Velcro rollers

Am I the only person who uses these? I have always been "hair styling challenged". Never been able to properly maneuver a curling iron. Hot rollers slip right out of my fine hair. I end up tangling my hair in the hot air type brushes. The only thing that works for me is to partially blow dry and then put Velcro rollers in and spray them lightly with a styling spray and then use the blow dryer to dry. tAke out rollers and wait a couple of minutes to ensure hair is cool and then brush it out. Works great for my short salt and pepper fine hair.

As a matter of fact, about a month or so ago, I discovered Velcro rollers on sale at the supermarket so I bought a few packages. My method is the same as yours - blow hair until partially dry, spray, roll, blow dry some more. I give everything a shot of cold air at the end and I'll leave my rollers in for as long as it takes me to get ready. Taking them out and f*luffing my hair up is the last thing I do. I haven't used them a lot yet, so I'm still practicing with the various sizes and rolling directions to get my desired amout of lift and curl.

Oh I have used them for YEARS....I use my WEN, blow dry on cool air, then put them in while I do makeup etc..take them out and great curls...

I don't like to use heat on my hair, so with the cool/warm blow dry and rollers I can avoid it mostly...

I use them sometimes when I let my hair get too long, like now.

Right there with you, do the same thing for my fine, fine hair.

I don't use any heat on my hair. I use a couple velcro rollers on top for volume, and let it air dry.

I have a chin length, semi stacked bob and each time I wash my hair, after I blow dry it, I use velcro rollers.. I'm frequently asked how I get my hair so full looking. When I get it colored and/or cut, my girl uses just a blow dryer and round brush. My hair looks tons better when I do it myself. (my stylist says so too)

I have thick hair and do exactly the same to help keep volume on the top, especially the crown. I found Conair velcro rollers at CVS and velcro is attached to a light metal base, rather than plastic, so I dry my hair, put in the rollers and apply heat with my dryer which heats the metal to act as a curing iron, spray lightly with Kenra 25 hairspray, get dressed then remove and comb out lightly. Also put a few large ones on the sides to help smooth out my wavy hair.

I have never used velcro rollers I have long hair so I never thought they would work. I am intriged to try this method. How long does the curl stay in?

I use these too, but NEVER use the ones with metal bases they cook the hair. Be sure you buy ones with plastic bases.

I use them but they don't work in my hair if I just blow-dry it and pop them in.

I have thin, fine and poker straight hair. I have to blow-dry my hair using a round brush then put in the velcro rollers, spray my hair, hit it again with the blow dryer then I do my make-up and pull them out.

Most days I blow dry my hair, flat iron it and pop a few rollers at the crown for extra lift. I also use the velcro rollers on second day hair.

If I just blow dry my hair so it's all straight, the velcro rollers do absolutely nothing for me at all. They give me no bend, curl or lift.

I use velcro rollers every day. I have shoulder length fine hair. I wash everyday with WEN and blowdry, take a section, tease it alil, hairspray at the roots then pop the rollers in ...hit it with alil more of the blowdryer and let them stay untl I finish getting ready. Gives me alot of body and no damage (like you would get from a flat iron etc)

I stopped using curling irons and flat irons about 2 years ago...my hair was a total mess and in bad shape. Now I love my hair! lol

I sometimes use velcro rollers in the winter to wet set my hair - I put them in wet hair and sit under a hood dryer. The rollers smooth out my naturally curly hair and gives me bouncy hair with volume on top.

I have short hair and use 9 on the top of my head. Without it my hair is too flat and I've never mastered the metal brush - blow dryer combo my stylist uses. Same steps everyone else said.

I loved and used Velcro curlers. I used about 6-8 large rollers when hair is almost dry. But then, sadly, I found a lot of hair in the velcro, so I stopped using them. Now I use Perfector, l inch, and get about the same results, minus any loss of hair. But I still miss my curlers. I might buy some new ones & give it a try again.
