Spend time putting in the curl only to have it fall out?

Make sure you cool your curls while styling your hair. If you use a curling iron, clip the curl in place while you do the next one. This allows it time to cool and set. If you use hot, velcro or steam rollers be sure the hair is cool to the touch before taking them out. For added hold, use Robert Craig's Spray Gel on each strand before you wrap it on a roller, curler or use the iron.
