Use velcro curlers in the size of curl you want. Spray your hair to dampen it, then section your hair and put the curlers in. If it's a sunny day, and you have the time, sit in a sunny window or outdoors to let it dry. Otherwise, use your blowdryer.

You can also, if you have time, use the old-time "rag" curl method. Great for Shirley Temple ringlets :-) Use some cotton fabric cut or ripped into strips (about 1 inch wide, 4 or so inches long). Wind a section of hair around the strip then tie the 2 ends together to secure it. Do all your hair this way, then let it dry. When you unroll your "rags", you'll have lovely curls. Very retro :-)

And, with shorter hair you can do "pin curls". Wind each small section of hair around your finger, then secure each one with 2 bobbie pins (in an X). When you unpin, you'll have lots of curls.

have fun experimenting.
