How to do a Straw Set
I’ve never been courageous enough to do my own straw set (it seems like it would take hours), but I love them when I see people rocking them. It’s also a great style for transitioners because it blends the two textures very well.
Thanks to the wonderful people at Treasured Locks, I found some pretty simple instructions for a straw set.
You will need:
- A pack of plastic drinking straws(For slightly larger and looser curls, use small perm rods- available at many beauty supply stores)
- End papers
- Bobby pins
- Black Earth Crinkles & Curls or other setting lotion (make sure it’s alcohol free)
- Light hair oil
Step 1: Shampoo and condition your hair and blot dry with a towel.
Step 2: Part your hair into 1/4 to 1/2 inch sections
Step 3: Place end papers on to ends of your hair.
Step 4: Roll your hair onto the straws or perm rods and secure it with a hair pin.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4 until you have finished your entire head.
Step 6: Dry your hair under a hooded dryer.
Step 7: Gently remove the straws and separate the curls.
Step 8: Spray with a light oil and continue to spray with oil on a daily basis.
So that’s it! Tell us your tips or tricks for a straw set that will make it turn out flawlessly!
