When you have short hair, you’ll need more rollers, especially for tight curls. This is because only small sections of hair will fit on each roller.

Some hair may be too short to roll. In that case, you can still add a curl to the tip of your hair by wrapping just the end around part of the roller. If you have wavy or curly hair, you can twist your hair instead of using rollers. Use your fingers to twist small sections. Once those twists dry, they can be unwound, resulting in gorgeous spiral curls.

It’s best to sit under a heated dryer if you can, as it will evenly disperse the air. If you are curling your hair with hot rollers, make sure the rollers are completely cold before removing them.

If your hair is only slightly curly, you may be able to straighten it with a mousse and a straightening comb alone. Skip the hairdryer, and instead allow your hair to air dry with the serum distributed through it.

Since the bobby pins may show in your short hair, choose a color that matches your hair color. Get a good supply of bobby pins in different lengths. They can fall out easily and you’ll need different lengths depending on how much hair you’re pulling back. Spray dry shampoo or texture spray on your bobby pins so they are less likely to slip out of your hair. Remember that bobby pins should be used with the wavy side facing your scalp since the ridges are there to grip your hair and lock everything in place. [5] X Research source

To achieve a tighter style and hide your pins, just point the open end of the pin against the direction that your hair is pulled. Then rotate the pin so the open end is now facing the same direction as the hair, and push it in toward your head to secure it. The pins will not only pull your hair tighter but also be unnoticeable beneath your tresses.
