I can't wait to see your update

I believe they are Chinese. At least it sounds like Mandarin to me. It def isn't Thai, Thai doesn't sound or look like that) And sina is a chinese company.

that said I don't get how they work, Do you use the middle section like a regular curler and then cover it so it doesn't come loose?

I have no ideaerplexed...It seems like it's made out of the same material as sponge/foam rollers, so I wouldn't be able to use them, they snag my hair...I'd be interested to hear other's results, tho-

Yeah, I would be scared to use them. For my hair would get caught on them too.

 

[MissMeWithThatIsh]

Oooh I'd definitely try those

 

[luckiestdestiny]

They look cute (the result) but it seems like they'd be hard to sleep on...and the foam too, doesn't seem like that would be great for my hair.

 

[Lucky's Mom]

Ya... I think Straight hairs would like this... My hair snags on Foam...

I just discovered the PM in my box, sorry i never got back I havent been on in a while!

If any one is still interested i found them on ebay just put in hair balls.

They are not hard to sleep in at all, they are VERY light..feels like air! I did it on wet hair with some wrap foam/spray. I banded my NG and rolled my hair(making sure ends are tucked) then i flipped up & rolled in.

It basically came out like a bantu knot out. I havent tried it on my natural hair but you know what i think i should When i do i will post back in this thread!

Im so sorry for answering so late ladies

Ew, girl, what was running through YOUR mind?

 

[Geminigirl]

I wonder if you could make these yourself.

 

[krissyprissy]

These are similar to satin sponge rollers.

 

[growth2come]

Those things look funny...are they to go to bed with cause I couldnt see myself wearing them outside....

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

I think they are adorable. I just ordered some!! So. I am getting ready to take my weave down so I will definitely be trying these out asap.

lmao!

I actually ordered lots of these and I put one on a section of my hair (just for a a half hour) after I had it straightened last week. it held with no help and I could see that it would definitely curl my hair. They are very light and smooth so I couldn't imagine them snagging anyone's hair but I haven't tried them curly. I am interested in the Lucidol the lady used for shine on the blog MSA posted.

 

[Babygurl]

Anyone use these with good results, it seems like they would suck the moisture right out of the hair, wonder if someone could make these wrapped in satin?!

 

[yokoyokogirl]

I used these when I first moved to Japan and couldn't find real rollers. They were like 8 in a pack at the 100yen store (dollar store) here. (So many jgirls use these!!!)

I used to be natural and now I have a Japanese straight perm. I used them before and also now. They don't snag your hair at all and you can't even feel them while sleeping.

I've wanted to try a roller set with them under the dryer but scared they would dry my hair all up???

I think I'm going to try a rollerset tomorrow with my sponge balls again and ORS Foaming Rollerset Moouse. (sp?)
