The most comfortable rollers for a dry vintage set that I have ever used.🥳
***Updated ***to add the vintage curl pattern I use to get the hair in the last picture or,since Amazon puts the pictures in whatever order they want, the pic with red lips. It’s a little hard to read but if you can’t manage it, look at the pictures. Instead of pin curling, use the same set , only with these rollers and take bigger sections so your hair doesn’t look like a poodle when you brush out. Long metal clips are needed after you brush out, to set the waves! I’ve tried pretty much every setting pattern to achieve this look, but the directions I provided here are GOLD! Comes out perfect every time. 🥰
***Previous review ***
Ok so these are just awesome.
I have been buying pink foam hair curlers from the Dollar Tree for YEARS because they give the best overnight no heat set for my hair type and they speak to my penny pinching soul.
But they do degrade over time.
That time is now and since I’m not currently leaving the house at the moment, I needed another set of cheap foam rollers that would come to me.
I saw these while I was scrolling and I was both intrigued and skeptical.
Obviously they are not as cheap as my Dollar Tree beauties but they were the cheapest on Amazon that still looked decent.
But back to my skepticism.
I have long thick hair and these rollers looked soooo tiny!
I thought there was NO WAY these itty bitty little things were going to capture all my hair, actually stay in there AND make a decent curl but I was totally wrong.
I am able to set my hair for vintage styles even more quickly and it’s easier to get these curlers to stay put than my Dollar Tree ones or really any other curler set I have had, also there is no hair fall!
Plus I got the set of 30 and I still had 10 left after doing my whole head!
I used 40 of my Dollar Tree old faithfuls before finding these.😮
Omg and they are comfy.
I live by the “beauty is pain” mantra but like, I don’t go courting it.
If I can look fabulous without the pain?
I am in like Flynn kids.
Sleeping with these was like sleeping on little mini pillows!
I can’t say enough good things about these and I would definitely give them a try.
Ps: if you want good vintage curls, have your hair slightly damp***I use a curl cream called Curl la-la*** and you gotta take the curler all the way up to the scalp*** see picture ***before you tie it off. If you leave them hanging like a... makeshift curler bob? I’ve found my curls are much looser, may not last all day, and I don’t get as defined a curl as I need in order to achieve the vintage look I’m going for. 🤷🏽♀️I cover the curlers with either a head scarf or silk bonnet to make sure the curls stay smooth.😘
I don’t use heat in my hair so the crown is always gonna look wavier than the rest.
If I wanted to get rid of that I’d have to put in the rollers suuuuper tight and put on a steam cap for 10 mins.
In the picture my curls are super brushed out because I preferred a looser vintage curl to go with my new stay home all the time in my jammies/workout gear look, but if you use a rat tail comb to define your waves***there are tons of tutorials on YouTube for how to do this!!***, you’ll get a less casual more polished vintage look.
