Divaz Hair Instructions/Options

Please choose the method that works best for you. Method #1 is the best method for strong hold and consistent curls. If #1 does not work for you, then try #2. You can use #3 if all else fails. TIMING is the key. Make sure that you have practiced and know EXACTLY how long it takes for you to do your hair. Also, pay attention to how long your hair holds using the method that you choose. The longer the better! Also-it is a good idea for everyone to bring a curling iron to competitions for touch ups.

Method #1-Sponge rollers

1. Wash hair and dry hair. After washing put a styling mousse in hair. When should you wash your hair? That depends on each girl. Some like to roll their hair when it’s a little bit dirty (at night after washing in morning). Others get better results with freshly washed and dried hair. Figure out what is best for you.

2. Before rolling each section of hair, put a light styling gel on it. Any styling gel you can get from Target or Walmart will do.

3. Use sponge rollers that are on the small size (no bigger than 1.5 in diameter) Don’t use anything that says "jumbo" on the package.

4. Start rolling hair starting right above the forehead. Section off hair using pointy end of comb. The hair on the top, middle section of the head should be rolled straight back. You should have a row of curlers going from just above forehead all the way to nape of the neck.

5. Now roll the sides downward. (Some people roll these slightly away from face)

6. Remember: the key to proper rolling is to use a lot of rollers in small sections and to make sure that you use a styling mousse before rolling the DRY hair.

7. Sleep on these and take out in the morning. Separate curls into smaller sectionsand spray with hairspray.

8. Make the pouf! (see separate instructions at the very end)

9. Spray with LOTS of hairspray to hold 

Method #2-Hot Rollers

These can sometimes be difficult because there are too many LARGE rollers and not enough rollers in general in a set. The average head is going to need around 20-40 rollers and most hot roller sets only come with about 20 rollers and many are too big. However, I have seen online some roller sets with just small rollers. Sally Beauty may have them or be able to order them for you. This method can only be done the day of competitions and needs time for the rollers to fully cool before taking out. However, this method can work if you have time in the morning and don’t want to sleep on curlers.

1. Wash hair and dry hair. After washing put a styling mousse in hair. When should you wash your hair? That depends on each girl. Some like to roll their hair when it’s a little bit dirty (at night after washing in morning).Others get better results with freshly washed and dried hair. Figure out what is best for you.

2. Before rolling each section of hair, spray liberally with hairspray. This will help the hair hold the curl.

3. Start rolling hair starting right above the forehead. Section off hair using pointy end of comb. The hair on the top, middle of the head should be rolled straight back. You should have a row of curlers going from just above forehead all the way to nape of the neck.

4. Now roll the sides. Roll these sections downward or slightly away from the face.

5. Remember: the key to proper rolling is to use a lot of rollers in small sections and to make sure that you use hairspray before rolling the DRY hair.

6. Take out rollers after they have thoroughly cooled. Separate curls into smaller sections and spray with hairspray.

7. Make the pouf! (see separate instructions at the very end)

8. Spray with LOTS of hairspray to hold 

Method # 3-Curling Iron/wand/or other curling mechanism

The problem with the curling iron/wand is that when you are at a school, there are often not enough outlets near mirrors, etc. Also, this takes quite a bit of time and you will be up at 3 am before a competition getting your hair ready. Also, the curls from a curling iron/wand often don’t last as long as the other methods. But if this REALLY works for you, then go for it! Just make sure that you know how long it will take you to curl it WELL.

1. Wash hair and dry hair. After washing put a styling mousse in hair. When should you wash your hair? That depends on each girl. Some like to roll their hair when it’s a little bit dirty (at night after washing in morning). Others get better results with freshly washed and dried hair. Please figure out what is best for you.

2. Before curling each section of hair, spray liberally with hairspray. This will help the hair hold the curl.

3. Use a curling iron/wand with a 1 inch barrel or smaller. Curl small sections of the hair holding the barrel vertically (so curls come out as locks). Get curl to start as close to scalp as possible. Separate curls into smaller sections and spray with hairspray.

4. Make the pouf! (see separate instructions at the very end)

5. Spray with LOTS of hairspray to hold 

THE POUF

1. Pull the front section of your hair up and away from your face, "poofing" it up. Backcomb the hair to create volume, spray with hairspray. You should not have any hair covering the front of your ears or ear lobes. A good line of reference is where your ears meet the sides of your face. If you follow this line up, you should poof all this hair from this line to forehead.

2. You will need to use bobby pins to hold the poof in place. Spray liberally with hairspray so that it does not fall while performing. 
