Hi Joie, You could use curlers to curl your hair at home. I use soft sponge curlers (comes in different sizes). Pretty cheap to buy. The hair must be wet, not dripping wet. Separate the hair into few sections & using the curler, roll it from the hair tip upwards & use the hair pin to secure it in place. The one I use has a plastic holder. I leave it overnight & the next morning when I remove the curlers I can see beautiful curls. As the day goes by the curls loosen. It will go away when you wash your hair. It does not take a lot of time!! I have layered my hair so the curls are quite prominent!! Try it & let me know how it goes! Regards, KS
