God i adore velcro rollers - I have said it before but i need to evangelise

[Simples]

they are god gifts to a lazy arse hair dryer

Right - I bought some velcro rollers a few months back hoping they'd make my (long, fine but lots of it!) hair a bit glossier than my usual routine of leaving ti to dry naturally and nothing else (apart from frequent tugs from dd). I couldn't sleep in them (I tried) and have put them away in a cupboard.

If I get them out now what do I do to get lovely hair?

read the thread.

bada bing

Thanks VC had read other posts and followed for a day or so but couldn't believe it was that easy. Cheers.

er.... MamaG I hate to be the bearer of bad news but

80's whopper shoulder pads are back in.

Its just a matter of time before we all look like those guitar players in that wotsisname video.

yup, I see big hair, big shoulder pads, big eyebrows all back in by xmas.

not in this house fli!

I bought some but they just sliiiiiiiiiiiide out of my hair. HOW CAN I BE DOING THIS WRONG?

so if you use them on a day you are not washing hair do you have to damped hair first?

I have a graduated bob, tell me how they would help me cos i hate drying it.

Okay, I tried again last night with really big rollers (I think about three inches across). I didn't wash my hair, but just rinsed it out, half dried it, and then bunged them in, spraying ma-hoosive amounts of Elnet (was concerned that Al Gore would turn up and shout at me about dying penguins, but so far, he hasn't turned up). I then blasted with a hair-dryer for about three minutes (moving around the head) left it in for ages while doing ironing (on the assumption that the heat and steam will help with setting the style). Initially, it did look a bit like this, but once it settled down it was very swooshy and lovely, even after sleeping on it. Highly recommend

you slept on it?
wow
my farrah curls from yest have lasted till now

I know!

How do you do the Farrah curls? Might try that out next time.

rather than rolling it under you roll it away from your face

now come on...tell me how these would spice up a shortish bob!

read the thread!!!!

I have a longish bob, and use 3 inch across rollers. Get smaller ones (from boots etc.). As I said above:

• Last night I didn't wash my hair, but just rinsed it out (though you can just wash it normally)
• half dried it
• (I forgot this step) sprayed on styling spray and combed it through,
• then bunged them in, spraying ma-hoosive amounts of Elnet
• I then blasted with a hair-dryer for about three minutes (moving around the head)
• and left it in for ages while doing ironing.

You can leave out the ironing step if you so choose. You don't have to put all over the head, you could probably get aways with just doing the top layers.

ah I know how to put them in, but how will they make my hair look different? what will they do?

I am thicko about this but dont understand how they will change a bob.

dont want to look like crystal carrington!

right well i got as far as the car today with one still in

Arf.
Right I tried this morning. My hair looks decidedly messy. It has a pleasant boing to it but still sodding well messy.
My hair looks messy any which way I style it.
My hair hates me. And I hate my poor hand-eye-coordination.
In all honesty, if I resembled a pixie I'd have a crop.

Triffic, they make your hair more bouncy and voluminous.

I now have 8 big velco rollers in my possession.

I have hairspray.

I may regret this. Will report bck.

right I am going to give them a go!

I will report back when i have bought some.

Right i have the one in my car now in use when travelling - no one can see can they

If you know anyone that can buy direct from hairdressing supplies they are only around £1.50 for 12 decent sized rollers. I have far too many lingering around my home.

I like the look too, when I can be bothered, it's little effort for quite a good result

I got some today and am now sat here typing this with a head full of blue rollers.

I am not convinced it will work, as I rushed it and have also had 2 glasses of wine.

ooh ooh and?

Rubbish

No volume, no curls and at one point I feared that I may have to keep one in forever as it seemed to have become permanently attatched.

I found them really really hard to get out, what did i do wrong ??
