Complete Guide to Growing Longer and Healthier Curly Hair
This book is packed with useful tips for curly hair care.

Issues like hairline breakage, lack of moisture, brittleness, curl-killing buildup and more are covered in this in-depth, curly hair encyclopedia.

Any length of hair can be vamped up with curls. You can add curl to medium length, even short hair styles! If it's long enough to bend around the roller once or twice, it'll set well.

A myriad of things can take on the role of roller. Hot rollers, Velcro's, bendies, rags, you get the idea. You can even create curls with nothing but clips to secure twisted or pin curled sections.

The results you get with your curly hair styles will depend on the quality of your set.

There are a few simple rules for effective wrapping regardless of the tool you use. How you secure your sections, though, will vary with your chosen method. Both elements are equally important.

This page details techniques on roller setting to create curly hair

Always do a roller set on dry hair. Setting rollers on wet hair means long drying times (were talking several hours) and it's harder to prevent clip marks and blend parted sections which can resemble a grid pattern on your scalp... not a good look!

If your hair is freshly washed use an appropriate pre-drying hair product for your hair type and blow it thoroughly dry.

For hair that's very curly or tends to be frizzy, use a natural bristle paddle hair brush to smooth it out a bit before setting... especially around the part and hairline.
