Steps
Start on clean, damp hair. Towel dry until it is no longer dripping, then comb out all tangles from ends to roots.
Spray heat protectant and a light setting lotion or mousse through the hair so the set holds.
Divide the hair into four sections: two at the back and two at the front. Clip each section out of the way.
Take a small subsection, no wider than the roller. Place the roller at the ends and roll upward toward the scalp, keeping the hair flat and smooth.
Secure each roller with a clip or pin at the root. Repeat over the whole head, working section by section.
Sit under the hood dryer until the hair is completely dry. Check the middle rollers, since they dry slowest.
Let the hair cool for a few minutes, then remove the rollers gently, unwinding rather than pulling.
Brush each section with a round brush while following with the blowdryer on medium heat to smooth and shape the curls into a bouncy blowout.
Finish with a light oil or serum on the ends and set the style with a cool shot of air.
Tips and common mistakes
Roll each subsection tightly and evenly, because loose or lumpy sections leave dents in the finished blowout.
Do not remove the rollers until the hair is fully dry, or the set will drop within hours.
Keep the blowdryer moving and on medium heat so you do not scorch the hair you just set.
Use smaller rollers at the front for lift and larger ones at the back for smooth body.
Questions
Can I do this on natural curly hair?
Yes. The rollerset smooths and stretches curl patterns, so it works on curly, wavy and textured hair. Expect a looser, smoother result than a flat iron gives.
What if I do not have a hood dryer?
You can use a blowdryer with a bonnet attachment on low heat, but it takes much longer. A hood dryer gives the most even, reliable set.
How long does the blowout last?
With a full dry set and a light finishing oil, the style usually holds for several days. Sleep with the hair loosely pinned or in a silk scarf to keep it smooth.
