Only curls the end of my hair, even though I roll the whole section, help?

There are a few reasons this can happen. If you have very long hair, the hair at the outside of the roll won't heat up. Layers help a lot with hair curling! So if your hair doesn't have a lot of layers, this can be one of the reasons. If the section is too thick, the same thing happens-- the hair at the outside of the roll won't heat up at well. Try using smaller sections/less hair, and/or a bigger curler. If you still have issues, talk to your hairdresser (who is familiar with your hair/type/etc) and ask them about the best way to set your hair.

I have waist long hair, and the same thing was happening to me. Try putting the roller closer to your scalp and rolling the rest onto the roller from there, instead of the conventional "start at the end and roll your way up" method. Good luck!

Try using smaller sections and even change the direction you are rolling your hair on the roller. You may need to also leave the roller in the steam longer and don't forget to steam the roller clips.

I agree with other posters. My hair reaches to my waist. I start the roller about halfway down the section of hair, roll the ends and leave plenty of foam roller to also then roll up to the scalp. BE SURE you are steaming the plastic covers, and I always shake them quickly before I put them on, to pop off any condensation that has accumulated because those drops will cause the curl to not take. I also start at the crown doing the three front pieces framing my face first and then before unrolling I take off those 3 curlers shields, steam them again and put them on again and then remove them last. Just my way of getting the pieces that frame my face to be as nice as possible! I agree with other posters. My hair reaches to my waist.

Try to use less hair for each roll. If strand is too thick, the heat destribution will be uneven.

Hello JayI did have the same problem at the beginning. I found two technique that works for me. the first one was once done all the necesary wrap around my head i make sure to tie it on the side on my head. it doesnt matter which one, but the end not was on the side. The second which i found work better is when i style my hair in a low loose ponytail, on my last warp i tie a first not below the loose ponytail ,cross it over the top and do my last tie not on top of the pony tail. Hope it helps.BestAlex

My hairdresser said to sort of section off the hair and put at the roots. Then massage into the scalp. I part my hair at its natural part and use one "squeeze" of the product. Then I move to the sides where my hair is slightly thinner and make a part above my ears and do the same, then another part at the back of the crown and one more "squeeze". Hope this helps.

Try putting it upside down on a simmering pot of water. I had to do it several times and there was still a little curl which my husband then curled backward, it now works like it's supposed to.

You are not doing anything wrong:) It's because that is how the hair is setting. The heat molds the hair into the curl shape, unfortunately, the clip will also mold the hair....try putting the "long" side of the clip on the top of the curler instead of the short side.

I have very thick hair as well. It is not as long as yours however. Mine is just shoulder length. I use conditioner only on my ends and this tends to give a better "lift" to the hair on top of my head. After I blow dry my hair, I spray Silk Elements Mega Silk Heat Protection spray on the ends. Then roll my hair in very small sections. Make sure the rollers are fully heated and leave them in your hair until they are completely cool. I have very nice, firm curls that last at least a couple of days. Might have to touch up with just one row of curlers on day 2 and 3, but overall, I think they do an excellent job. Hope this helps.

It's amazing. Just use 1-1.5inch width of each hair section you plan to curl. Live the way this turns out.

Breanna, I love the deep waver. My hair is long and no longer holds a curl from a curling iron, by the time I clamp the end of my hair and roll up there is so much hair that the top just doesn't get curled, even using small sections. My hair is to the middle of my back (I'm 5'7") and has long layers to help with the weight. I would say hair needs to be at least shoulder length to get the correct wave. If you google this product then hit images, my hair gets those kind of waves. You can spray and scrunch for an even curly effect. I'm 100% satisfied. Styling is quick and it lasts

I pulled my hair back LIKE putting it in a ponytail, but did NOT use an elastic band. Fed the pony thru the hole (keeping the clip horizontal to the floor), spread the hair to evenly fill the gap, pulled away from my head past about 1/2 to the 3/4 mark on my hair - this way the side pieces didn't fall out, and then began rolling towards my head where the twist/spin is going in the direction of up and towards the top of my head(tucking the ends of my hair towards the inside of the roll). When you reach your scalp, roll the edges of the device towards the nape of your neck and try to pull some of the hair around it to camouflage it.

I have thick wavy hair that sounds like it is just a little shorter than yours, and this brush works fine, but only when I detangle the ends first.

If you have thick hair & hard to curl try putting moose in your hair, let it dry , then make sure the rollers are hot roll your hair & remove the rollers when they are cooled right down .Also I would think you might need 2 of these as you don' t roll a lot of hair on one roller this makes it hard to curl ,I would also spray the curls before setting, once set spray again. I have the same problem except my hair is not as thick. Hope this works for you, Happy Easter.:-)

You could but hair on a roller is layered. It may be better to steam the hair section, then roll so you can be sure the entire length gets steamed.

I have long, thick, straight hair and it did nothing for my hair :( I would suggest buying a good curling wand and brushing the curls out if u want larger wavy hair. These rollers did nothing for my hair and wouldn't even cover my whole head. Only half of it :(

It will curl my 4b/c hair only if I apply it in small sections and immediately follow with a light application of gel (I use Eco Styler). It helps the coils clump together.

My hair is shoulder length. The time you keep the iron on your hair should determine how tight your curls are. If you don't want a tight curl, less time on the iron
