Back to Basics: Hot Rollers


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.


Here's the finished look!

Loose Updo inspired by Lauren Conrad


Lauren Conrad's loose updo was requested many times on my Facebook. Many celebrities have sported this similar look on red carpet events. This look may be a bit time consuming, but again well worth it! Here's my interpretation of the look.

What you'll need:
- hot rollers
- heat protectant
- bobbi pins
- hair spray
 First curl your hair with hot rollers

Once you remove the rollers, section your hair in half.

 Use your fingers to roll your hair up, then pin down.

 Here are the finished results!
