Foam rollers, wound only a wee bit up the total length of your hair, may do the trick, too, especially if you apply some setting lotion to lightly damp hair before putting them in. <br /><br />xoxo ♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-9611080919222907712016-05-14T23:17:41.855+01:002016-05-14T23:17:41.855+01:00I think it's a great length on you.

I have quite a lot of hair, so to avoid the triangle look at the ends I have to get the hairdresser to put in some long layers, and that way I can get it to flick up - I just use a round vent brush as I blow dry.
