I have very thick, straight, long hair; What is the best way to get my hair to hold a curl?

I would rather not use a ton of hair spray. I've used steam rollers before, and that works reasonably well, but the curls usually fall out after about 3 hours. Should I put gel on wet, clean hair and then use steam rollers?I have very thick, straight, long hair; What is the best way to get my hair to hold a curl?
Honey, For us both being blondes, its ';RARE'; for us to have thick hair, according to all of the Beautician's I've been too, anyway.. As for keeping a curl in your hair, at night, I usually put my hair in a twist, so it doesn't get all broken-up, while I'm sleeping, and in the A.Ms I'll take out the scrungy, and my hair will have the prettiest wavy curl to it....... But, for when I've curled it, I would just have a cup of warm water to just wet it a tad, and then put the curlers in, and VWALLAA!!!! Hopefully this will work for you too!! Try both ways, when I wrap my hair in the twist at nights, I just simply put my head upside down, and twist gentle in a spiral, until my hair becomes like in a bun, then put the scrungy on around it, and the next morning its all wavy and curly in some parts, its pretty cool, try that one too!!! Good Luck to you, and Merry Christmas, to you %26amp; yours!! Smile!!I have very thick, straight, long hair; What is the best way to get my hair to hold a curl?
straight hair is sexy....have some bangs , leave it that way...curly hair is gross
Use a lot a lot of hair spray with hot curlers that would solve your problem
after a shower put hair in a few braids. the less braids the looser waves/curls.





or curl your hair with a curler and while its around the curler.. put a little bbit of hairspray on it
your hair and scrunch it a few times until the gel holds it.
use setting lotions and flexible rollers it will set the curl and fluff your curls out.
wash ur hair.. towel dry it.. put mousse on ur hair.. use rollers.. heat using a hair dreyer.. DO NOT REMOVE ROLERS BEFORE UR HAIR IS COMPLETELY DRY.. then put a little hairspray
Don't worry i have long thick hair just like u and i put hairspray then use a curler
i am jealous....i want streight hair...i have curly hair.....u dont no how many people would want ur hair right now..........well , any way u can brush it when u get out of the shower, then drown it with gel or mouse.....twist ur hair while it dries ..u can hold it in place with clips.


or u can use a curler.......take a strand and spray it with hair sprey then use the curler........that way it stays longer if u put it in before.
Use aussie! That stuff worked for me and my hair is medium length but its so very thick! I'm positive it will work for you. Or else get a special shampoo for curly hair. You could also gel your hair and scrunch it a few times until the gel holds it. You don't need steam rollers with gel. I just scrunch mine and it's curly all day!
go to sally's hair and nail salon, sumthin like that, and find an 18'; long curler. its the color yellow. my hair is very thick too and i bought it. it holds really good!
