1950's, 1960's & 1970's Hair - Using heated rollers - Technical File

Equipment required:-
  • Heated rollers
  • Pin tail comb
  • Paddle brush
  • Bobby pins
  • Sectioning clips
  • Big hair clips to place over rollers to keep them in place

Step by step:-
  • Turn on the heated rollers and wait for them to heat up. They have to be at a reasonable heat in order for them to work so it may take a while to heat them
  • Section the hair using sectioning clips
  • Keep each section neat using a pin tail comb
  • Comb through all the sections
  • Start from the front of the hair and place the rollers in the direction you want the hair to fall
  • Choose the correct sized roller and roll the roller down the hair and make sure it sits on the section, not the next section
  • Clip the rollers in place using hair clips
  • Use the brick work technique down the rest of the hair using larger sized rollers to create a lift
  • Once all the rollers are set in the hair hair, wait for them to cool down and then release them
  • Finally, to finish style the hair to the look you have chosen using a paddle brush









When creating my hair style using heated rollers I found it very useful as I have previously used heated rollers before and by using them again it helped to improve my experience and confidence. It also helped me to improve on my brick work skills which I now also feel  much more confident with. 
One thing I feel I struggled with slightly was securing the rollers tightly in place so it sat on its section. They seemed to flop slightly as they weren't secured tightly enough and this made it look a bit untidy. However I feel this could  be due to me using the incorrect size roller, not rolling the roller down the hair tightly enough or the hair just simply being too soft. 
Apart from this I feel the outcome was very successful, and feel I managed to style the hair well to match the desired look. I feel with more practice, the more and more I will improve and also the faster I will be able to complete this hair style as I found it took me quite some time to complete.
