I've revived my Caruso Rollers for my no direct heat regime

[pmichael52172]

I have a bob that I'm trying to grow out (for a longer angle). I promised my stylist that I would not use heat (flat irons) on my hair except the day that I wash and style.

I couldn't figure out how to keep it cute without touching up my flat hair from nightly wrapping but then I thought about my Caruso steam rollers. My bob is a puffy mess when I take them out and style, but I discovered that if I use them before bed and loosely wrap my hair, the next morning, it's enough "bend" to make it look like I just flat ironed it... nice layers and all.

The plus is that this fullness lasts about 3 nights, I can still gain faster growth and healthy ends from no heat!.

Good tip! Thanks for sharing. I love my Carusos.

yeah i love these things too. real quick and easy. i never thought of wrapping my hair afterward though. i really don't like to wear my hair straight. it's curly 98% of the time. if not curly, pulled back in a clip.

I used them all the time when my hair was long. I would always get the loose spiral look without the heat. When I cut my hair short, I just pushed the rollers to the back of the closet. I'm so glad I held on to them.

That's great! What's the length of your hair, and how long does your style last?

Are you letting them sit long enough? Your hair shouldn't be puffy when you take them out....

It sounds like the roller was left on the steamer for too long. 3 seconds is long enough. Anything longer over saturates the roller and wets your hair and it will make it frizz.

Right, either that, or she's not letting the rollers stay in for long enough. I let mine stay in for an hour sometimes while I do other things around the house.

I love Carusos. I use them every morning. My hair never gets frizzy though. I think I have mastered it so that my hair does exactly what I want. There are certain levels of moisture that my hair can have that will make it get frizzy. But if I keep everything balanced, my hair turns out perfectly everytime.

I cannot do it on hair that has not been straightened with heat at some point though.

I do that on wash day and then use Carusos daily. I wish I could use Carusos only without some direct heat.

Okay, I finally found something I want for Christmas!
