It is not necessary to use newspapers and children's drawings with a felt-tip pen or paints for files. Color paper is also not suitable. From moisture paint from them can be on the hair. The best version of the material - the usual clean school notebook or previously unused sheets of A4 paper.

- On each piece of fabric, wind a paper rectangle about 4 cm wide and 6 cm longer.
- Prepared wet hair divided into equal strands. The thinner they are, the smaller the curl will form.
- Screw each strand on a homemade papilotku. It is necessary to wind, starting from the bottom, with the tips.
- To fix, having connected the ends of a rag on a bow around the roller with hair.
- On top of papillotok tie a kerchief.
- After the hair is completely dry, you can dissolve the twisted strands. Carefully remove papilotki with curls. They need to be pulled from the middle of the roller, rather than unwinding. Carefully separate the tight curls with your fingers.
Foam rollers can be cut by yourself, if you can not buy such products. Especially when there is already an unnecessary piece of foam on hand.
To create a "light" waviness on the hair, a method with a simple beam will be suitable.
On the top of the head, a large “snail” twirls around the night. Hair should be clean and slightly damp. It is better to put on them a little mousse before twisting. In the morning on loose hair will form soft curls of a large size.
