curling iron or hot rollers?
Ok girls, I need some hair help. I'm going to be doing my own hair for my friend's wedding next weekend because it's in CT. Anyway, I want to wear my hair down in loose, romantic curls. I have always had a really hard time getting my hair to stay curled. My hair tends to be be heavy and pulls the curls out. I recently bought hot rollers but even that didn't make my hair very curly. I could use some tips. Should I use the big or small rollers? How long should I leave them in? Should I use a curling iron too/instead of?

Put on hot rollers the night before. Sleep with them on your hair.(put hairspray on) Next day fix them with your fingers and correct any curls with a curling iron

I would say use the curlers. Try washing your hair and then roller set it and let it dry under the dryer for like an hour maybe depending on the length of your hair. This should give you more of that romantic curls you are looking for.

A curling iron will hold the curl longer and better but they won't look as natural and romantic as hot roller/curler curls.
I recommend using a ton of mousse while the hair is wet, before you put it in the rollers. Use rollers one to two sizes smaller than you want your curls to ultimately be since they will loosen on their own as the day/night progresses. Leave the rollers on until your hair is completely, 100% dry.

Steam rollers were the only thing that ever worked for me. Or, when I was little, sleeping in foam rollers.
ETA: It usually helps if your hair is not freshly washed!
