How do you create a C curve with a roller?

Creating a C curve with a roller involves one complete turn of the roller around the hair strand. This technique effectively shapes the hair into a curved form, which is essential for creating volume and texture in various hairstyles.

When you use a roller, the aim is to hold the hair in a way that allows it to set properly into the desired curve. A single complete turn achieves this by maintaining a balance between tension and support. It creates the natural curvature without overly tightening or distorting the hair.

In contrast, making additional turns, such as one and a half or two complete turns, may lead to a tighter curl that does not resemble the intended C shape. Moreover, it might cause more stress on the hair, potentially resulting in damage or an undesirable look. Thus, understanding the correct number of turns required is critical for achieving the desired styling effect.
