I have long, fine hair but theres a lot of it. When I put my hair in heated rollers or with a curling tong the curls come out on the end of my hair. I have naturally straight hair but it would be really nice if I could have loose curls from my roots. any tips?

You need to put the tip of your hair nearest the roller and roll up side ways. When you take it out the rollers must be COLD. do not take the hair out if rollers are still hot, it will just drop. the best thing we have always done is to rag curl the hair and sleep on it,— use sponge rollers, take off the outside plastic bit, or large pieces of cotton wool – normally the pleated type works very well , you can use 1 pleat or 2 depending on size of curl you want. Roll up pieces of hair side ways, attach to head with kerri grips . Pull the rag curls out in the morning and turn your head upside down and shake – never comb out a curl, push your hands through hair if you want fuller, more separated curls. Google– rag curls — remember the thicker the cotton wool the bigger the curls will be.. you don't want tiny ringlets so use cotton wool or sponge rollers.

So many people have this problem. okay, first thing to do is take them out one at a time. each section you take out, use some flexible hair spray, and pin curl that section. you prob dont know what that means..umm. Get like bobby pins or somthing, and curl the hair back into a curl like it was in the hot roller, then clip it with your clip. I hope that makes sence. if you do that to each of your curls, and you use some hair spray it will help them stay in longer. also, before you even put in hot rollers or whatever, comb moose through your hair with you fingers from roots to ends, or do that with a volumizing product or root lifting product!(in your wet hair before drying it!) I hope i helped! sorry if i didnt explain that clearly enough!

put a light coat of hairspray on each strand before roling it, make sure you roll it tight and leave it in for several minutes, and respray after.
it works for me so hopefully this helps!

Take a tip from an older woman

Try setting your hair when it is still damp with some old fashioned salon type rollers and pins, and remember to use some setting lotion and then let your hair air dry (will take a few hours depending on how thick and long your hair is) or failing this try a shampoo and set at a hair salon,

How to Use Hair Rollers to Set Wet Hair
Overview
Curling irons and hot rollers can be damaging to your hair. If you are looking for a kinder, gentler way to curl your hair, consider using hair rollers when it is wet. Although this can be more time-consuming than using more modern ways to curl your hair, it is less likely to damage it. Follow these steps and you will be able to set wet hair using rollers.
Step 1
Dampen your hair and comb it. make sure it is tangle-free. Smooth hair is easier to work with, and will help your get even results.
Step 2
Use a hairstyling product that will help your hair hold the curls. This can be a mousse, gel or spray. you can use the product of your choice on your entire head of hair at once, or on each individual curl. If your hair doesn't hold curls well, you can do both. be careful not to use too much product. you could end up with a sticky mess or curls that are too stiff to style properly.
Step 3
Section your hair. Separate it into four parts: the top, both sides (around the ears) and the back. Pin each of the sections of hair tightly against your head.
Step 4
Starting with the front of the top section of hair, unpin it and comb it out again, being careful not to interfere with the other sections that are pinned up.
Step 5
Carefully roll a small portion of this section of hair on the roller. If you want spiral curls, arrange the rollers vertically. start at the roots and move the roller to the ends of your hair. with your thumb, hold the roots to the roller and roll your hair around the curler. move your thumb and continue rolling your hair down to the roots. Roll it as tightly as possible, so it will not fall later. Use the appropriate clip to hold the roller as close to your scalp as possible. Remember that large sections of hair on individual rollers will produce loose curls, and smaller sections of hair on individual rollers will make tighter curls. Continue this same process with the top section of your hair. If you notice your hair is drying, you can lightly mist it with water from a spray bottle.
Step 6
Repeat the preceding step on the side sections of hair. make sure the amount of hair being curled on one roller is the same for all the rollers, so your curls are similar. Once the sides are curled, repeat the process on the back section of your hair. If you like, spray a hair product made for wet hair to help form the curls.
Step 7
Allow your hair to dry completely before you remove the rollers. If you are in a hurry, you can use a blow dryer to dry your hair. Use the lowest speed possible. you can also use a diffuser so you won't blow your hair out of the rollers.
Step 8
Carefully remove the rollers, starting in the back. Always remove the rollers in the opposite order to how you put them in. you can lightly spray each curl with hairspray to help hold the curl. be careful not to use too much spray.
Step 9
Style your hair. for a wavy look, brush out the curls. for tighter curls, gently run your fingers through your hair to only slightly loosen the curls. you can use a finishing spray to help hold the hairstyle if you like.
