Styling:
 
The styling options for this particular short haircut are many and varied. Depending on the amount of time you have and the length of time you need the hairstyle to hold, you can choose between thermal styling with a curling iron or hot rollers or a traditional wet roller set. The curling iron/hot roller method will give you faster results, but the wet roller set will offer a long-lasting style.
 
After shampooing and conditioning the hair, decide how you plan to style it. If you intend to use a roller set style, choose a product to provide the amount of hold you want. Use a mousse for softer hold and curls, a setting lotion for firmer curls and stronger hold, or a styling gel for the strongest hold and curls.
 
Wrap the hair around the rollers and secure them with off-base placement to minimize volume. Wrap the hair on the rollers in the pattern shown in the illustration. The rollers should be of sufficient size so that the hair winds around the roller one and a half times. Once the hair is wrapped, allow it to dry naturally, or sit under a bonnet or hooded dryer until fully dried.
 
How to roller style short hair for a Kimberly Caldwell look
 
If you choose not to use a wet roller set, blow dry the hair using a diffuser attachment and a leave-in conditioner to protect the hair from heat damage. Once the hair is fully dry, lightly mist with hairspray and allow it to dry. Then use your hot rollers or curling iron to create the desired curls.
 
Once you have the desired curls, whether from a wet set or thermal styling tools, use a wide-tooth comb to break up the curl and soften the overall style. Follow up with a light application of pomade, smoothing serum, or mousse (applied with the fingers) to add some definition to the styled curls. A misting of hairspray will set the style for lasting hold.
