Hair Rollers

There are few beauty products still on offer that conjure up quite such comical images as the simple roller. The roller first took hold of the imagination of the style conscious lady in the 1940s, thanks largely to big screen icons – and, of course, the scarcity of styling products during the war. Rollers are fairly easy to use, so long as you’re not in a hurry.

The basic set that’s been used for decades goes like this: shampoo and condition the hair, and pat it dry to remove a bit of moisture; take a section of hair the same width as your roller and comb it straight up; wrap the end of the hair section around the roller and wind it down toward the scalp in an even motion; if you need to, pin the roller once you reach your roots; repeat the process all the way around your head, misting lightly with styling spray as you go; allow your hair to dry completely; remove the curlers, then brush through your hair along the direction it was set. Some say it helps to spritz the brush with hairspray as you go to keep stray hairs in check.

Rollers are still popular today, used by women aiming to achieve all sorts of looks. There are a few bits of advice that go along with using hair rollers. For example, larger rollers work great for sleek styles, and smaller rollers make better curls. Top brands, such as Nicky Clark, Babylliss and Vidal Sassoon produce hot rollers that look essentially the same as those your grandma used – the difference is today’s rollers use ionic technology to reduce frizz and improve hold. There are also a number of brands, like Remington, with innovative bendy rollers, allowing you more control over the curl you get.

Choosing rollers online is easy – there are plenty of beauty supply shops offering a variety of rollers to suit most hair types and style requirements. Aim to buy rollers online from merchants with a flexible return policy, and keep an eye on shipping costs to maximise your savings.
