    Default How to get this hair

    Hiya wel I really love this hairstyle but I kinda suck at getting my hair how I want it to be.. I have hot rollers in various sizers and curling tongs 1/2" / 1" and 2" how could I get this sort of style and root volume and make it last without being crunchy from hairspray..and what sort of hair cut would be best.. I wear extensions too

    I think the hair cut is simple, just long layers. It seems like you would have to back comb and tease the Hell out of your hair to get it that big! I would use one of those teasing combs, and then just curl the rest in section with a curling iron, starting at the bottom. I would do one curl, then pin them as you go, and take them all out at the end.

    Whenever I try just curling my hair it doesnt turn out like that but I think it could just be me! I havent tried the pinning up then taking out at the end though Ill give it a go thanks!

    Use little clips like this: http://www.sallybeauty.com/Metal-Duc...efault,pd.html

    or bobby pins, so they don't put dents in the curls

    Have you tried really big curlers ?
    Kind of like the old soup can ones.

    ^^^^^ that would be good for the top portion, to give it that volume without so much teasing. I didn't think of that

    Teasing, pinning the curls, and big rollers are key to the look, but unless you have a TON of hair, you'll never achieve that look. Most of the time (and it looks like it in that photo, since Jessica Alba usually has very thin hair) they put in extensions to add volume.

    An even easier method?
    Get a lace front wig~ Those can last more than a year, and you only need to reapply it every 4-6 weeks. x_x I'm in love with them now!

    I don't think you can do that without really thick hair. If your hair is thick and coarse, it'll be easy. Just blowdry with a round brush for smooth volume on top, curl the bottom with 1-1.5 inch curling iron or hot rollers, backcomb the underside of the top a tiny bit and spray the underside to maintain volume then smooth over the top and finish by fingercombing the bottom. I looove this look and do it all the time.
