QuestionHow do you curl the bottom of the twist?Community AnswerBuy perm rods in the right size for the curls you want, and roll the hair the direction you want around the rods and dip the ends in hot water. Once you take out the rod then the hair should curl. They're usually around $3 a bag. If you want more curls then put 4 to 5 twists on each perm rod. Don't use flexirods or regular rollers because they will burn from the high heat.
