13 Rollersetting

Roller sets are similar to volume/stand-up pin curls, but hair wrapped around form of rollers to support shape of curl.

Types of Rollers

▪️Two lengths and several diameters of rollers are commonly available.

▪️Short rollers are often called “directional” because they can be used to create strong direction (moving the hair this way and that).

▪️Always select a roller whose diameter will allow the hair to wrap around it at least 1V to 2 times. This will form a strong curl.

▪️Another type of curl, ragsetting, can be produced using tissues, papertowels,or strips of thin fabric.

When selecting a type of roller, consider the following:

▪️Standard rollers produce firm, volume curls.

▪️Electric rollers can be used for quick sets that produce medium firm curls with some volume.

▪️Ragsetting can be used to produce tousled, romantic looks.

Standard Roller Placement

✔️Begin with wet hair and apply a styling aid.

✔️Section off a rectangular base whose length is W” less than the length of the roller you’re using.

✔️Take a subsection from the base that is the same size asthe diameter of the roller.

✔️Holding the hair at 90°, wrap the hair on the roller from the ends to the scalp. When applied, the roller will rest half on and half off the base.

✔️Apply a clippie on the bottom of the roller to hold the hair in place andsecure the roller. Secure the bottom of the clippie near the scalp. The top of the clippie slips inside the roller.

✔️Continue placing rollers in a pattern determined by thestyle desired.
