How To Do A Vintage Style Soft Roller Set

You may remember a few weeks ago the lovely Lilly Von Pink gave a fabulous tutorial on how to make your very own soft rollers. Yes for all you vintage gals who sleep in curlers to get that classic softy waved look you no longer need to wake up with a crick in your neck. 

Now in part two of the series Lilly shows us how to put the rollers in perfectly so we can achieve a Veronica Lake and not an orphan Annie.

You will need:

Rollers (I'm using 15 rollers in a medium size)

Setting Lotion or hair spray (I'm using a liquid hairspray called Finale)

Rat tail Comb

Hair net or head scarf

Lilly looking au natural

Step 1. Section you hair ready for your first roller.Tip* The section should be no wider than the roller

Step 2. Spray the section generously with setting lotion or hair spray

Step 3. Take a roller and wrap the end of the hair around the roller and roll hair until it is tight to your head. Once you are happy take the strap and fasten the loop over the button.Tip* The strap should cover the front of the curl

Like so

Step 4. Continue in a Mohawk type patten I use 5 rollers at this point

Step 5. Start on the side sections and divide into two. Repeat the process you have just used for the middle section.I use 3 rollers on the back section and 2 rollers on the front section by my face

 Step 6. Protect the rollers with a hair net or head scarf

Tip* You can wrap your head in a towel if you want some extra padding

Step 7. In the morning unroll

Step 8. Brush into shape.My hairs very heavy but it gives me a wave, some shape and volume

Step 9. style and enjoy your day xx
