Don’t dismiss hair rollers as something old fashioned that you watched your mom or grandmother use. The glam women in your life loved them for a great reason. Unlike the skills (some!) needed when using a curling iron, you basically just set and forget hair rollers. With them rolled up in your strands, you can do your makeup and finish getting dressed. When you remove the rollers, you’ll have bouncy waves, ultra-tight curls or any other variation your heart desires.
There are various sizes and techniques when it comes to hair rollers. Choose a jumbo size (such as 1 1/2″) for larger, more bombshell waves. For curls that look like you were born with them, grab a multi-pack with various sizes because that’s how curls grow naturally. If you have shorter hair or want tighter curls, try flex-rods on wet hair. They even work without heat and people have been loving them for decades.
We rounded up some stellar hair rollers to shop when you’re in the mood for some curls. Even if you already have a natural curl pattern, these hair rollers can smooth out frizz and create healthy-looking waves without a ton of heat damage. It’s a win-win.
