Watch me Werk 💁🏾♀️
On today’s episode of Laid and Slayed, we have our beautiful mannequin Angel who got a cute partial updo with a set of a roller curls. On this episode of you watching me through and through as I both placed the curls in and continue with the takedown
Styling roller curls into a partial updo can truly elevate your look, combining both elegance and playfulness. In my experience working with this technique, it’s all about preparation and patience. Before placing the curls, make sure the hair is clean, detangled, and slightly damp to hold the shape better. I find using rollers with the right size is key to achieving the desired curl texture — smaller rollers create tighter curls, ideal for volume and intricate designs, while larger rollers give a more relaxed, bouncy effect. When working on a mannequin or client, sectioning the hair properly helps maintain control and ensures each curl is evenly formed. During the placement, I secure each roller carefully, as improper fastening can lead to flattened curls or uneven distribution. While air-drying or using a hooded dryer, it’s important not to rush the setting process to allow curls to fully set for maximum hold. Taking down the rollers is both exciting and delicate. Gently unraveling each curl helps maintain their shape and prevents frizz. Using fingers rather than a comb to separate curls results in a softer, more natural finish. For lasting hold, I typically recommend applying a lightweight serum or hairspray to lock the style in place without weighing it down. Overall, this partial updo with roller curls is a versatile look perfect for various occasions, from casual outings to formal events. Watching the entire styling process not only inspires creativity but also teaches valuable techniques for those aiming to master this hairstyle themselves.
