01
Hot Curls

Pin curling or roller setting your coif is much less damaging than frequent heat styling and will allow you to wear your hair loose and free without a lot of manipulation and handling. Apply a quarter-size amount of Pantene Pro-V Smooth & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum throughout the hair to tame your locks.

02
The Big Bounce

These large, defined, springy curls were created with a good old-fashioned roller set. Try a spray that smooths frizzies and treats the scalp. We love Simply Organic Rejuvenating Hair and Scalp Sealer with shea butter and olive leaf extract.

03
Soft Waves

As curls start to wear, brush them down with a vent brush and leave the ends curly. To prevent the ends from frizzing, pin-curl at night and use a hairdressing such as Phyto Life Hair Honey.

04
Luxurious Locks

Why not look rich with waves that relinquish your glamorous side? To get this look, roller-set the hair from the nape to the forehead. Once the hair is dry, release curls, then brush the hair and polish strands with a little serum.

05
Carefree Curls

As you go through the week, this spiral set loosens up, giving you endless styling possibilities. For curls that’ll keep, apply a hairdressing like Magic Move Light pomade wherever needed.

06
New Wave

If you love a headful of waves and curls, this gorgeous texture is just a rod set away. This style is ideal for both relaxed and natural hair. Aveda Brilliant Humectant Pomade is great for beating frizz.

07
High Drama

Cascading spiral curls, which can be created with a large-barrel curling iron or a traditional roller set, add body and bounce. Separate each coil into three individual pieces, then add a control product like Redken Water Wax 03 Shine Defining Pomade to tame frizzies and keep hair in place.

08
Roll Up

The trick to achieving these waves is the direction of the roller set. Every strand needs to be curled upward, from the nape toward the face. A soft bristle brush will unite your strands to form one curvy mass.

09
Curly Cues

Sure, locks are easy, but a little spice is always nice. Try a cute layered cut, a touch of color or a roller set, which can last for up to two weeks. Alberto VO5 Hot Oil Shower Works Treatment doesn’t require prewarming, and it deep-conditions without heavy buildup—ideal for locks.

10
Sexy Set

Keep your curls soft and sexy by reintroducing yourself to hot rollers, pin curls and roller sets. Set hair with medium-size rollers and a setting lotion like Pantene Pro-V Relaxed & Natural Conditioning Wrap & Set Lotion.
