- Divide your hair into 1-2 inch sections.
- Apply the setting cream or gel. Gel is not recommended for thin or fine hair.
- Roll your hair in soft rag rollers or rag curlers. And if you feel sleeping on rollers will be uncomfortable, you can tress each division into 3 strand braids. Tie each section of the braid by using soft elastic band.
- After setting your hair, you can sleep.
- In the morning, remove the curlers or the braids and break up the curls with your fingers.
- Apply super hold hair spray all over your hair. And, here you have beautiful scrunched hair to give you a fully changed look.
