I’m not a hair stylist but I did my mothers hair twice a week until she passed away in her 80’s this is exactly how I did her hair and it is such a wonderful memory. I did find I had Velcro rollers with metal inside and she had such thick hair I found those worked better on her than the ones with only plastic. But letting them cool completely is really key! Thank you for this video. You are awesome! 🎉
OMG, I was wondering why Velcro rollers did not work for me!! Heat is the key. I was ready to give up and put these rollers in the trash. I actually might try this today. The tip of using the blow dryer at the end to heat it up sounds like a game changer!!! Thanks again for all the tips you provide us!!! 😘
To keep the style longer cool hair completely after you heat them up. I get my hair really hot, sometimes I will use a diffuser, then cool them. Don't take them out while hair to still warm.
I have used Velcro rollers since the 60’s! My 1st hairdresser showed me why & how to use Velcro to enhance the volume of my hair. I suppose he was ahead of the times!!! I couldn’t live without them!!
I'm 6 years older an you and we did the same...and ow did we ever sleep on those things?? But I was able to crank them down with those big trangle curler nets and sleep away! We were a bit crazy in those teen years and had so much more hair, too!😂
I've been using velcro rollers for 40 years. Yes, 40 years and no matter what style I've had, I've always gotten compliments on my hair. The key is to let them cool before removing them.
I found my mum's Velcro rollers from the 90s last weekend, she doesn't use them so I did. I also brought the revlon hair dryer brush and the combo is a game changer for my fine thin hair! Getting my blunt bob hair cut on Sunday. You have changed my world! ❤️
This is amazing to read!!! You are literally the person I make these videos for. I am so happy that you find my tips to be helpful. Thank you for being apart of my hair community ❤️
@@GlamGirlGabi thank you!! Ever since having my little one, my hair has gone in patches and even thinner/finer than before 😩 only during pregnancy was my hair amazing.
@@GlamGirlGabi you helped me too. I got blunt bob hair cut 1 month ago and I love my hair soo much! I get compliments and i feel better. Just need to learn how to style my hair. I don't know how to get those rollers sectioned in my hair beautifully
@@zz-ic6vy I am so happy that you love your blunt bob! It is so life changing for fine hair isn't it? Be patient with yourself when styling your hair. There is a learning curve and you have to get through it by practising regularly. When it comes to velcro rollers, use smaller controllable sections. You may be taking sections that are too big and that is why you can't section it easily
@@GlamGirlGabi oh i you made so happy that you replied 🙌🏻 Yes, game changer! I can let my hair airdry and they look nice as well. Thank you. I was thinking that i just need practice. But how do i decide what width velcro rollers i use?
Everyone finds what fits them. Some go for hot rollers so go for Velcro. I can't get the hot rollers to work for me the way I want them to. But a curling iron then a Velcro roller to follow immediately for cooling ....amazing!!!!! I'm obsessed.
I loved the 90s! I was in my 40s then and think I looked my best. I also used velcro rollers up until a couple of years ago when I thought my hair was thinning and that they might be the cause. I will try them again using your tips. I have very fine hair and they always gave me the lift I needed. Thank you!
Yup. You are spot on, always, only, ever and always...THE BEST....television, media and each and every broadcasting outlet needs you in a journalistic and informative role, ... TRUTH.
I just bought but haven’t used them yet. I can now try with greater confidence. I was relieved when you gave the alternative tip to dry the hair completely before placing the rollers then reheat. Critical for me as I am clumsy with a blow dryer and round brush! I generally dry my hair upside down and touch up with an iron if needed. The mohawk placement and how to bring the hair section forward before rolling the back is also helpful. I’m looking forward to giving this a try!
I LOVE Velcro rollers. They give me amazing volume and wave. I try to use as little heat as possible since I have thin hair. Your rolling layout is wonderful. My hair dries while in Velcro rollers.
I’ve used Velcro curlers with my curling iron for about 20 years. Curl a section, place the Velcro curler … repeat till all are done; let cool & remove.
I love your videos! I just got my velcro rollers yesterday, this video came out at the perfect time! Thank you so much from someone who has had fine hair for the past 58 years!
Thank you Gabi for your tips on velcro rollers and using the diffuser to apply heat. I just ordered my rollers, extra clips and a dryer with a diffuser. I'm growing out my hair and although it's not thin and I have a lot of hair, I need to find someway to tame it down and control frizz. It's not as long as yours is yet, but it's getting there. My hair is wavy and tends to frizz in spring and summer when the humidity is high. I will try your tips and hope they work. I love your videos that are full of great hair advice and tips. Keep them coming and I'll keep watching them.
Thanks for sharing these great tricks. I can’t get enough of Velcro rollers. These help give lift to my baby fine hair. I purchased one of those bonnet hair dryers for hair treatments, and I also use it on my head once the rollers are in my head to quickly heat the hair to set it.
