Hi friends! Fan of the retro look? Wavy hair, red lips, all things feminine and girly? Me too!
I get so many compliments and questions on how to achieve these retro curls when I wear my hair this way, that I thought I'd share! It's all about the hot rollers.
Rollers can actually create so many different styles, depending on how you roll your hair. I often just stick them in randomly all over my head to get a messy, wavy style. (I originally posted about that here.)But I have found that with some careful placement, and the "direction" you roll the curl, retro is easy!
- The key is rolling "back" and tight in the front section, winding the ends around the curler completely.
- Do not remove the rollers until they are completely cooled.
- Once they are out, run a shine serum through and brush your hair neatly, keeping the curls tight and polished.
- Finish with a mist of hair spray to set the style.
I use these cheapo hot rollers from Target. They have lasted for years and are perfect for travel too! Good luck! Let me know if you try it! xx



wow- you look like a million bucks! i used to use hair rollers as well, but have lately just been giving myself the "beachy waves" look with my straightener. i think i might go back to rollers though, you've persuaded me =) and i love the red lip! i just posed about trying out bold, pink lipstick....
