The Roller Set Days

This lesson was about creating a voluminous curly hair do on a deep side part.

To achieve this we used the following:

Hot Rollers, Rolling pins, Pin tail Comb, Sectioning Clips, Paddle Brush, Setting Spray and Hairspray.

First of all we started with a demo with our teacher Emma,  her final roller set looked like this,

How she achieved this finished roller set,

Starting at the top of the head take a section the width and length of the roller using your pin tail comb and once the hair is sectioned gently spray the underside of the hair with setting spray comb through and then taking the roller start rolling the hair at a 90 degree angle tucking the ends in with the end of the pin tail comb. Secure with a rolling pin, move on to the next section and then the next and so forth until you run out of hair to curl.

REMEMBER: Start with red rollers and move down to blue then to white and if you need them yellow. This gives you different levels of volume. Refer to my teachers photo for reference if needed.

My turn:

What my finished roller set looked like,

Conclusion on the roller set,

I'm ended up using yellow rollers at the bottom because I took too small of sections and thus the roller set looks a little overcrowded and a few stray strands aren't rolled in correctly which gives the roller set a look of messiness. So what would I change I would section my pieces of hair better, I would smooth the hair down more before I curled it. I'm happy though with the fact that I completed this roller set in less than 40 minutes because it means I'm getting faster at this particular area.

Once I removed the rollers the hair looked like this,

They don't look to bad and this is after I ran my fingers through them. 

  

I'm still not sure I like this sort of voluminous hairstyle it looks sorta of a groomed lion mane or a stylised electric shock. 

Anyway,

After running my fingers through the hair I quite liked how much volume the hair has gotten and also the definition of the curls. 

Now it was time to style,

My finished style 

I went for a voluminous updo this hairstyle was very simple to create and yet works well with the volume I created using the rollers and the curls. 

Then I took the hair out of this style and the hair ended up looking like this.

This style seems more relaxed the hair has retained the curl though it's more of a wave and there's still quite a bit of volume though now it's more controlled.

Conclusion:

I was quite happy with the overall outcome of the style though I would still like to work on my roller set techniques.
