I have almost all-one-length hair that I'm growing out from a chin-length bob. It's now just above my shoulders.
I've recently discovered that if I comb in a really deep part, and sleep with medium sponge rollers in my hair (I set my hair when it's dry), I can just wake up in the morning, brush it out, and have spectacular 40s waves that frame one side of my face. If I use smaller curlers around my face, I'll have an equally spectacular 30s marcel. I can also do a 50s do with the same exact set - I just brush it differently. I love it! However, I've noticed some breakage from the rollers, so I'm thinking about investing in the satin covered sponge rollers in the African American section. Has anyone tried those?
Also, the kind of brush you use is really important. I use the cheapo goody brush you can buy at Walgreens. They're usually blue or green and have sturdy bristles that don't create static. Brushing technique is almost as important as setting the hair, so practice, practice, practice!
