How to get the perfect curls with gel and hair rollers?

Gel each chunk of hair then roll it into the curler.

I've used LA Works strength 12 hair spray and a regular gel before with a curling iron - produces perfect GoldiLocks curls that don't move. After a shower, scrunch in the gel, and begin separating hair as normal for iron - or curlers as the case may be. Before twisting in the curler, spray the section with the product, roll the hair, spray while on the roller. Rinse and repeat!

I have such a hard time with rollers, even though I try to use them.

This might save you much time, if it doesn't work out for you;

My hair is really thick,put styling gel when your hair is still wet, then blowdry

sometimes I will straighten the base first

I like to use a 1 1/2 barrel curling iron and do ringlets, in small sections using hairspray or mousse as I go.

I use mousse for very humid days, hairspray if not.

Then smooth them out with leave in frizz treatment.

I am a curling iron freak, my favorites were purchased at Sally's; Ceramic Tools by Jibere, they are gold and black.

A little expensive ($40- $60) but very hot and not much damage. I have had all 4 of mine for about 2 years.

Quick to heat and cool. Less stressful on my hair than rollers, maybe this would work for you too.

if u are african american get a perm. First, wash your hair and let the conditioner stay in for 15-30 min. Then, wash it out. Then, use some setting lotion and oil sheen to roll your hair. After, sit under the hair dryer. If not, let the rollers stay in for the rest of the night, until morning. Then, take them out and spray with oil sheen. Don't use gel, it makes your hair flaky and dry.
