No heat curls with satin rollers!

I LOVE these rollers! In the past I've used curlformers (SO uncomfy to sleep on, and takes foreverrrr to dry)

and caruso rollers (quick, but the curls don't last longer than a day or 2)

but these satin rollers are my new favorite... They were $2.50 for a pack of 14, and I only used 7 or 8. I put them on freshly washed/blow-dried/straightened hair, but without any additional heat or products & slept on them overnight. The curls have lasted (I'm on day #4) without doing anything to protect them (wrapping, pin-curling, etc).

Here's what it looked like on day #1:

and on day #2:

More pics are on my blog :yep:

Has anyone else used these? I remember seeing my grandmother set her hair on these when I was little.​

All that beautiful hair and only 46 posts?!!! You need to come out of lurkdom and talk to us about that beautiful hair! LOL

I will try this tonight on a pin curl. I don't know if I could get all my hair in that type of roller.

Please tell me how you get your hair so shiny

Thank you! I've been a member for a couple years, but I'm only now getting into actually posting :look:

I was surprised that I only needed 7 or 8 to do my whole head, but I think blowdrying/flat ironing definitely took a lot of volume out, so I didn't need to use so many. I want to see what happens when I try it on air-dried hair.

I use Carol's Daughter Monoi shampoo & MoroccanOil Moisture Repair conditioner when washing, MoroccanOil Oil treatment, Garnier Fructis Blowdry perfector & a round brush when blowdrying, and flat iron with a Babyliss 1.25" Nano Titanium. I wash weekly, relax every 4-6 weeks with Dr. Miracle's (Regualr strength), and get layers cut around the 6-month mark. Took me a while to figure out what worked best for me, but this has my hair happy! :lick::lick:

I love your layers. I tried the pin curls last night and it looked nice, but by 10am my hair was flat again LOL I'll have to try the rollers. I wonder if cutting my hair into layers would help.
 
I use those satin rollers and my hair don't look like that :look:

I use a similar type of satin roller sometimes and get decent curls. The crazy thing is it only takes a short amount of time to get a decent curl. Granted its NOTHING Like her/your curls but it's nice for a cute updo. I need to go and buy the ones posted here but my expectations aren't high.

What size rollers did you use? I have satin rollers but I think they are too big to give me nice curls especially on dry hair.

My hair definitely curls easier/holds a curl better after a cut, I don't know why though. Maybe the layers make it so shorter lengths can "sit" on top of longer ones instead of getting clumped together because it's all the same length?

For me, I think using such a small diameter was what did it - the curls ended up like what I'd get with a 1-1.5" curling iron

SO CRAZY! Not that I'm asking questions :look: but there was a curl even when I only had one in for a short time. I'm pretty sure that curl would have dropped, but it did have an effect.

Very pretty, amazing shine too. How do maintain it overnight
Click to expand...
Thanks! I didn't do anything to maintain, just slept with it either down or pulled up in a ponytail. I'm on day #5 today & the curls have dropped into waves, but that was because I was running around doing errands & overheated - it was still curly this morning though. You could probably go even longer if you pin-curled or something protective at night.
 
How wet/dry is your hair when you put the rollers in?

I used satin rollers years ago but they were the kind that didn't have a rod in them (they bent in half without a clasp or hook to secure them). They worked well but it was hit or miss at times. These look like the old school sponge rollers but covered in satin. Is that what these are? Those sponge rollers could hold a curl for years but would dry out your hair. This seems like a great alternative as long as they are comfortable to sleep in. How much of your hair are you able to roll? It looks like only the bottom 2 or 3 inches are curled. Are you pulling the hair into a ponytail when you go to sleep?

I think these are definitely the old school ones - there's a plastic rod that goes through the center, so you can't bend the actual roller in half like you're describing. The satin is just a sleeve over the foam, and isn't secured at all - I'll probably end up having to replace them after a few uses because the satin just slides all around, but they aren't expensive, so I won't worry too much about it!

I could have rolled all of my hair up on these, I just didn't want the curl to start from the root, so I stopped halfway up. It resulted in curls at the bottom, which I was happy with. They were very comfy to sleep on, especially after experiencing the nightmare that are Curlformers! I have pulled it back into a ponytail some nights, but not every night.

It was completely dry - I had already blow-dried/flat ironed it before I put the rollers in, they were an afterthought/experiment.

Ahhhhh that's where I went wrong :lol:. I do it on wet hair. I'll try it on dry hair next.

Thanks for this video, LaurenMechelle. I used to use foam rollers when I was a kid to create bangs without cutting my hair LOL But I've never seen the ones with the satin sleeve. Definitely getting some ASAP!
 
I just found these rollers on amazon. $2.35 for 14 rollers and free shipping. Even if I never use them I can't afford not to buy them lol.

I wonder how well they would work on air dried hair? I don't own a blow dryer and I don't have the skills/patience for flat ironing. If I only have to roll my hair once a week and can have curls all week, I would be in heaven. I may even give up bunning and get layers cut in my hair.

Look at me getting all carried away. My texlaxed hair will probably frizz up immediately.

They work on air dried hair, as long as you moisturize and seal, they will come out pretty, I had some like two years ago, I think I left mines at my moms, I had the satin pillow rollers. I would suggest putting something in your hair for hold if you want it to last longer

I don't have any products for hold except lottabody. Any suggestions?
 
They usually sell these at Walmart. I use the larger ones on just the top my hair since my hair is not that long. If I curl it all on my length it looks a little old fashioned. I will curl my entire length when it grows :-)
