Your best bet is to ask your hair dresser for what is called a sraw set!! It is a style where you actually have your hair set on straws and once it has dried it is fingercombed out and you will definitely have a big curly afro but even after the party it can still be worn as a regular hairstyle....

The only way I can think of is rolling your hair in tight curlers. Get under a hooded dryer or let it air dry if you have time. When it's completely dry, take the rollers out carefully and pick your hair out (carefully) or else you'll have a mess of some straight, some curly hair.
