I spray my hair before I style, while the rollers are in and afterwards as well.
It depends on if you want a harder, stiff curl or a soft curl.
Have you ever thought about having your hair wetset? Shampoo your hair, put setting lotion in it, then curl it with rollers and get up under the dryer. You're curls will be the SHI..I love wetset curls...They last long too. Either a week or 2.
When I had my extensions, I used a wide barrel curling iron to get large spiral curls, and I would wrap my hair around the curling iron, and then spray it with hairspray before I removed the curling iron.
Don't wash your hair within 12-24 hrs prior to curling your hair and the curls will stay in alot longer.
^^^^ Very true. If you can't go that long without washing your hair, then after you wash it, put some light-hold gel in your hair before you dry it. This gives the hair some texture so the curl will hold better. If your hair is too soft and clean, then the curls will not hold, but the gel "dirties up" your hair a bit.
