Before we get started, you are going to need straight hair.

From there, wet down your hair and separate your damp hair into small handfuls all over your head.

You don't want the bunches too large as larger bunches will create larger curls or even waves. Bunches of hair no more than three fingers wide should do it.

After your hair has been separated, simply use a large curling iron on your hair to set in large, soft ringlets by wrapping the hair around the hot curling iron for a couple moments until the hair is soft-set into place.
