You must use curlers to set curls in lotion-moistened hair.
Since the early twentieth century, women and hairstylists have used setting lotion to create hairstyles requiring shiny, natural-looking full heads of curls. Unlike harsher setting agents like mousse, gel and hairspray, setting lotion leaves hair shiny and moisturized and allows the curls to keep a natural, loose bounce. When you apply it properly, setting lotion will keep your curls in place for several days. While it's not a permanent curling agent like a perm or a body wave, setting curls with lotion is a proven way to get a head full of healthy, moisturized curls with relative ease.
Instructions
1. Thoroughly wash and wet your full head of hair. Treat with a deep conditioner to protect against the heat of the hair dryer required in a later step. Rinse your hair thoroughly, unless the conditioner is a leave-in conditioner. In this case, comb the conditioner through your hair to evenly distribute it all the way to the ends. Do not dry your hair.
2. Apply the setting lotion. Use very little at a time. Pour a quarter-sized amount into the palm of your hand. Distribute it evenly through your hair with your fingers, adding more as required for longer or thicker hair. Coat your hair evenly. Ensure that you don't apply so much lotion that your hair begins to clump together and look stringy. Comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb to ensure you've applied the lotion to all parts of your hair.
3. Separate your hair into four or five sections. Secure each section by twisting the section of hair gently and securing it with a sturdy hair clip.
4. Roll your hair into curlers, beginning at the top of your head. Roll them onto the curlers in square-inch sections. Use smaller curlers toward the crown of your head; use the larger curlers toward the bottom of your hair. Keep rolling your hair until all the sections of your hair are rolled into curlers.
5. Sit under a hair dryer for at least 40 minutes. Once the 40 minutes have run out, carefully unroll one curler to ensure that the curl is completely dry. If parts of the curl are still damp or wet, sit under the dryer for 15 more minutes and recheck a different curl. Continue sitting under the hair dryer in 15-minute increments until the curls feel completely dry when you unroll them.
6. Remove all the curlers from your hair. Use your fingers to separate and style the curls to your liking.
