Hey sweets,
I'm all about my hair at the moment, and I have been getting my desired look with the help of these wonderful little creations.
I've been a fan of rollers for a while, and still use my Enrapture Heated Rollers on a very regular basis (I recently posted about a special offer here) but I feel that sometimes nothing quite beats hair styling than the old fashioned tools.
I have a huge collection of standard velcro rollers that can be worn throughout the day but unfortunately, they are all impossible to sleep in. I've tried but they are so uncomfortable and I end up pulling them out in the middle of the night.
Hello sleep in rollers!
All of a sudden, I'm sure with the help of certain television shows- yes Desperate Scousewives, there has been a huge market for rollers. They're everywhere- and every one wants a little piece of the glamour.
I had my eye on a set of sleep in rollers that I had seen advertised but they were priced at £16 and I wasn't too sure, and as if by absolute luck I was given a set of Boots large sleep in rollers- I didn't even know these existed!
They are the exactly the same as a standard velcro roller, except rather than being an uncomfortable hard plastic they are filled with a spongey foam which makes it very possible and comfortable to sleep in.
I absolutely love my sleep and hate it being disturbed, but I really find these pretty easy/bearable to sleep in.
You are obviously going to be aware that they are there, but there soft and very light so its easy to get used to.
I apply my rollers more for volume rather than curls, so I place them just on the top part of my head;
Three along my parting rolled backwards and a few either side rolled downwards.
I take a small section of dry hair (although these can be applied to wet hair also), run my GHD over the section for a little bit of heat, and apply the roller making sure its pretty even and all rolled straight to avoid kinks. I then secure with a hair grip and when they are all applied I lightly spray a layer of hairspray.
I keep them on for as long as possible really, I put these in last night, and took them out after doing my make up today.
Applied last night
Rollers this morning- still pretty much perfect.
When you take these out, you do have quite an extreme curl or shape to your hair. I just brush this through normally, not taking any particular care and then have a little play, decide where I want my parting and get styling.
My hair stays so full of volume and I'm absolutely thrilled with the look these give.
This picture was taken after having my rollers in over night and then straightened with my GHDS.
I love the lift and shape they give my hair, especially at the roots.
These are available here in Boots and come in a pack of 6. They cost just £4.99 and I really can't recommend them enough.
I hope you're all very well and that I have answered any questions you asked me about my hair.

Ever since reading this post on Thursday I have not been able to get the rollers out of my head. So today I gave in and bought myself a couple of packs - lets hope they work on my hair :) Thanks for sharing your secret to volume! xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing, definitely going to have to pick myself up some! Your hair looks amazing in the last photo. I love the volume velcro curlers give, and such a bonus you can sleep in them. xx
ReplyDeleteyou would love heated rollers if you havent already tried them xx
ReplyDeleteI tried this and it was AWESOME! I usually wash my hair and blow dry it every other day and then flat iron it in between. I started noticing split ends and then I found this post.
ReplyDeleteI washed my hair, used some volumizing product and let it air-dry. When it was mostly dry but still damp I put it up in the rollers and then slept in that (that was rough lol) and in the morning all I did was pull out the curlers and flat iron my bangs and it looked INCREDIBLE!! Also, I haven't had to wash my hair since (even though I work out daily) so definitely something I will do from now on.
Thanks!!
Glad you recommended these, I love them but because of the thickness of my hair 24 rollers I use,no way can I get a good nights sleep! ha x
ReplyDeleteA fiver but you will need about 4 packs for an average head, better off with the gorge pink ones from sleeprollers 16.50 for a pack with 20 rollers in plus the drawstrng bag.. and they are pink : ) they are good though
ReplyDeleteAww your hair looks great❤. I Got those sleep-in rollers and there so comfortable, if you would like we could try arrange a pair to send you to try, I say try because there going like hot cakes, since the Desperate Scousewifes ladies wore them x
ReplyDeleteI love rollers they have made such a difference! I love them. That would be so kind of you, maybe you could give me an email? laura@belles-boutique.co.uk
Deletewow ! i'm buying these !
ReplyDeletewow your hair looks great! I have always wanted to try sleeping in rollers but didn't think they would be very comfy will have to give this ago.
