Alright, let’s talk about this ken roller thing, you know, the things you use to curl your hair. I ain’t no fancy hairdresser or nothin’, just a regular person who’s been messin’ with hair for a good long while.
First off, you gotta start with clean hair. Don’t go tryin’ to curl dirty hair, it ain’t gonna work right. Wash it good, like you always do. Now, some folks say you gotta use this stuff called conditioner, but I say, skip it. Yeah, you heard me right. Conditioner makes your hair all slippery and the curls won’t hold. We want them curls to stay put, right? So, no conditioner.
Now, about them rollers. There’s all sorts of rollers out there, I tell ya. Some are foamy, some are hard, some got those little teeth that grab your hair, and some you gotta use them metal clip thingies with. I mostly use them gray and purple ones, the magnetic kind. They seem to work the best for me. But if you are using Velcro rollers, make sure your hair is dry, bone dry. If you’re using those foamy ones, then a little damp is okay, but not soakin’ wet, mind you.
- Wash your hair, don’t use conditioner.
- Dry your hair if using Velcro rollers; slightly damp if using foam rollers.
- Pick your rollers, I like them magnetic ones.
Okay, now for the tricky part, gettin’ them rollers in your hair. This here is where a lot of folks mess up. First, you gotta take a piece of hair, not too big, not too small. Comb it out so it ain’t all tangled. Then, you take your brush, and you smooth that hair out, twist it a little. Pull it tight, like you’re tryin’ to stretch it out. Hold it down for a bit, just a couple of seconds.
Then, you take your roller, start at the bottom of your hair, and roll it up. You gotta keep it tight, see? That’s the secret. The tighter you roll, the better the curl. Some folks, they just slap them rollers in any which way, and then they wonder why their hair looks a mess. You gotta put some effort into it, you know? Tension is the key, like them fancy folks say.
Now, how long you leave them rollers in is up to you. If you got time, leave ‘em in longer. If you’re in a hurry, a shorter time is fine too. But don’t go takin’ them out when your hair is still wet, that’s for sure. You gotta let them dry good, or else them curls will just fall right out.
And when you do take them rollers out, be gentle. Don’t just yank them out, you’ll pull your hair out with them, and nobody wants that. Start from the bottom and unroll them slowly. And don’t go brushin’ your hair out right away, let them curls set for a bit. Maybe spray a little hairspray on ‘em, if you want them to last longer.
Sometimes, things go wrong, you know? Your hair gets all tangled up. Them rollers don’t roll right. It happens. Don’t get frustrated. Just take a deep breath and start over. Hair ain’t nothin’ to get all stressed out about. It’ll grow back, even if you mess it up. And if you really can’t get the hang of it, find yourself a good hairdresser. They know all the tricks, them fancy folks do.
So, that’s about all I know about using ken rollers. It ain’t rocket science, just takes a little practice. And remember, clean hair, no conditioner, tight rolls, and a little patience. That’s all you need to get them pretty curls you always wanted. Keep your hair tangle-free when you rolling your hair too, that is important for a good curl. Good luck to ya, and don’t forget to have fun with it!
One more thing, if you’re usin’ them hot rollers, the ones that heat up, be careful. Don’t burn yourself. Them things can get mighty hot. And always make sure you put somethin’ on your hair to protect it from the heat, some kinda spray or somethin’. We don’t want no fried hair, now do we?
Anyways, that’s it. I hope this helped you out some. Now go on and get them curls lookin’ pretty. And don’t worry if it ain’t perfect the first time, nobody gets it right the first time, not even them fancy hairdressers. Just keep practicin’, and you’ll get the hang of it eventually. And remember, hair is just hair, it ain’t the end of the world if it don’t look perfect. You are beautiful, curls or no curls.
