PIPM: Pretty in Pink Megan: My Hair Secret

My Hair Secret

Several of you all have been asking me what I've been doing to my hair lately. Well, the answer is simple- I use hot rollers! I used hot rollers for years when my hair was longer, and it's finally reached a length where I can use the rollers again.

My routine is simple:

I wash my hair at night and let it air dry completely. This is what it looks like when it air dries:

I wake up and brush my hair out and apply dry shampoo on my roots for volume. After brushing through the dry shampoo, I section off my hair starting from the top and put in about 4-5 rollers.

I use these Big Curl rollers:

I go about my normal morning routine and wear the rollers in the car to my destination. I get a lot of strange looks and stares in the Starbucks drive-thru line, but I'll gladly take the glares for good hair.

As soon as I take out the rollers, my hair is normally really poofy for about 30 minutes:

After a while, it tames down and just looks normal:

That's my secret!

First off, your air dried hair looks better than my styled hair! :) Second, what kind of dry shampoo do you use? Thanks for the tips!

I have been meaning to buy hot rollers..now I definitely am going to! I love the way your hair looks, but I don't know if I would have enough courage to wear them in the car. Thanks for letting us in on your hair secret; your hair is so gorgeous!

Thanks for sharing your secret! I have those rollers and will have to start making better use of them. I LOVE that you wear them in the car. Hilar!

Hot rollers are the best! I've been using them since high school. Truth be told I've never taught myself how to use a curling iron because I think hot rollers are easier.

I use velcro rollers for a similar effect and love them! it makes a good blowout last for days :)

Jill said...

I'm agreeing with the poster who said your hair looks better air dried than my hair looks styled! My air dried hair is a total wreck! Love those rollers :) Just out of curiosity, is your hair thin/thick/medium? Just wondering since there are only 5 rollers in that set...
