I finally tried reverse rolls!

I was having a really hard time keeping all of my hair in my hand while I was trying to do these, and hairspray was somehow making it worse, so....I used some of my SO's pomade (water based, the beeswax stuff is scary) and it worked like a charm! Kept all my hair in a maleable unit (even the partially-grown-out bangs) and since i used it sparaingly, it didn't weigh it down either. Highly recommended!

That works My boyfriend uses pomade too, and I used it once. I don't like it so much though because his stuff is really hard to get out, but his isn't waterbased either.

I was too scared to use the other stuff. He made it himself out of a beeswax candle and vasoline, takes about a week to come out of his hair. I like Krew Comb, myself. They have it at Sally in the man-product area.

Which is the water based pomade? I would like to try some as have a fringe too.

I use Krew Comb, but J Crew makes one also (a little on the expensive side). As long as it has water on the ingredients list it should wash out pretty easily.

For water based pomade, my S.O. uses "Sportin' Waves" which is very cheap and washes right out.

man-product... i like that lol

I use La Bella Water-based pomade when I'm doing pincurls. It was like $3 at the supermarket. Never tried it when doing rolls because I felt it would have made them too stiff.

Ladies, you've inspired me to give the reverse rolls a try. Wish me luck! I'm going in! I'll post pictures tomorrow if I can get anything half decent out of it.

You look so fab!!!!!!

How did you get your rolls that way? my hair refuses to do anything for me:rage: lol

i think it pretty simple,just imagine it as a giant pincurl .and pin it when you have your finger in the middle of the roll
