Some women were born with beautiful ringlets. If you were not, don't worry, using curling rods are one way to get luscious curly locks. Rolling your hair requires a a few supplies and a little effort to achieve bouncy curls. This process for using rods to curl your hair is simple enough that you can do it yourself.

2. Comb your hair forward so it hangs in front of your face and remove any tangles. Apply setting lotion evenly throughout hair, be careful not to apply more too much. The setting lotion helps curl hair while it is still wet.

3. Using the comb part a small section at the front of the hair. Place a rod wrapper on the sectioned hair and roll at an angle with the rod. Insert the clips to firmly hold rods in place. Roll hair tightly for tighter curls and looser for larger curls. Continue rolling hair from the direction of left to right. The size of the rods and size of curls, depends on how much hair to roll. The hair section being rolled should not exceed the size of the rod.

5. Blow dry your hair until it is dry. You can air dry if there is time available, but this will take significantly longer.

6. Lightly spray hair with a hair spray before removing all the rod rollers. Loosen the curls one at a time with your fingers. Add hair spray or gel and style as desired.
