alot of hair goop but it works to make it hold the curl.
- My sister's hair is the same way. The other day we tried the rags in her hair. It is an old fashion way to curl your hair. you take an old rag and cut in into 3 inch wide and 10 inch long stands. Your hair should be wet. Then you take sections of your hair and roll your hair in this rag as if the rag was a roller. Once it gets to the top of your head tie it in a knot. Usually you would let it air dry and sleep like this but if your hair doesn't get frizzy easily then you can blow dry your hair with these rags in it. Afterwords your hair should be in ringlets. Good Luck!
- HMM....i have the same problem,and i use hot rollers!It works really good!........= )
- ok, have a shower and whatever and plait your hair into like two plaits and dry them using a hiardryer, take them out et voila, wavy hair merry christmas
- first wash your hair with a volume shampoo and then blowdray your hair upside down that with make lots of volume in your hair then try curling irons if they dont work try any good hair straighters like ghds they help curling your hair but you just have to know how to do it... if curling irons and straighters dont works try a good hair diffuser that can make a good use hope i helped and dont forget to put a little bit of hairspray on to hold the hair in place... x
- I know it is a little late (you wanted it for christmas eve), but just so you know in the future. 1. Towel dry hair, put root lifter on the crown of your head and work through hair with a comb (not a brush) 2. Blow dry your hair while its flipped upside down, use your fingers to give hair volume while blow drying 3. Use Redken Spray Starch in dry hair, and comb through hair (it will feel like straw), then use a professional curling iron (about $25-30) on highest setting. After you curl, pin the curl with a bobby pin and proceed getting ready, make up, clothes, etc. After you have let the curl to cool down, remove the bobby pins and FINGER comb!! this is important. The redken starch is essential, this is what will hold the curl, it is a heat memory formula that provides "runway" hair. Hope this helps!
