  2. Lightly dry curls. For these purposes, it is not recommended to use a hair dryer, it is better to use a towel.
  3. Take a strand of hair, which should be narrower than the diameter of the curler, and wind it up. To achieve the best effect, you can use a spray or styling foam. At this stage, it is very important to properly wind the strand on the curlers. To do this, it must be wound from the tips to the very roots, so the curlers will hold tightly on the hair.
