It's kinda old school of me but I'm trying to use hot rollers today for my big date tonight and failing...how do these damn things work!?!?!?!?!
 
I wouldn't even begin to know.

But yay for date night! I hope you have a blast! You're going to see Fireproof, no? Can't wait to hear how you like it!
 
Hmmm. I used to always use them... didn't know there was a trick though. :) You heat them up and put them in. :) Is your hair not holding the curl? You can spray your hair before you roll it. And leave it in for a little while.
 
My hair is super long and I still roll mine, it holds curl alot better if it's just slightly damp and I mist a little hair spray in it before rolling. I let them stay in for at least 30 to 45 minutes. I do not brush it afterwards either, just a pick or your fingers to shake it out some :) have fun on your date
 
I use them all the time. Roll the hair nice and tight, then stick the long end of the pin on the underneath side of the roll, not on top of the roll. That should hold it. It won't feel great...but your hair will look real cute ;)
 
Traci, I was going to say, your hair looks very thick, you would need to use very small pieces to wrap around the rollers. And roll them close together so that one roller holds the other. KWIM?
 
Ok they're in...kinda hahahaha! thanks for the tips! all I really want them for is the lift from my roots so hopefully that'll help!
 
I use them occassionally. They can turn out really pretty. Just be warned--with thick hair, they give you a LOT of body. Just letting you know!
 
I so want to see a pic of blue-faced Traci in hot rollers!!! :D
I've used them before, and I do like them, my hair just doesn't hold style very well. I do want to try those long skinny ones that give you spirals!
 
I have tried to use them in the past but my hair is so darn thick it gets all tangled and just becomes a big ole mess. I found using a curling iron worked better for me when I curl my hair that is. I have so much body in my hair that most of the time I just wash, brush and go.
 
Well I'm sorry to disappoint with the blue face and hot rollers, but here's the poodle effect, which P actually likes so I guess I'm going with it LOL
