Tip 1:

Lift sections of your hair at the root with your fingers to create supportive lift that lasts.  Massage the roots with your fingers for more texture at the crown.

Tip 2:

Use velcro rollers to add bounce and body to long waves.  Be sure to blow dry each section of your hair individual before rolling to help curls retain shape.

Tip 3:

Use a technique called back-combing to give you an extra boost at the crown.  Lift a section of the hair and comb backwards, building support at the root.
