Size Of Rollers

[Leona28]

How to know what type and size rollers to use when you have relaxed 4b hair?

Thank you

It depends on what type of curl you are looking for (if any)
If you are just looking for smoothness and body, larger rollers.
If you are looking for real curls, the smaller the roller, the tighter the curl.
If you are inexperienced with rollersetting, then the snap on magnetic rollers are usually easiest to use.
If you are good at rollersetting you can use the magnetic rollers with clips.
HTH.

Thank you Cristie.

Currently I want smoothness and body however I'm inexperienced. The inches of the roller is what I wonder about, as well.

How long is your hair?

About shoulder length

You would want either the pink or the green.
I think that's large and medium. They are really cheap (usually about a dollar) so I would buy one to test, then see if you need smaller or larger.

The red magnetic rollers (1-1/2 inch) were good for my grazing shoulder length to full shoulder length hair. You can wrap your hair after your roller set dries for a nice voluminous straight look or you can get away with just styling the roller set without the curls being too tight (they'll fall really nicely).

Once I got close to APL/BSL then I switched to the purple (1-3/4 inch diameter) magnetic rollers to get that same effect. And at MBL, the grey (2 inch) magnetic rollers have been my go-to.

Good luck, @Leona28 !

I have the purple ones pictured in the link above they are 1.5". The gray and red ones I believe are the same size.
