Guidance... Ringlets in shoulder length hair

Hey guys, I have shoulder length hair and I wanted to attempt to do ringlets in it.

I have a small curling tongs which i think I could use to do it too, but what other products can I use to make the curls stay - gel, hairspray, wax?

Help...

I need to know how to do it too... well, for my sister to do it anyway...

If anyone can help, I'll be very grateful!!!

Go to youtube (or you can google it as well) and type in 'how to make ringlet curls'. There are several videos showing you how to do them with curling tongs.

In terms of hair products, I agree with Taj. Use some kind of setting foam or hair spray. Then spray a little Organic Root Stimulator olive oil sheen when you're done to give it some shine.

Cheers guys, straight after I posted this, I found some Elasta spritz which I used and I did them ok... I was just unsure on how to make them stay without damaging my hair.

I did the front and I have to do the back, well my sister is going to do it for me.

I like it so far, but it is hard work no lie.