I'm new to your channel and I am soooo enjoying your content. I have heritary alopecia and as a female ( as you know) can be very discouraging and frustrating. Your content has given me so many great ideas as how to make my hair look fuller. Can't wait to see more videos. Thank you so much for sharing your content. ❤️🙏
This is the EXACT reason that I make content, You have no idea how much this means to me. I am so happy to have you here as apart of my hair community.
I had to smile when I came across this. I’ve been using these for over 30 years. You are wrong about not being able to get curls from Velcro rollers. There is a method to doing that. Everyone has wanted to know how I do my hair over the years. It has bouncy volume , curls, and spirals that last for multiple days. Everything done before really does become new again eventually. Have fun with your “new” roller sets!
Great video on velcro rollers. Have been using them for years, off and on, but learned from you not to wrap your hair too tight in order to keep hair from pulling out. Brilliant! I use them on wet hair and let them air dry. If I want a longer lasting curl, after hair is dry, I use the diffuser method you show here. Thanks for such a useful video.
I’ve had baby fine hair my whole life, and never got too competent with blow drying. I can put my hair up in Velcro rollers in 10-15 minutes, and yes, heat with my blow dryer. Friends often tell me how nice my hair is, and that they think it’s naturally wavy. It isn’t, but it looks okay for my age.
My mum recently had an injury and I am currently helping her with hair curling but need to get some lessons on how to improve. Thanks for the simple and easy video.
Thank you so much for your videos! They are so helpful.. . I have fine thin hair with a wavy curl in it .. if I don’t blow dry my hair it gets kinky, frizzy and flat… I figured out a long time ago that layering my hair didn’t do it any good cause it left the ends of my hair very thin so I quit layering my hair… I can get plenty of volume on top of my head to make it look thicker but the ends of my hair you can’t get it to look thicker unless it’s a blunt cut… so I took your advice, I went and got the blunt bob.. and I just now got my Velcro rollers which I’m going try soon.. next is getting a good hairdryer and hairdryer brush 😊 so thank you so much.. I love trying new hairstyles.. so thank for the tips 😊
I have fine hair in a lob length and have been doing this for years. There is a lot less stress on the hair, no pulling with blow dryer brushes and no harsh heat like from curling irons or flat irons.
I am 65 and remember my mother always setting her hair with brush rollers. I have thick, fine hair and going to try Velcro rollers for lift. I might roll them up on dry hair, mist with water, then dry with the diffuser. Thanks for the informative video.
I have long thick hair and try to avoid heat styling as much as possible - I set my hair on the 2.5" velcro rollers when wet and let it dry that way - I get great results with no damage. I've got a lot of hair, so it takes several hours to dry (in the winter I'll jump start it a bit by running the blow dryer over it), but I can usually get by with doing this once a week.
I’m that 90’s chick - still rolling that 90’s & early 2000’s vibe - somethings never change. Velcro rollers I think are best as a roller set after you have already curled the hair so I use mine after I use a curling iron. So by the time the heat has dried the curl sets around the roller it’s just a nice way to let that curl cool down if that makes sense so you can roll it up in the Velcro rollers do your make up by that time the curl has cooled. Obviously some people use them as regular hair rollers but I think that this is how their best intended to be used
Gabi, this is exactly how I did my hair about 25 years ago. Every morning. It gave me mad volume that lasted all day and it was smooth and bouncy. Actually just threw away my velcro rollers about 2 years ago and now I'm regretting it.......
Yay!!! Did you get some? Message me here after and let me know how it goes when you experiment with it. Remember to heat the hair up. It’s the most important step.
Will try my velcro rollers again. I tried them before and ended up ripping out my already thin hair when I pulled them out. Unrolling just ripped less hair.
Trying to remind myself how to use rollers. I haven’t used rollers since I was little in the 90s. Bought myself some to get that old Hollywood Blowout look again and needed tutorials
I grew up with my sisters and friends styling my hair styles and going to beauty salons too, and today I love facials too,lovely lady friend so much, beautiful 💐💆♂️🌹💕
Used to have an angled bob in the 90s. Would always put small braids in the front so it wouldn’t hang in my eyes but to give it volume used Velcro curlers often. Love that the 90s made a come back but more so to put an end to skinny jeans. Almost no one looks good in skinny jeans! Bring back that wide leg and flare cut.
Wher have I been? I discovered your channel a little less than one week ago and I am totally hooked😱. You are absolutely amazing! How I wish I had you for my stylist😜. I already learned a lot and thank you from the bottom of my heart😍
I used velcro rollers PAST the 90's. (OK... I am old! 66) I would use my curling iron, put a spritz of hairspray at the root, then put the rollers in. I got rid of them some years ago. Now, I wish I still had them, as my hair has changed. Finer. Thinner. It has always been stick-straight. Now I am considering growing my hair out a bit, so have been considering getting another set. Thanks for this video! I'm getting a new set!
It matters the kind of rollers. I found the Kitsch at Ulta and I prefer them. I have been using velcro rollers for 5o years. I have a bob and if I am going out and my hair is flat. I put it in Velcro and spritz with water wait 30 min and remove. works every time.
