I have naturally curly hair, so I used scotch tape to tape down my bangs and then set my hair with these huge pink rollers held to each other with long bobby pins. It’s a wonder I ever got any sleep. It didn’t go exactly straight, but enough to have a flip only on the ends. Sealed the deal with a ton of Aqua Net hair spray. 😁. Fun to look back and laugh at myself!😁
