• Step 1

  Prepare your hair, creating volume using heated rollers or blow drying with a round brush and securing sections with pin-curl clips. Once set, remove your rollers/clips and part your hair on the preferred side.

• 

  Step 2

  Section and secure your hair into four (Fig.1).
  Section 1: your fringe. Take a triangle section from mid-way back on the top of your head to just above both
  of your temples.
  Section 2: left side. Section the whole front part of
  your hair from the top of your head to the top of your ear.
  ection 3: right side, as above.
  *One of the sections will probably have more hair in it, because of your side parting.
  Section 4: the back of your hair.

• 

  Step 3

  Backcomb the first side section of your hair for volume and padding. Backcomb taking smaller vertical sections, about 1–2 cm through the larger section (Fig. 2).

• 

  Step 4

  Roll your hair loosely over your hand, rather like rolling a French pleat. You should be able to hold the finished roll securely with one finger so you can see the shape of your victory roll. When you are happy with how it looks, pin it into place and spray with hairspray (Fig. 3). Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the other side section.

• 

  Step 5

  Backcomb your fringe (Fig. 4). Smooth out the top layer of the backcombing ready to roll it into the rest of the victory rolls.

• 

  Step 6

  Roll your fringe loosely around your middle three fingers, away from your parting. Try to get the roll the same size as the largest of your two victory rolls. Pin this into place so that the second roll meets up with your fringe roll (Fig. 5). Now it looks like one roll.

• 

  Step 7

  Backcomb the back section of your hair for a little extra shape and volume. Smooth over the top layers with your boar bristle brush (Fig. 6).

• 

  Step 8

  Using Kirby grips, start fixing a row of support grips along your nape (Fig. 7), about 2 cm above your hairline. Each grip should cross over for extra support.

• Step 9

  Once this has been securely clipped, section the ends of your hair into three parts: the centre and two sides.

• 

  Step 10

  Backcomb each section very lightly if you need to, smoothing out the underneath layers, as this is the part you will see. Reverse roll each section over your hand and clip into place (Fig. 8).
  Your rolls need to be roughly the same size so you can make each section blend together to make one large reverse roll along your back hairline.

• 

  Step 11

  Spray hair well to smooth down any stray hairs and you have your finished look.

  Try variations on this style.
  Leave the back down and simply curl with tongs.

This is such a beautiful style, I wish my hair was long enough. Not sure it only takes 30 minutes to create victory rolls, add on all the time you need to practice the style. Thanks for this tutorial ^_^
