For several years I kept my hair very long (mid-thigh length) mainly for religious reasons. After many years of wrestling with hair as well as faith, I got it cut to a more manageable shoulder-length style that will work best curled. Now I haven't used a curling iron in close to 13 years. I have no idea how to use one! I just picked one up yesterday, also a "starter set" of hot rollers. I need some good tips on how to use them and get out of the house at a decent hour! I tried using my old curling brush yesterday and it got all tangled in my new do.
