I put them in after my hair is dry. I then run the dryer over them a bit to warm 'em up, and then spray my "serious" hairspray on them (this is the stiff hold stuff; pump, not aerosol). Then I let them sit for about 20 mins (my hair is hard to curl).
I have very fine, very thin hair, BTW. I suspect it's probably not so much work for other girls like FP who have thicker hair.

I also have very fine, thin hair. After I towel dry my hair, I spray on a leave in conditioner. Then I blow dry until my hair is almost all the way dry (sometimes it is totally dry), then I roll with velcro rollers. I use the blow dryer again on the rollers to set them. And leave them in while I do my make up (about 10-15 minutes). Then as I take the rollers out, I roll each section with the curling iron if I want more curl (which is more often than not). Hope this helps!
FP, I am so shocked that you have fine, straight hair! Your hair always looks great. Can you tell me what size curling iron and velcro rollers you use? I have used them before, but all they do is lift my roots. I think I am using ones that are too big.
mikacat: these are velcro rollers. They are also called self-hold rollers:

I've tried to use those before (when I had longer hair) but my hair would just turn into a tangled mess trying to pull them out ---> this is literally me trying to get them out
I use them the exact same way as FP but I use my thermal spray (that you use before flat ironing or curling) to spray before applying the heat in order to lock the curl in better.
