A 'Roller Wrap' hair style means that you have used rollers to set your hair instead of using hair straighteners or tongs. You could also be asking about wrapping hair at night to keep moisture in? I'll explain both ways here.
Because setting lotion is used in conjunction with the rollers, this style can last several days as opposed to perhaps one or two with other methods.
There are two ways to Roller Wrap hair!
The first is if you want to create volume and controlled curls:
The second is to wrap your hair at night (traditionally used for black hair to prevent breakages and keep the cuticle smoothed down)
I have found a video also, this along with the bullets should help you to understand how to do roller wraps:

There are two ways to Roller Wrap hair!
The first is if you want to create volume and controlled curls:
- Wash and blow dry your hair pointing the hair drier in the direction of the cuticle that is from the root downwards, this always makes you hair look shinier.
- Choose some rollers that suit the length of your hair and lay these out in front of you ready to use. If you have short afro-carribean hair - roller wrapping can still be done to achieve a set style and volume, just use smaller rollers.
- Apply setting lotion from the root to the tipTaking a width of hair (as a guide probably as much as you would normally put in tongs).
- Start wrapping the hair from the end all the way down to the root and secure
- Always wrap the hair around the roller away from your face.You can leave rollers in over-night if you can bear to sleep with them like this, use a hair drier, or a special hair drying cap to dry evenly all over
- When you take the rollers out; gently comb through each curl individually. Take care not to over brush as this might ruin the volume that has been attained.
- Put your hair into the desired style, gently spritz with some hair spray and enjoy a set hairstyle that should last you several days.
The second is to wrap your hair at night (traditionally used for black hair to prevent breakages and keep the cuticle smoothed down)
- Wash and blow dry your hair pointing the hair drier in the direction of the cuticle that is from the root downwards, this always makes you hair look shinier.
- Apply serum lotion from the root to the tip throughout your hair
- The aim now is to sweep your hair around you hair, almost as though a tornado has swirled around you and wrapped your hair in a circular motion around your head, so start at the back with a wide paddled brush and just keep sweeping you hair around and around until it is all smoothed down.
- To keep moisture in overnight, wrap clingfilm around your head in the same direction as your hair. You might want to invest in a thing beanie cap to put over wrapped hair.
- In the morning remove clingfilm and brush through with a paddle brush.
