Beauty Stash- Velcro Rollers

Sometimes, it's hard to figure out what exactly makes a hairstyle look fine versus great. Extra smoothness or fullness...or, I don't even know. I'd kind of given up on even trying to recreate the hair perfection that my stylist is able to achieve. Until she gave me a tip. Wanna know what it was?











Velcro rollers! I'll admit, I scoffed internally when my stylist suggested I give them a try. But they're very cheap and readily available (at Target, Ulta, Sally Beauty Supply) and I have a lot of time on my hands so I thought I would give it a go. And you know what? I love them. LOVE velcro rollers.



This is my hair pre-velcro rollers. And this was about as good as it got. It was fine.







And here it is after using velcro-rollers. It's full and soft and smooth...fantastic!





Plus, using velcro-rollers has cut down on my styling time AND my hair is healthier because I no longer spend 45 minutes blow drying my hair straight and then taming it with a flat iron or curling iron. Nope, I can let my hair air dry. Air dry, people! This was not possible before because I have curly/wavy hair that needed to be blown straight and then straightened some more. Here's my new routine:



1.) Air dry hair.

2.) Pull out a large barrel curling iron and the velcro rollers.

3.) Curl hair, wrapping the strands around a velcro roller immediately after they come off the iron.

4.) Do makeup, get dressed.

5.) Pull out velcro rollers and go.



If my hair is a little flat on day 2 or 3, I'll touch up the top pieces of hair around my crown. Recurl and put in a couple velcro rollers. They are definitely staying in my beauty stash.
