Hey lovelies, hope everyone’s well? I got these rollers as a
birthday present from my brother in January but haven’t posted about them until
now because I wanted to get a better after picture of my hair. I’ve only ever
used these properly (full head) twice as they are a bit time consuming, but I
use 2 or 4 every time I'm going for a night out just to curl the front of my
hair. I do find these pretty pink things come in useful; I put them in a few
hours before going out to get added volume and curl. I've decided to do a REVIEW of these SLEEP-IN ROLLERS for any of you thinking of purchasing :)

SLEEP ROLLERS IN! This picture was before bed. |

This was the result the next MORNING! Still pretty perfect after a nights sleep, right? |
|
The final result, all curled up with added volume! |

- Section your hair into three parts, equal side sections and
then one section through the centre
- Begin with the middle section, I start with the front and
take about a 2cm width section and begin to curl around the roller from the end upwards to the root, there’s then a gap between the roller and cover/velcro to slot in your
grip/clip.
- Continue this for the whole front section going from front
to back, each 2/3 cm width around the roller- you should get about 4 rollers
filling this part
- Then do the exact same with both side parted sections from
top to bottom of the parted sections, and again for the back of the hair, this
bit can get a bit difficult so usually I just curl the back with curlers
- Leave curlers in overnight, or throughout the day (minimum
of 4 hours I’d say)
- Remove grips and rollers starting from the bottom/underneath of the head working your way upwards- when
removing twist curl around your finger to fall into place, add some hairspray!!
Pro's
+ These curlers give you loads of volume in your hair, if
you’re someone who finds it hard to add volume to flat hair then these would be
great for you
+ Curls stay in place for longer
+ After wearing these in bed and tossing and turning they stay
in perfect place, they practically look as neat when you wake up as they do
when you put them; I was very surprised!
+ Kirby grips/clips slide in perfectly between the rollers to
hold your hair firmly in place around the roller
+ These Velcro rollers are soft and squidgy which helps with
comfort
+ Sleep in Rollers offer free delivery when you spend £17.95 (I love free delivery)
Con's
- These can be a bit of a nightmare to sleep in, however since
as long as I can remember my sister has always told me pain is beauty-
definitely in this case. I didn’t find it unbearable to sleep with these in (like
some reviews I’ve read have said) but I did wake a few times in the night with
discomfort but fell back to sleep straight away
- My neck was a bit achy in the
morning, but noting I couldn’t handle. Pain is beauty!!
- These are quite pricey, I think you can pick up similar
curlers from somewhere like boots for a cheaper price
Top Tips
- Add a bit of mousse to your hair before hand; this keep
curls in place longer
- Hairspray rolled hair while rollers are still in to keep
shape stronger
- Roll the rollers from end to root of hair tightly
- If you want curled hair for a night out I would advise
putting these in early in the morning, then letting them set throughout the day
rather than sleeping with them in
- If you do sleep with them in, position a pillow under your
neck to fill the gap where there aren’t any curlers otherwise it’s like your
neck hasn’t got anything to rest on (if that makes sense)
- Go over any messy/wavy curls with hot hair curlers after
you’ve taken your rollers out
- Use a good strong hairspray on finished curls!!!
