Tools for Victory Rolls
* Styling lotion
* Tail comb
* Bobby pins, long and short
* Lacquer
* Hot rollers or curling iron
* Brush
* Rat (hair padding) optional

Setting Hair Using Hot Rollers
* Shampoo the hair
* Apply a styling lotion, something that is not too greasy or heavy
* Dry the hair completely (Hair that is too oily will not curl effectively/ Hair that is not bone dry will not effectively set either)
* If you are setting hair that is already dry – spray throughout with hairspray as it will act as a styling agent and give better curl
* Take sections of hair that are approximately the same size as the roller you are about to put in
* Wrap the hair from the ends, until you have about one and a half wraps around the roller
* Use a tail comb and turn under the ends of the hair, this is important so as to not get fish hook ends (which results in a frizzy finish)
* Continue to roll hair to the roots, and secure with pin or clamp.
* Spray hair with hair lacquer
* Allow the hair to set for 10 to 20 minutes
* If you remove the curlers while the hair is warm, the curl will drop, so secure each curl with a clip or bobby pin until they are all removed and cool. The cooling of the hair is important for correct curl formation
* Gently remove rollers starting at the ape and working up to the top
* Either brush or finger style depending on the result you require

The Backyard Project – MWG’s annual and collaborative creative project – will continue in Term 2. All are welcome to contribute.

School Term 1 was spent learning felting skills and making felt squares and flowers for a textile quilt.

Term 2 2011 will involve quilting and Term 3 is Crotchet/Knitting.

The finished work will be donated for display at Lyons Early Childhood Centre.
