A Little Extra Bounce to My Hair.


Roller sets also known as wet-setting is a great way to get an extra bounce and body to your hair, along with a well desired curl. The effects of roller sets last longer then just curling your hair or blow drying an gives you a nice shine. Most people will look to doing a roller set when they are trying to avoid extra heat on their hair and wanting to obtain extra length. Roller sets can be done on any type of hair whether straight,curly or all natural and relaxed. When doing a roller set you want to shampoo the hair first and make sure to get the hair clean and conditioned. When you have thoroughly cleaned the hair you will want to brush the hair straight back. You will want to have at least 6 butterfly hair clips for your sectioning. 

First section your hair in to 6 sections, begin by making a vertical sections down the middle of the head to form a mo hawk down the middle of the head. Your next section will be horizontal from the tip of the ear to the other ear you should now have 3 sections going across the top. Then make two sections from the bottom of the earlobe to the middle of the head. Not into the mo hawk section clip those two sections away as well. You should know have four sections on the sides and a mo hawk section in the middle that is clipped into two sections. 

You can begin your rollers at the top of the mowhak section in the front making sure the hair is slightly wet, and place the hair on the top of the roller at a  90 degree angle and roll the hair to an on base position. Make sure to keep slight tension on the hair to make the hair as straight as possible when drying. The rollers will be going in a concave position and being placed on base. continue down the mowhak till you get to the crown area. If your client wants more volume you can continue down the mo hawk area, if they don't want to much volume in the back you can start to roll the rollers in a convex position with the rollers going in an upward position. 

Your front side areas will be rolled down in a concave position on base, making sure to use the roller as the width of your section if you need to make two rows in the front that is ok everyone head is shaped differently. Your back sections will be rolled down in a concave position as well. The top roller for the back sections will be smaller in width then the bottom, because you are trying to fit a roller in between two sections. Remember if your mo hawk section in the back is concave you will continue with concave and if it was convex keep with the way it was being rolled. 

When you have rolled the whole head you can put a hair net over the head to hole the rollers in place and place the client under the dryer for about an hour depending on how thick their hair is. You will need to feel the hair frequently to make sure it is really dry. When the hair is dry you can remove the hair net if you placed one on and remove the  clips that are holding the hair rollers in and remove the rollers, brush  the hair gently out and style if your client would like or you can wrap the hair up in a wrap.
