Standard Roller Placement

Rollers are used where strong volume is desired. When

rolling hair, position yourself so you are always rolling the

hair towards you.

1. Begin with wet hair and apply a styling aid.

2. Section off a rectangular base whose length is W” less

than the length of the roller you’re using.

3. Take a subsection from the base that is the same size as

the diameter of the roller.

4. 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.

‼️Note: When applying rollers to the bangs or fringe, you might use lower elevation.

5. Apply a clippie on the bottom of the roller to hold the

hair in place and secure the roller. Secure the bottom

of the clippie near the scalp. The top of the clippie slips

inside the roller.

6. Continue placing rollers in a pattern determined by the

style desired.

‼️Note: In roller setting, separations are more visible

because a straight roller doesn’t conform to the head.

Setting rollers with a diagonal movement, or at a lowerelevation, tends to lessen these separations.

7. Dry the hair, remove the rollers and clippies, and brush

through, following the brush with the palm of your

subordinate hand to control the hair. Shape the hair

according to the setting pattern, and spray to finish.

Note: If the hair is not totally dry on the rollers, the set will relax too much. A set that is completely dry should last until the next shampoo.

Roller curls can be set in combination with pin curls, using

the pin curls in areas where less volume is desired.

Hot Rollers

Hot rollers are applied much the same as standard rollers,

except for the following:

• Begin with hair that is totally dry.

• Apply a spray styling product for hold and control.

• Fasteners are horseshoe shaped prongs that fasten

around the rollers, from the back to the front with the

flat end towards the scalp.

• Check to make sure the rollers are properly heated before applying them, and cool before removing them.

Ragsetting Process

Ragsetting is a different technique than applying standard

or hot rollers.

Before you begin, prepare the wrapping material (10” x 1”

strips of paper towels, tissue, or fabric). If you reuse fabric

strips, they must be washed in hot water and kept sanitized. 1. Begin with damp hair, or dampen dry hair with a

soft-hold styling aid.

2. Start at the nape for long hair or at the hairline for

short hair. Create a section with a base that is about X”,

smaller for tighter curls, or larger for looser curls.

3. Place the fabric on the ends of the hair and roll the hair

around the fabric to the scalp.

‼️Hint: For smoother ends, enclose them in a paper end

wrap.

4. Tie the ends of the fabric over the curl to fasten the curl

in place.

5. Place the curls directionally, the way the finished style

will be worn. If you turn and twist the hair as you roll it,

you’ll get more variation and texture.

6. Dry the hair under a hood dryer. When dry, arrange with

your fingers or lightly brush through the style.
