Hi All

I've had poker straight hair all my life and I'd LOVE to have some bouncy curls for special occasions.

I've bought some heated rollers which give a lovely curl but unfortunately they just don't last. I've tried a few different brands of mousse/hairspray etc but the longest I ever get is about 2 hours - then I'm left with kinda straggly "rats tails" that look dreadful!!

I've really fine hair too so a lot of products make my hair really greasy or they're too heavy and seem to drag the curls down rather than keep them in

Is there anything I could use that might make the curls last the whole night without giving me a grease ball or crispy hair??!!

Try putting in just a little mousse so you don't weigh it down.
Have you tried blowdrying it curly? Use 2 or 3 round brushes and just pick up thin enough sections to roll the hair onto the brush and leave each one on the brush for a minute or so....will take some time to get the hang of it.
I do it with 2 brushes in my hair - dont really get curls but more so waves and loads of volume
hope that helps
