If roots have to be dark and heavy - add lots of it. Allover highlighting (including strands around face) is necessary in case of lots of texture. 2. Crimp It Pick a single section of your hair roughly two inches wide and press it with a crimping iron from slightly above roots until ends. Let rests of hair fall straight. The iron should not be too hot. Crimping will look great when you crimp one-piece near face. Besides crimping, hair also needs volume, body and curl.

For a quick root lift, wet slightly roots with a finishing spray. Keep roller mid-strand. Roll it to roots and let ends be free. Remove rollers when hair is dry. 3. Try New Perms Perms retexturize hair temporarily, adding volume, movement, body and wave. Nowadays perms are designed to last only 6 weeks. This way you can try out other styles.
