Your best bet, first of all, is to talk to your hairdresser since they know your hair type already and know what your hair can do on it's own.
From there, you can take some large curlers (not hot). Wash your hair at night and put the curlers in your hair right after. Go directly to bed and sleep with them in. When you wake up, just unroll the curlers out and do a very light brush through your hair.
If that doesn't get your results then take a large barrel curling iron and curl the hair up as usual. Let it cool completely before you brush through it. You can usually buy a really cheap one of these at like walmart that you can use a few decent times. They aren't the best but they'll work in a jiffy if you're low on cash ;)
Sadly, you're not going to be able to do this with a straightener. You need curlers and/or a curling iron.
And these are their step-by-step instructions to this beautiful hairstyle:
-- Part your hair with a deep side part.
-- Use different sized heated rollers in your hair (Jumbo hot rollers are great if you have lots of hair or want only large curls), rolling the hair up 1/3 of the way up. You don't want the curls to start at the top of your head.
-- When the heaters are cooled, let your hair out. Don't spray anything yet! Shake it. Run your fingers through it a bit and arrange it how you'd like it.
-- When hair has reached the look you'd like, cover face with your free hand as much as possible while spraying the curls. Also spray your part.
-- If you'd like, heat a bit of Aveda's Control Paste in-between your fingers and run it over the curls and your part for even more security of your hairs' hold.
I still suggest you speak with your hairstylist though. Some hair will hold this sort of thing while others just won't. Some will need product and some won't. It all depends. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
