Can you help me recreate my best hair ever?

I went to a wedding in Greece recently and the lady in the hotel hair salon did a miraculous job on my hair.

I have long, lots, and fine hair. No GHD, or Dyson tool can curl it and make it stay.

There was a language barrier so I couldn't go into detail about what she did. However I watched closely.

She washed my hair, towel dried it, then rough dried it. She put olive oil serum on it, I think it was L'Oreal, when I asked for it to be very shiny.

She then blew it straight, with the ends curled up, rather than under.

Then, and this is the bit that blew me away. She took 3 brushes, blew and curled it, and left the brushes in. Then she rolled each bit in, and pinned it with a bobby pin. Lots of hairspray in-between.

I came out looking like I had a head full of invisible rollers. I was instructed, by hand gestures, to leave it till the last thing, and take out the pins and give it a shake and a bit of hairspray.

My hair stayed curled all day. It looked fabulous.

I'd like to be able to do this for special days out, or just do 1 or 2 curls for a day to day basis.

I don't have a clue where to start. Any YouTube videos, setting spray, olive oil spray, rollers (not imaginary) that you could recommend?

Thx

Have you ever tried heated rollers? I have cloud 9 ones which were pricy but I've had them for years. Use smaller rollers for curls, bigger if you want more bouncy blow dry look. Definitely need a blow dry spray as well - I'm not loving the one I currently have but maybe others will have recommendations

My hairdresser did similar when I was a wedding guest recently, I have very fine and straight hair, normally ok but wearing a hat meant it needed more oomph.

She used some self gripping rollers a bit like the yellow ones in this article, plus more time and product on the blow drying than I would have patience for to do myself
