Sleeping in curlers?

[Daisy Buchanan]

I have rollers from Sally's Beauty supply that are quite comfortable to sleep in. They are long spongy strips (think soft "Hot Sticks") covered in fabric with snaps on the ends. You kind of interlock the curlers as you roll.


Its the "wrap, snap and go" set http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/wrapsnapgo.html

Those look great. I use rag rollers and a hair net, when I have the patience to use something other than hot rollers. I know I know, sleeping in a set overnight is gonna give me the best curl, but I hate sleeping with a wet head. The rag rollers really work, but I really like these snappy ones. I just recently went on a curler kick and bought a few too many sets to try out, but what's one more set! Thanks for the link Honey Doll.

Spoolies are pretty darn worthless, in my opinion. My old-school hairdresser told me they didn't work, but when I came across some vintage ones I bought them anyway. They refused to stay in and slid right out, and the ones that kind of stayed didn't curl the hair at all.

I don't know of anyone who had luck with Spoolies. Long hair/short hair thick or thin, they just don't stay put!

I gave them to my daughter to use in her doll's hair (they don't work for that either)

I am so thrilled with the foam rubber curlers that I picked up--they are so easy to use, comfy, and create a great curl. They give the best, most consistent results of any set I have tried

lol, whenever I sleep in my foam curlers I have bad dreams where I wake up and most of them have fallen out of my hair or the curls come out horrible! The dreams never come true though, I love my curlers!

They are made by Goody (though I couldn't find them on their Web site) and I found them at the grocery store ($6/16 rollers.)

The other good thing about them is that they store nice and flat

what do they look like jitterbugdoll?

Here's a site with rollers for the "tenderheaded." They have some Goody's rollers?

Are they the Pillow Soft ones by any chance? They look like they would be comfortable.

I'm going to attempt my first wet set tonight and have bought velcro sleep rollers (they were cheap). Are these type of rollers any good?

Also, do I have to wash my hair or should I just dampen it?
Thanks
Kerry

just dampen it a bit. I find those sprayers for plants workthe best to do the job!

I wear foam rollers in bed. I tie a scarf round my head and they don't budge an inch.

I have to use plastic rollers--my hair gets caught in the sponge ones, and they curl too tight! I slept in them for the first time last night, and I didn't lose any sleep or curls--I wrapped a long scarf over my head to keep them in place. I've done pin curls too, and for that I put the "panty" part of panty hose on. It's snug and won't budge!

I've been reading this thread a lot lately and several things were mentioned which I'm not sure I understand. What is the difference between sponge roller and foam rubber rollers? And what are these sponge rollers with wires inside them? Many people believe these are the most comfortable. Are they similar the Goody Pillow Rollers? Are there smaller ones available for tighter curls?

So do I. I cannot wear plastic rollers in bed they hurt terribly. But foam curlers are o.k.

I'm currently involved in experimenting with lots of different ideas for sleeping with rollers in. The best combination that I have come up with so far is to use normal plastic rollers in the front of my hair and pin curls in the back and sleep on my back! Alternatively I use normal plastic rollers all over and sleep with one of these behind my neck http://www.mumstuff.co.uk/acatalog/Aroma-Cushion-Neck-Rest.html. It works like a dream.

I find that the rollers that are soft and spongey usually have the velcro self grip stuff on them and this nearly always makes my hair go very frizzy. So I avoid them like the plague and stick with the traditional kind.

I'm not positive, but what I'm interpreting is

OK, hopefully, all those links work...

So far in my expirimentation, the plastic/magnetic rollers hurt to sleep in, so I use those on top for my bangs. The Sponge/Foam rollers are kinda comfortable, but I have a short neck. And pincurls are the easiest and most comfortable to sleep in. I use X'd Bobby Pins. My next expirement will be with the foam/rubber rods... hee hee and then the pillow soft... YAY!

Thanks for all the links, red. They were really helpful. Good luck with all your experimenting!

Rags Curlers and wave clamps..

 

[artful dodgette]

i love using the sponge rods or pincurls to sleep in with a hairnet over the top! usually does the trick!

 

[ASimpleLady]

Rag curls worked really well for me. You can tie them up with a bandana to keep them close to your head.
