2. Getting Started

2.1 Package Contents:

• 1 Roll & Go Hair Tool
• 28-page instruction booklet by Lauren Rennells (author of Vintage Hairstyling: Retro Styles with Step-by-Step Techniques). This booklet provides detailed directions for various styles, including victory rolls and pin curls.

2.2 Hair Preparation:

The Roll & Go Hair Tool can be used on both dry and wet hair, depending on the desired style. For best results, ensure your hair is at least 4 inches (10 cm) long. For certain styles, applying a small amount of styling product (e.g., pomade, setting lotion) can help achieve a sleeker finish and better hold.

3. Operating Instructions

The Roll & Go Hair Tool features two different sized ends for maximum versatility. The smaller end is ideal for tighter rolls or shorter sections, while the larger end is suitable for larger rolls or longer hair sections.

3.1 General Rolling Technique:

1. Section Hair: Isolate the section of hair you wish to roll. Ensure it is smooth and free of tangles.
2. Position Tool: Place the desired end of the Roll & Go Hair Tool at the ends of the hair section.
3. Roll Hair: Begin rolling the hair upwards around the tool, guiding the hair evenly. The comb teeth help to grip the hair and maintain tension.
4. Secure Roll: Once the hair is rolled to the desired position (e.g., close to the scalp for a victory roll), carefully slide the tool out while holding the roll in place. Secure the roll with bobby pins or hair clips.
5. Refine: Gently shape and smooth the roll with your fingers or a fine-tooth comb, applying additional styling product if needed.

3.2 Specific Styles:

• Victory Rolls: For classic victory rolls, section hair from the front of your head. Backcomb the roots for volume if desired. Use the tool to roll the section towards your head, creating a cylindrical shape. Pin securely. The included instruction booklet provides detailed steps.
• Pin Curls: On wet hair, use the tool to create tight, even pin curls. Roll small sections of hair around the tool, then secure flat against the scalp with a pin. Allow hair to dry completely before removing pins. The instruction booklet offers comprehensive guidance.
• Chignons & French Twists: Utilize the tool's teeth to rotate and tuck sections of hair into updos, helping to create a neat and structured finish.
• Natural Curl Enhancement (2C, 3A, 3B): On wet natural curls, gently rotate the smaller end of the tool through individual curl clumps to define and reshape them. Allow to air dry or diffuse.

Refer to the included 28-page instruction booklet for visual guides and advanced techniques for various hairstyles.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Roll & Go Hair Tool, follow these simple maintenance steps:

• Cleaning: After each use, remove any trapped hair from the comb teeth. You can use a small brush or another comb to gently dislodge hair.
• Washing: Periodically, wash the tool with mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
• Storage: Store the tool in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter difficulties while using your Roll & Go Hair Tool, consider the following:

• Hair Slipping: Ensure the hair section is not too large or too small for the chosen end of the tool. Applying a light styling product (e.g., hairspray, pomade) to the section before rolling can improve grip and hold.
• Roll Not Holding Shape: This may indicate insufficient tension during rolling or inadequate pinning. Try rolling with firmer tension and securing the roll with multiple bobby pins. For wet sets, ensure hair is completely dry before removing pins.
• Difficulty with Specific Styles: Refer to the detailed instructions in the included 28-page booklet. Practice is key to mastering new styling techniques. Online tutorials may also provide additional visual guidance.
