Conair Big Curl Foam Rollers, 9 Count

These curlers are like the ones mom used on us 20 years ago... only bigger. I've used them twice, this time (shown in pictures) with mousse, damp hair rolled overnight, shook curls out with my head upside down, and used a teeny bit of bed head "after party" to tame the fly-aways.

I got many compliments on my hair today so I'm pleased, but not overwhelmed. I like being able to curl my hair without heat, it's very easy to use. If your hair gets snagged in a roller, just remove the plastic insert clip and the roller falls right out without tangles.

The Cons: slight indentions where the bar crosses over the roller to hold it in place. Not real noticeable once you've fixed your hair but it's price you pay for an easy & economical system.

I like the bouncy curls, so did my husband and my friends. I bought the rollers for an upcoming beach vacation. I knew I'd be showering at night after the being out all day, and didn't want crazy hair in the morning so I plan to sleep in rollers. Last night while testing these rollers, I positioned them away from the side of my head I tend to lie on and the curls still came out great and I slept fine.

If you want to save your hear from the abuse of very hot curling irons for a while, you've got to give Conair Big Curl Foam Rollers a try! They are just like the foam rollers that were around when I was a kid, but much larger.

For me, the best way to use them is on already dry hair. (Unless you're planning on sitting under a bonnet dryer, which is kind of inconvenient.) Section off your hair, start wrapping from the middle of the section, and be sure to use enough tension in your wrapping to give your curl some bounce.

Depending on your hair type and the look you are going for, you might want to use gel or balm after shampooing. One way to make the curl take faster is to aim your hairdryer on each rolled section just long enough to warm it up. As the hair cools, you're getting some nice curl and wave. The longer you leave them in, of course, the tighter the curl will be.

Personally, I really don't recommend these for use on wet or damp hair, because it will take forever to dry wrapped up in foam rollers. A great way to use them is just placed strategically in your hair to refresh your style that's going limp from your previous styling. You just have to experiment with them to get the perfect effect that you'd like! After you try them, you'll probably want a second pack to make narrower sections.

I absolutely love these rollers!

I have bone straight, layered Asian hair down to the middle of my back, and these curlers do create some long lasting curls without damaging heat. Due to the thickness and length of my hair, I bought an extra pack and used all of them, but initially I got some fairly impressive results with a single pack, though they were waves more than curls and didn't last quite as long.

To use them, I section off almost-dry hair (damp hair doesn't dry out very well, even overnight), spritz it with touch of hairspray, and roll the hair up to my scalp. I then put a slumber cap over the whole mess (it amazingly fits over my giant head and 18 large rollers) and sleep in it. I've tried this without the slumber cap and found it to be pretty essential, as the rollers will sometimes come undone and then I'm left with a few straight locks of hair. While it's a long reach to call these "comfortable" to sleep in, it is possible and a few well placed squishy pillows will help.

In the morning, I'll carefully unroll them, shake out the curls and comb them lightly through with my fingers, and finish with a little more hairspray. If I get a lock or two of hair that was a bit too damp take the curl, I generally just touch those up with a curling iron. It rarely happens, but it's an easy fix. I get BIG, voluminous hair in the mornings, and at the end of the day it mellows out to a very full, wavy style much like one would get if one spent an hour curling their hair with a flat iron(to get those stylish "beach waves" look that's popular in Hollywood now.)

These rollers are a lot more comfortable to sleep in then hard rollers and gave me the style I wanted. But only nine rollers come in the pack. The rollers are large but it still wasn't enough for all my hair. I don't have long thick hair and found that I could have used at least five extra so you may want to order a extra pack. I guess you could put a lot more hair on each roller but then it wouldn't be completely dry by morning and I don't have time for that.
