Straw sets are a natural tightly curled look for extremely curly hair. Straw sets were given the name because they are literally created by wrapping the hair around small drinking straws. This style requires a high level of moisturizing to prevent it from frizzing and looking puffy. The best way to moisturize a straw set is to start out with a high concentration of moisturizing styling cream and then maintain the moisture by spraying the hair with moisturizing spray daily.

Wash the hair with moisturizing shampoo and rinse. Follow with a leave-in conditioner.

Divide the hair into ½-inch sections. Coat each section with about a pin-size drop of styling cream.

3

Put the hair into the straw set by twisting the ½-inch sections of hair around a drinking straw and holding in place with straw clips.

4

Spray the entire head with moisturizing hair mist. Heat the hair under an overhead hair dryer on medium heat for 45 minutes.

5

Unwrap the hair sections and spray the head with a moisturizing hair mist. Wrap the hair in a satin scarf to preserve the hairstyle while sleeping.

6

Spray the hair every day with moisturizing hair mist until you change the style.
