The Straw Set

Wearing a straw set is a great way to eliminate the need for a lot
of combing and a great style to try while in the transition of going
natural.  To get this look, you will need drinking straws or even small perm
rods for slightly bigger and looser curls, setting lotion, and hair end
tissue papers.
Step 1:  Shampoo and condition hair and saturate it with setting lotion.
Step 2:  Part you hair into 1/4 to 1/2 inch sections and place end papers on
the end of your hair.
Step 3:  Roll your hair onto the straws and secure it with a hair pin.
Step 4:  Repeat steps 1-3 until you have finished your entire head.
Step 5:  Dry your hair under a hard hat or bonnet hair dryer
Step 6:  Remove the straws and separate curls with your fingers
For this style, you will only need to finger comb your hair, but be sure to
spray it with oil sheen so it won't get too dry.

 

Sleek Wrap

A wrap set is a great way to get a sleek look!  You will need a comb, setting lotion and hair clips (these are optional depending upon how long your hair is) and/or some paper wrap strips.
Step 1:  Shampoo and condition your hair and apply setting lotion
Step 2:  Use your comb and comb/wrap your hair around in a beehive or
circle, blending the hair together all around your head
Step 3:  Secure where you hair joins with hair clips, or you can place a
wrap strip around your head to secure your hair in place
Step 4:  Dry your hair under a hooded dryer, remove clips or wrap strip and
comb and style

 

Doobie Wrap (Dry Wrap or Roller Wrap Set)

To do the roller wrap set, also know as the doobie, you will need to roller set your hair, dry it under a hooded dryer, take the rollers out, then comb/brush your hair around in a wrap).  Leave it wrapped for a while and when you comb it down, you will have big loose wavy curls with lots of body.
