The hair was simple. I heated my hair with hot rollers. Don't know how? Here is a simple hair tutorial. After applying rollers, allow them to cool down for at least 15 minutes. Remove the rollers and start rolling about 4 sections of hair in the front, setting it in place with bobbi pins. Bring the rest of your hair up to a high ponytail. Wrap your ponytail into a loose bun (to allow volume) and pin in place.
Once your hair and makeup is done, just accessorize with a button up flannel, hoop earrings, a bandana, and loose jeans!

Step 1: Bring your hair up to a high ponytail. On the last loop, only allow a small section through without pulling all the way (creating a small loop).
Step 2: Wrap the remaining hair around the base of your ponytail and bobbi pin in place
Step 3: Fan out your loop manipulate your hair shape. bobbi pin in place.
Step 4: Smooth out your hair with hair gel and secure your top knot with hair spray.
Hot rollers are one of the easiest ways to curl your hair with little time and effort. I use conair jumbo hot rollers which I got from Walmart for about $30.00. It comes with 4 super jumbo (1 3/4 inches) and 8 jumbo (1 1/2 inches ) hot rollers, along with hair pins to set in place.
I start off by plugging in the rollers and allowing it to heat up for about 10 minutes. I take the super jumbo size roller and use them at the top of my head. Its easier to wrap your hair starting in the middle rather than the end, that way you get a tight grip and prevents your hair from slipping out. I prefer curling away from the face.
I used three of the super jumbo rollers at the top, and the rest of the jumbo rollers everywhere else. Watch the video below to see where I position the rollers. Once all are in, allow the rollers to cool down (the longer, the better!) I gave my hair 20 minutes before removing the rollers.
I run my fingers through my hair to loosen up the curls and finish off the look with Loreal paris Elnett hairspray. Elnett is perfect for soft curls cause it doesn't stiffen your hair or make it flake.
Remember those pink sponge rollers your mom used on your when you were a kid? Those didn't go too well for me. The plastic clips always fell out during my sleep, leaving random odd shaped curls throughout my hair. Thankfully I discovered sponge rods! I've seen them at beauty stores and even drugstores. The ones I bought are 15mm Hot Tools. Eight dollars for 10 rods. They're a little thicker than the ones i've seen at my local walmart.
They're very simple to use. I applied a curling mousse to my clean damp hair before curling. I sectioned off my hair (as usual when curling) and took about 2 inch sections. Starting at my ends, I wrapped my hair around the middle of the rods and rolled it up. Secure the rod by folding in the ends.
It was surprisingly comfortable sleeping in the curlers. It didn't pull my hair while I moved, they were really flexible. After about 8 hours, the rollers were still in the same place.
To remove the rollers, simply unfold the rods and twirl them out rather than pull them out. Don't be alarmed when you end up looking like a curly sue.
After gently running my fingers through my hair and some hair styling oil, here's how the final look turned out.
