Hot rollers are used to create the soft, wavy, feminine tressels that are in right now- just look at Carrie Underwood, Gisele Bundchen, and Kate Hudson. This year’s Oscar night updos of Jessica Alba and Kate Blanchette were absolutely beautiful, perfect examples of the outcome of hot rollers! The larger the roller size the softer the wave, the smaller the roller size, the curlier the look.
Rollers today are a little more sophisticated than the olden days with new ionic conditioning and ceramic technology. They’re more efficient too – so there is no reason not to take that extra ten minutes to look great!
Modern rollers are larger and lighter than past products. The more expensive sets come with option of clips or clamps - I prefer clamps for hold and comfort. All rollers I have selected heat up quickly and work best if a light mist of spray is used after rollers are set while the is hair cooling.
Quick tip - if rollers feel warm around ears after you have set hair place tissue under roller.
