First, I side-parted the hair and put all of it into heated rollers. The front section, I rolled sideways, away from the parting; the section at the crown of the hair I rolled downwards, and then the section at the nape of the neck I rolled upward. I made sure to use a brickwork technique, rather than lining all of the rollers up with one another, to avoid leaving gaps and partings. Using rollers creates a lot of lift and volume, as well as curl and shape.
Once the rollers had cooled, I removed all of the ones at the back, leaving the ones at the front to keep the hair out of the way while I styled the back. I gently backcombed all of the hair that was curling downwards, from the root to about halfway down the length. This helped to fill in any thin gaps in the hair and added further volume. I pinned it in place at the bottom. Next, I curled the hair at the nape of the neck that was curling upward, and pinned it in place, placing a pin diagonally in the middle to join the two separate coils.
Finally, I removed the curls from the front section of the hair and began placing them decoratively where I wanted them. I let the hair curl and sit where it naturally wanted to, pinning it into place away from the face. I took the middle section at the top of the head and curled it over in a larger shape, leaving a more voluminous upper part.
I was really happy with how this hair lesson went. Having only used rollers once or twice before, I still am not hugely confident working with them, but I sectioned the hair well and rolled the rollers tightly, leaving a lot of lift and shape in the hair once removed, which I was really happy with. I received some really positive feedback from my tutor about the positioning of the rollers too. I thought that I styled the hair well, my only criticism is that the curls at the nape of the neck look a little untidy and unblended in the middle. Overall, however, I am really impressed with my work.
