Restore and Shine Hair Masque. Deep Condition for Healthy, Ready to Style Hair
My hair has never been so shiny and it smells absolutely gorgeous. I use the Restore and Shine Hair Masque once a week and the condition of my hair has significantly improved. I love these products!
The Velcro roller is one of my favourite hair styling tools.
Ok, so I know the Velcro roller isn’t at the cutting edge of technology, and it’s not as whizzy as some of the new hair styling tools out there. But sometimes the classics are the best. Velcro rollers are not only gentle on your hair, but they’re also versatile with a capital ‘V’.
If you want to turn heads with big bouncy waves, add volume to shorter styles or find easier, quicker and less damaging ways to style your hair, I recommend Velcro rollers.

Salon Know-How: Hair Tips for using Velcro Rollers
If you’ve never used Velcro rollers, or maybe you’ve tried them and found them tricky, follow my tips for best results.
- Choose the right Velcro roller for your hair. Big, fat rollers make big waves. Perfect for long hair and for adding volume. For shorter styles, go for medium to small rollers. Experiment and see what works for you.
- It’s best to apply them to hair when it’s still slightly warm and got some moisture. After washing hair, use a towel to blot out excess water. If the hair is still holding excess water, give it a quick blast with the hairdryer.
- When hair is no longer holding excessive water but is still damp, you can apply a styling product. Rough dry with the hairdryer. Be careful not to over-dry the hair. Most importantly, at this point, hair should be warm but still have some moisture, so not completely dry.
- Apply the rollers by taking a small section of hair. Make sure that you don’t cover the full width of the roller with hair, leaving space at either end.
- Tension is the most vital part of applying Velcro rollers. So, if you get this right and you’ll avoid tangles. Start by holding the roller at the end of the hair, keep the hair at a straight angle, and maintain the tension as you roll to the roots. Ensure you are not pulling at the roots when you do this.
- Leave your rollers to cool and take them out in 10-15 minutes. Roll them back and use your hands and fingers to push your hair in place.
Get Salon Results when you Style Hair with Velcro Rollers
I have three rules that I always follow when styling hair. Follow these rules when styling hair at home to get the best results.
- Use less product. When using styling products, use a little. If you overdo it, you risk the hair becoming difficult to style.
- Dry your hair for less time. In my experience, most of us overdry our hair. Your don’t need to get your hair completely dry when working with a hairdryer. When hair is too dry, it loses its flexibility.
- Don’t overwork the hair. Hair can become flat if it’s touched or brushed too much.