Your tips for putting them in/out are also very helpful. I think I've been doing what you said about making them too tight as well as then squishing them down when rolled. Tnx so much for this video. ❤️
Yup it’s kind of human nature to do that isn’t it? But the more you squish into the Velcro, the harder it will be to release the hair. Thanks for watching beauty!
I used my dusty Velcro rollers today with my laifen hair dryer. Life changing combo at 49.5 years old for shoulder Length medium thick coarse dark and highlighted Hair. TY :) need to perfect the removal and placement to reduce hair Stuck In roller But I’ll Practice.
Thank you for this, since Covid my hair has gone really thin, it looks awful. I have some Velcro rollers but I had forgotten them. Need some silver clips now to hold them in because they just wont grip.. You have cheered me up no end, much appreciated.
I don't have a hair dryer. I just put my hair up in these while my hair is damp and let them air dry. Seems to work. I figured it worked for my mom when I was growing up, it should work for me. 😂
Thank you so much for this video! I wish I had as much hair as you do and that mine would look as full and nice....however, my thinning , fine hair is no where near as lovely and thick as yours. I will continue to try the velcro rollers and hope that I don't make the thinning even worse. It's so hard to look at myself and the state of my hair these days...such a far cry from how it used to look it makes me sad ! Your technique for rolling and removing the curlers may help with some of my issues... I can only HOPE!! I would love to color my hair again like I did a few years ago but I am so afraid it will damage what hair I have left and make things even worse. I used to have my hair lightly highlighted with some low lights also but I haven't done it in 2 years and am so scared to do it ....now I just live with the little bit of grey that I have and try to deal with making my hair look less thin and flat. Thanks again for making this video. I have enjoyed watching your channel !!
They will rip the living heck out of your hair. I have probably lost two full scalps of hair by velcro rollers. It's the only thing I've used in years, but I've paid for it by loss of hair. I suggest you use them when you really really need body because you are going to lose hair everytime you use them and it adds up over the years.
Thanks for the tips on how to use these rollers. I bought them after watching a previous video and struggling with getting them stuck. Definitely learned some things!
Yay! I’m so glad that this video came at a good time for you. Remember - Roll them in an orderly way, don’t make the section too big, and don’t squish the hair into the Velcro too much. That will help you out a lot.
Just a disclaimer, I am wearing a wig in my photo that I took years ago. That being said, I was cursed with thin and fine hair. In my 30s I starting using velcro rollers and this cool heat cap you warm up in the microwave. This at least gave me a little lift. Then in 2003 when I was 37, I went to a new hairdresser who said my hair looked "dated" and she had an idea. I agreed to her installing at least 50 hair extensions that were crimped with a bead. The hair was a perfect match. It wasn't the most comfortable but my hair was at least 6" longer and I could make a pony tail that was thick! The blend was perfect and it made me feel SO GOOD to have so much hair! Sadly in about two weeks, the extension started to fall out with my natural hair with it. Nobody every discussed "maintenance". I got so frustrated I ended up cutting the rest out. I will try going back to the rollers. *I wished I knew a way to clean them from all the hair that gets stuck* Because my hair is so microscopically fine, almost translucent, they get stuck in the roller and for someone with ocd, I wont use them like that.
Yeah I have used Velcro rollers for lift and volume but for curl you need a diffuser for that then finish of with a volume dust powder works amazing body
Hi Gabi, I have tied Velcro rollers many times without good results. What works much better consistently is a large round BRISTLE brush barrel that I leave in and allow to cool. The brush barrel offers a center that heats up which the Velcro does not. It’s a game changer and always so disappointed when I see you tube influencers touting Velcro when the others work 300% better!
You have the all-one-length hair length I’ve been considering. My hair is longer about 3-4 inches past my shoulders. Can you talk about the pros and cons of short vs long? Another good video today 😄
@@GlamGirlGabi I put them on before I shower to let the steam work a bit and then hit it with my hair dryer to set while I do my makeup. Lasts all day and night.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! i have such fine hair that i cant get volume to my roots and it makes so sad. I am very appreciative that you explained alternatives to the round brush as well! thank you!
Thank you for explaining. How to used velcro rollers and their intended use. I really like how my hair looks when curly-up. I am sure that you have a video about that.
I love your video. Valcro rollers have been around for decades. It seems like it takes decade to get on my hair. I have very fine hair and it gets tangled With those rollers I have tried over and over and over. But your video is great either way. I just bought some magnetic rollers. Same concept no Velcro And they clip in place. But I love the whole beautiful full hair trend it is fantastic.
@@GlamGirlGabiMy apologies as I’m, just now seeing this. Found some on Amazon but they’re not always available. Also just found pink, longer/wider length ones that make it easy to roll w/o jamming the hair onto the roller or use larger sections when hurried for a quick lift. They’re 31/2” vs 21/2” The Brand is Dacker. The metal heats up nicely & acts as a hot roller. 😊
