If you have limp hair, it would be a good idea to add a root lifter in addition to the mousse. Alternatively, place a round brush beneath a section of hair, over-direct the hair at a 90 or 135 degree angle at the roots, and then continue blow drying down the strand as usual. Apply a light misting of light to medium-hold hairspray to your hair after you dry it. This will help the curls stay better. [2] X Research source
It does not matter which side you create the part on, so choose whichever side you prefer or find most flattering.
If your hair doesn’t hold curls well, stick with a 1-inch (2. 54-centimeter) curling iron. [5] X Research source For gentle waves, use a 2-inch (5. 08-centimeter) curling iron.
Don’t remove the curls while they are still warm, or they might not hold.
Mist your brush with some hairspray first. This will help prevent frizz.
Flexi-rods may also be called bendy foam rollers, twist-flex rods, or sponge-rods. You can also use bendy foam bun makers with a wavy edge. These will give your hair a wavy pattern.
