Timeless Curls Made Easy with Hot Rollers....

Hot rollers have come a long way, baby! Gone are the days of bulky curling methods that were tough on your hair. Today’s hot roller sets deliver salon-quality, fuss-free volume while you binge-watch your favorite shows on Netflix. So, grab a matcha (or your drink of choice) and let’s dive into how to use the latest in hot roller technology!

Hot rollers are a staple for achieving stunning, voluminous curls. Our easy-to-use Classic Multi Curls set lets you create effortlessly gorgeous curls in just a few simple steps. Whether you’re after loose waves or tight ringlets, you’re guaranteed lasting, bouncy locks. While using a hair roller  set is a breeze, we’ve got some insider tips that will have you looking and feeling gorgeous, with less fuss.

Prep Like A Pro

• Cleansing and conditioning: For best results, start with clean, conditioned hair.

• Combed through and tangle-free: Make sure your hair is completely free from any knots or tangles using a brush or comb. This will give you a smooth base to work with, making it easier to correctly section and style your hair.

• Heat protectant: Shield your hair from heat damage by applying a heat protectant—it creates a barrier that reduces moisture loss, prevents breakage, and keeps your strands smooth and healthy

• Dry or slightly damp hair: Make sure your hair is dry or slightly damp when using rollers - never wet.Hair that’s too wet may not dry completely, and hair that’s completely dry may not hold the curl as well.

• Section your hair: Divide and conquer (your hair) into manageable sections for easy rolling.

PRO TIP: Use VS Sassoon's Digital Sensor Luxe Airsonic  hair dryer for salon-quality drying.

Choosing the Right Hot Rollers: Size Matters

Choosing the right size of hair roller is directly related to the length of your tresses and the kind of look you’re planning. 

• Small rollers work well on shorter hair to create fullness and a tighter face-framing curl. 

• Medium rollers are perfect for medium to long hair and create looser, more relaxed volume. Larger rollers are perfect for medium to long hair to create va va voom, full and voluptuous curls for that just-stepped-out-of-the-salon look.

The fairy princess of hair rollers, our Classic Multi Curls is designed to deliver the salon-style volume you’ve always dreamed of. With 20 easy-to-use ribbed rollers, fast heating, and all the accessories you could need, your only problem will be deciding what look you want to rock.

Perfecting The Rolling Technique

Get ready to roll your way to fabulous curls! Mastering the art of hot rollers is all about technique, but like any good bestie, we're here to share our secrets.

Correctly Section Hair

Start by sectioning your hair, hairdresser style. Divide your locks into four manageable, even sections. This not only makes rolling easier but also ensures that each strand is included and there are no unruly flyaways.  

Don’t Roll Too Much Hair

Smaller sections create tighter curls, while larger sections result in looser, bouncy waves and more volume. However, only roll sections of hair the width and depth of the roller - never try to roll too much hair at once. 

Don’t Leave Any Stray Strands

Place the hair roller either midway down each section, or at the ends, making sure you’re capturing the ends of each section and not leaving any stray strands. 

Rolling The Right Way

When it comes to rolling, direction matters! 

• For volume: Roll hair away from where it naturally sits, or roll upwards and diagonally. 

• For curls: Roll hair towards your scalp. 

• For bangs: Roll long bangs outwards, and short bangs inwards.

 Experiment with different techniques to find what suits you best, ensuring you roll each section tightly so the hair is smooth and taut as you go.

Securing Rollers in Place

Once you’ve rolled, it’s time to secure your rollers in place! Pineach roller tightly so they feel secure and aren’t likely to fall out. Use the metal clips or plastic super clips provided —just ensure they’re snug so you can relax while they set!

Time Required for Setting Curls

Patience is key! Allow the rollers to set for at least 20-30 minutes for maximum impact. The longer you let those rollers do their thing, the more defined and long-lasting your curls will be. Use this time to kick back and enjoy a little self-care—maybe catch up on your favourite show or sip on that matcha!

The Big Reveal

The most important thing to remember is to be patient! Let those hot rollers cool completely before you even think about touching them! Trust us, it’ll be worth the wait! Then gently unwind your tresses; tugging and pulling will create frizz, so be gentle and take your time. 

When it comes to styling, your fingers are key here. Gently separate your curls and apply a spritz of finishing spray to keep your curls lasting longer.

PRO TIP – The firmness of the curl is determined by several factors: heat-up time, best roller selection & the length of time the roller is left in the hair. Have fun and experiment by using different roller sizes so you familiarise yourself with how each roller size can differ.

Maintaining Your Curls: Tips for Longevity

Here’s the tea on keeping your curls fresh: we know you’re busy and do need lasting results.

• Keep it cool! Let those curls cool completely before you start styling.

• Heat protectant and finishing/setting spray  is your BFF. Use the right styling products to keep those curls bouncy, beautiful and long-lasting

• Invest in a silk pillowcase

• For quick touch-ups, invest in a hot air brush for guaranteed instant glam!

What Not to Do! Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

• Unless you're going for the "I just got caught in a rainstorm" look, never, ever use rollers on wet hair.Using on damp hair is OK, but NEVER use on soaking wet hair. 

• Timing is everything. Definitely don’t fall asleep in your rollers.

• Size does matter—at least when it comes to rollers. Use the right size for your hair type and desired curl.
