How To Braid Your Own Hair

If you're one of those people who envies people with naturally curly hair, and hates your limp, straight hair, then you may wonder if it's possible for you to get those curls and a new look in the process. There are actually a few different techniques that you can try in order to get curly hair. You can get a permanent (perm), use hot rollers, sponge rollers, or use a curling iron depending on the look you want and what your styling preferences are. Here is a brief description of each method:

Get A Perm: While this method used to be quite popular, it is not as commonly seen in today's styles because it is a permanent fix. If you get a perm, your curls may easily last for months or possibly even longer. With ever-changing hair styles, many people would rather try something a little less drastic. But, if you know that you want a curly hairstyle and that you won't want a change, this may be a good choice for you. You can get a do-it-yourself home perm kit, or you can go to a stylist. If you have never given yourself a perm or you don't know someone who can apply it for you, you may want to go to a salon to make sure that it is done properly.

Hot Rollers and Sponge Rollers: Both hot rollers and sponge rollers can give you a nice, but not permanent curl. For best results, wash your hair and then put some styling gel, cream, mousse, pomade or one of the specially formulated curling products in your hair. Once your hair is just slightly damp-but not completely dry, you are ready to put in the rollers. Take small pieces of hair and put them in each roller. Use the smaller rollers around the face and in the front and the larger rollers in the back. Do not put too much hair in one roller. The hot rollers will work more quickly than the soft rollers. Leave the rollers in until the hair is completely dry and then remove them.

Curling Iron: The smaller the barrel of the curling iron, the tighter the curl. Do not leave the iron on your hair too long or it will begin to harm your hair.

Other tips: Layered hair is easier to curl than hair that is one length. Also, the longer the layers and the hair, the harder it is to curl and keep the curl in. Once your hair is dry and curled, use a hair spray or some other holding product to keep the curls from straightening.
