On behalf of Expert Village, this is Jean Paree, this is Gloria VanWoerkom. I'm here helping Rebecca, and what we're going to do right now is we are going to teach her how to style this if she wants to. So what I need to do is probably get a hot roller and I can show her how to put the hit rollers in. If I can get Julie to grab me a hot roller please and I can show Rebecca how to put this hot roller in her hair and how to turn in how long to leave it in. If you decided you want to have it like a little more of a curl toward the face, a little bit more of a heavier curl hen what we could do is we could use hot rollers. You can not use a curling iron because it melts the fibers. Our fibers only take hot rollers. Hot rollers have a protective coating on them. So you take the electric roller and you put it at the very base the roller, turn it around so you won't get any fish hooks in it. Then just turn it very, very lightly, and turn it up. So what you want to o is just leave it in for just a few seconds and you can use this roller so that it can be very, very hot. So just turn it and leave it for a few minutes and when you take the roller out it just bounces the girl right back in. See? If she wants more curl then we can leave it in just a little bit longer and if she wants a higher curl with more body then we can start the roller at the top and bring it all the way down to the end, which works very well. So if she wants, do you want to make a lot of curl, if she wants to flip it out we can flip it out, you can turn it under and that's what 's so nice about, very important about having good fibers because you can curl it and it will do different things for you. So if you decide that you want it curly, after you've shampooed it, then go ahead and put your hot rollers through it and let it set for just a few minutes, take the hot rollers out, brush it very lightly then you can go ahead and style it any way you like and if you feel like you don't want to do that then we'd be happy to help you here at Jean Paree.
