Lovely rolls, Lorena. If only I could manage them! lol
Having trouble with the rolls Sydney Loren? I figured them out with the help of the FL posts and youtube vids. I'm convinced if I can do them anyone can ;)

if your hair isn't long enough, you can always get a bob...

I've gone through the posts and attacked youtube. I see how they do them but mine just don't turn out like that, or on the rare chance it does happen I get one and not the other, ahahaha. One day I think I'll just dedicate a day to getting them right! lol

My hair can be fickle too...one day they come out great first try and others....well let's just say :rage: I end up sweaty and red in the face with a ponytail :) I still haven't figured out how to get the cone shape though, I usually have to pin at an angle to flatten the back down. Need more practice :D

Before (this is actually straightened a bit--I know, the horror!):

After:
I used a million hot sticks for this one.

and
This was just two rolls, teased a bit first and the ends were curled with hot sticks.

Very pretty! Your rolls look so sharp...I'm jealous!
I spent 1/2 a hour today trying to put my hair up in rolls today. I ended up yelling obscenities and hurling my hairbrush across the room... lol
Anyway, great look! :eusa_clap

Looks great! I have a long way to go before my hot sticks curls look that good.

Audrey, hotsticks frizz the heck out of hair! Your curls at the bottom are silky, it is really beautiful.

I pincurled my entire head the other day, I have fairly long hair so it it took quite sometime but I am pleased with my end result. I am on day three now and am planing on brushing them out today.

Lela,
I love your hair. Mine is about as long. How did you do it? I've tried everything and nothing seems to work. I have naturally straight hair and it's a booger to curl.

Lets just say Lotta Body is my best friend! And I use Foam rollers with a tight curl :)

Volumizing shampoo also does make a difference.. but that is just a preference of mine :)

If I dont use Lotta Body.. my curls will fall out in an hour.. :rage: :rage: stubbourn hair :)
