Micro braids & Curls?

Hello, I plan to wear micro braids for my wedding. However, I want curls. How do I do that? Should I buy a set of hot rollers. because I am getting married in vegas so I need something quick and convient. What is the best method to curl micro braids? is it curling with a curling iron? Or roller set the hair with foaming lotion and sit under dryer? Or use hot rollers? I have been trying to find pics of this, but it is hard. Let me know your thoughts!!Micro braids %26amp; Curls?
NO HOT ROLLERS!!! Not unless you want your microbraids to MELT and look a mess!!! The foaming lotion isn't going to work either, but here's what will. First get yourself some sponge (that's right, the one's your grandma used to have) rollers. Set the microbraids on the sponge rollers and then spray them with hot/warm water (a hot shower works too). Then spray with a holding spray. Blow dry and take the rollers out. Voilaaaaa!!! Curls!!! Or, you could just get your hair microbraided with the already curly hair. If you go to a beauty supply store they should have lots of spiral and kinky curls.Micro braids %26amp; Curls?
When you use a quality micro braid hair it does not melt! this is boloney! You can roll them with hot rollers!

get the small flexi rods. the red ones will do. probably 2 packs. get them at a beauty supply store. wet sections of your braids. put the rods on the small sections. let fully dry. you don't have to sit under a dryer. do it the night before or at least in the morning. do not load your hair with water. use a spray bottle and spray on a enough to moisten them.





when putting in the flexi rods. put your ends around the rod. roll down. when you get to the scalp (or wherever you want the curl to start) fold the ends down the opposite way you rolled. if you roll going back fold the ends down to the front. when you take the rods out start unrolling then halfway down, then start pulling them out slowly so that they spiral.





your hair has to be fully dry when you take them down or it will be a bust. hope it turns out good. happy nuptuals.
For S curls. Braid your braids in bigger braids.( about 12 for you whole head). Then make knots at the end of each braid. Then boil some very hot water. Then put as much of the braids in hot water for about 30 seconds each untill you do all the 12 or more braids. Make sure you don't burn yourself! Towel it dry, and let them natually dry or use a dryer. When it's dry, undo the big braids that you did and...you're done. Beautiful S curls.


This process is NOT reversable. Your micro braids will stay curled until you take them out.


I've been doing that for years! Works every time!
