Hair How-To
- 1 Apply styling cream to damp strands, blow-dry straight, then wrap 2-inch chunks around small hot rollers, adding more styling cream as you go. 2 Secure rollers at different angles. "Mix them up so it doesn?t look so perfect," says Stegerhoek. 3 Once hair is thoroughly set, remove rollers and rake out curls. 4 Rub in a drop of shine serum to finish.

Hair How-To
- 1 Spray a 2-inch section of dry hair with volumizer. Alternating medium and large rollers, wrap hair horizontally from tips up to roots. "Start at the crown and stagger sections in a brick pattern along the back of your head," says Stegerhoek. 2 Once curls cool, remove rollers and tease roots with a finetooth comb. 3 Gather hair at the center of your head, twist up and insert large bobby pins all over to secure. 4 Tie a simple ribbon from the nape to crown.

Sleek Waves
THE LOOK Whereas curling irons can have a wide margin of error—leaving you with awkward crimps or droopy waves—"Hot rollers guarantee smooth, refined curls," says Stegerhoek.

Hair How-To
- 1 Starting with a deep side part, wrap 3-inch sections of hair under large hot rollers from tips to midshaft. 2 After curls set, remove the rollers and brush the front section to the side with a paddle brush. "Spritz the brush with a mist of hairspray beforehand for hold and shine," says Stegerhoek. 3 Gently loosen curls, by brushing through the bottom of the hair.
