Creating volume in the hair

Using heated rollers to create volume in the hair with good sectioning, sectioning is a big part in applying rollers and getting a great volumised hairstyle as an end result. The heated rollers were used on the setting number 2 so the temperature was not too hot for the hair but hot enough to create volume and texture within the hair. To place the rollers in the hair I made sections no wider than the rollers so that the sections of hair would fit around the rollers, using a pin tail comb when putting the roller in helped to stop any of the hair from sagging or getting any snags when rolling the hair, getting a smooth application with the roller. I started placing the rollers in from front to back working my way around checking my model was ok as I was going along and that the rollers were not too hot on the head and felt comfortable and not too tight. To secure the rollers make sure it’s close to the scalp and you can see where you have sectioned that part of the hair for the roller with no looseness holding the roller in place with a pin clip or grabby clip. Once the rollers are cool to touch and no longer feel warm you can start to take them out of the hair starting from where you placed the first one in gently unravelling the hair. Once all the rollers are out of the hair go over the hair with curling tongs on sections which need added volume and curl, placing them on a temperature best for your models hair and hair condition, damaged and thin hair, or overly bleached hair would need tongs on a lower heat setting where as thicker hair which is in good condition can be placed on a higher heat setting. Use the tong the same direction as you placed the heated rollers in so that the hair goes and falls in the same way as the rest of the hair make sure the curlers are not too hot for your model and be careful when going near the face and body as not to burn them. If there are a few bits of hair to curl then once the piece of hair is curled roll that piece of hair just curled up, and pin it to keep the curl shape in the hair while the rest is being done so this curl doesn’t drop. Once the whole hairstyle is finished I brushed over the hair with a paddle brush to brush the tight curls out letting the curls naturally fall creating loose voluminous curls.
