Hair Rollers Information

Maybe you’ve tried using hot rollers to get the sexy curls you have seen on your favourite celebrity and it didn’t turn out like you thought. So now you’re wondering where did you go wrong? Well not every hair roller will work for every hair type or style. To get the hair style you want first determine whether your hair is straight, wavy or curly. Once you know that, you’ll be on your way to getting the look you really.

If you’ve got straight hair, you’ve probably suffered from your hair not holding a curl. If so, you’re not alone. Whether you crave volume, wave or curls, here’s how to get just that.

For Volume: You will want to invest in large rollers. Roll the hair in sections at the top of the head, while it is dry and then give a burst of hairspray. Next, blow dry and carefully remove the rollers. Finally brush to create the volume you desire.

For Waves: You’ll want to look for medium size hot rollers. First, apply a small amount of mousse to damp hair and then blow dry. Next, roll sections of hair in the rollers and let cool. Finally, remove the rollers carefully and finger comb only to create beautiful waves.

For Curls: Use velcro or sponge rollers. Begin by misting already damp hair with a setting lotion and roll sections of hair in a spiral formation. Make sure that you roll hair up and down, not sideways. Allow hair to dry naturally or if you must, blow dry using a diffuser only. Once hair is dry, unroll and fluff the curls using your fingers only.

If you have curly hair then you probably already know how much trouble those curls can be. Whether you just want hassle free curls, waves or a whole new look, here’s how:

For Straightness: You will want to use a set of jumbo Velcro rollers. Start by applying a straightening lotion to damp hair and blow-dry. Next, roll sections of hair and blow dry on high heat at the lowest speed to prevent frizzy hair. Once hair has cooled down, remove the rollers carefully and brush smooth.

For Waves: Choose large hot rollers. Blow-dry hair straight and roll hair into sections. Allow the rollers to cool and then unroll carefully. Finally, run your fingers through your hair to style.

For Curls: Choose small velcro or sponge rollers to achieve trouble free sexy curls. Begin by spraying with a styling gel on damp hair. Next, roll hair into sections and allow to dry naturally. If you must blow-dry use a diffuser. Once hair is dry, remove rollers carefully and style using your fingers only.

Lastly, remember that the smaller the rollers, the more curls you will get. The larger the roller, less curl, but more volume! Have fun and remember that practice makes perfect!
