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'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 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'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’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’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.
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!
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 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!
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’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.......
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.
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.
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.
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. 😂
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.
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 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 💐💆♂️🌹💕
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.
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 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!
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 😊
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
Another thing these are good for is put all your rollers in, then take one out at a time if you want to curl your hair with a curling iron. It gets all the hair out of the way so you can focus on one piece of hair at a time
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.
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😍
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.
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 !!
I bought Velcro rollers because I'm too lazy to style my hair, I used them all the time in the late nineties/ early 2000's. I had no idea they were back in fashion. 🤷♀️
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!
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
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 😄
If you use them with your hair wet and let it dry like wash your hair Saturday morning and just leave them all day, take out in late afternoon. She gave great tip of gently unroll from roots and don’t be inpatient jerking them out of your bed. If too much curl.. then do dry with larger ones and some spray. The same with smooth rollers. I always used Bedhead because it really holds. Back in the 80s when it was the Dallas show on and you back brushed the sides up like you had pretty combs - the Bedhead spray would hold it without combs and all night partying. Then let it dry totally and take down. Flip your head over and work fingers through and flip back and leave alone. They were meant to be used for curl etc… their original purpose in the 60-70s was to curl your hair without clips. I used 1 clip per roller and put a silky sleep cap so the hair doesn’t get snagged up. I don’t understand the issue with people saying their hair gets all caught up with hot rollers. Maybe newer sets and the way they are made is the issue. Complain to manufacturer and ask for modification to the design. Mine were so silky ceramic that they just slid out sometimes before ready..had to use two clips as I was trying to get dressed and getting hose on etc. I had two sets with small and medium, and another with medium and large and mixed them as needed for my hair length and cut. My hair is fine and I’m late seventies. My hair was fine but very thick and depending on cut which could be long slight layers or layers all over starting at the crown and pretty far down or medium short with layers all over. Never had tangling or ripping out hair nor any friends having issues either with this. That’s something folks would certainly not want to happen. It’s been years since I got a new set. My hair has gotten wavier as I have aged so if cut well, the natural wave and curls have just sprung up more like beachy wave so I just wash, let it dry and work some gel through it for a little separation and that’s it. Or I use my hot curler with teeth that I get hot, roll on regular rollers and just leave until time to get dressed. Sometimes I just wash before bed, let dry over night and use my hot curler with teeth in the morning so it’s not as much time consuming and it’s not quite so slippery the next day whenever I style it a bit. But I use the INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Tourmaline Ceramic Hot Curl Brush, 1-Inch with a long barrel and it’s either the 1” or the the larger 1 1/2. I have had mine for a number of years. It has settings way up to like 360F. But I never use it over the lowest 195-200 F I think. Just keep it at what it comes on to. It’s called a brush.. but it’s not a brush with bristles like some have or like a hair brush. It’s hard bristles 1 set larger than the other with the middle red ones smaller. Slides nicely. If I was more flexible, I would do the curl. Maybe a little hotter, take each one down, wrap around fingers and pin the hair, let it completely cool, or even use smooth rollers. But with shoulder issues and hair problems.. too difficult these days. How many ladies remember the soup cans (Campbell’s soup, or tomato paste cans) to roll our hair in the 70s. We used a night cap pulled tight to hold the cans in - only one end to pin but some of us got our fathers, etc to cut the opposite end removed and could pin on both ends. Couldn’t sleep on those. We sure went to a lot of trouble. I remember when we went back to really old days back like they did late 1800s where they used old fabric strips which is what we went back to rolling our hair in and tied them. Gosh it was a pain and we looked silly- much better when they came out with the same idea but padded and Velcro closure what 1980s. Those were also great with short layered hair. Harder with long hair. Gave you curls with no permanent solution. I guess they were our first beach waves before it became the rage.
I want to add also use smaller rollers to let it dry all day or to sleep in - but those smaller rollers give a tighter curl, but when you took it down, put the make on , dressed and by the time you got where you were going , it had relaxed and was where you wanted it. As opposed to great big one and when you got where you were going, it was like just lying there better than if you hadn’t done anything, but the lift, volume, bend etc was gone. I guess young women today don’t want to really to go through what we usually went through, ie sleeping with head of rollers, any kind. I loved hot rollers of multiple sizes, they worked fast but then somewhere they started getting so hot. I have a styling curler now that’s 390-400F. That’s crazy, I almost never use it. If my hair has any pieces of damp from where I dried - it sizzles. Oh my gosh. I think when I finally get it cut, because the curlers spring up so much now - will cut in light layered bob, just long enough to clip up. But easy to grow out so don’t have be in beauty shop every 3-4 weeks, and also not so long, it kills my shoulders to get it up. I would like some ideas on putting it but so it doesn’t hurt the shoulder. Special clips that will stay in fine slippery hair. Now that it’s so long, also at waist line, just can’t do anything. And when it comes down , it looks I’m the old washer woman with it just straight down, hang limp because it’s all one length. Just terrible.
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.
Everytime I use velcro rollers, my hair comes out with the rollers. No one ever showed me how to use them before! I'll buy some new ones and try them again, since I threw my old ones out in frustration!😅
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.
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.
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.
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!

I use my Velcro rollers to smooth out my curls and add bounce. I add them @ 80% dry and leave them in for about 2 hours. No heat styling needed.
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 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!
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 think you explained this better than anyone I have heard before
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
Awesome suggestion! Thanks for leaving the comment. It’s a good idea.
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.......
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.
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.
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.
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. 😂
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.
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 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 💐💆♂️🌹💕
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.
I’ve been using Velcro rollers on my thin hair for 20+ years.
It’s the best! Looks so pretty!
I never used them but my hair is fine and now thinning
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 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!
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 😊
This is a very helpful tutorial without being ridiculously long. Thank you!
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.
I love beauty facials and hairstyles too, glam ladies!💐💆♂️🌹
Yes! So missing the 80s and 90s makeup and hair. So much fun!
I love it so much. I agree with you!
This is also reminiscent of 1970’s hair! Soft and bouncy hair!
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!
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 all about the 90s yes 🎉🎉
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
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.
You explain it so amazingly! I just ordered my first set of Velcro rollers from Amazon today 😬 so excited!
I hope you love them!
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.
I've been using the same 8 ceramic core velcro rollers since 1999.
I love that ❤️
@@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.
I love beauty facials and lovely hairstyles and fashion colors and styles too 💐💆♂️💝
We did this in the 70’s and also heated rollers too 😂 most decades seem to have re-invented this
Very good informative video 😊 no waffling pure relevant information & showing how to curl 😊
Another really great how-to for my fine hair ; ) Thank you!
When I used rollers I did it on wet hair, sat under a dryer then took the rollers out. It was very time-consuming.
You make it look so easy. Your hair is beautiful!
I still have my Velcro rollers from the 90s lol still use em
DITTO and they work great for short hair as well as longer hair.
Should you put a volume lifter like a spray or mousse in when it's wet for more help on volume?
Thank you for sharing with us! I always wanted to know how to roll my hair to get volume. Thanks for the tutorial & very nice result ;)
Another thing these are good for is put all your rollers in, then take one out at a time if you want to curl your hair with a curling iron. It gets all the hair out of the way so you can focus on one piece of hair at a time
Love your videos, keep posting!
Thank you so much Lisa! I really appreciate the kind words! I value having you as apart of this hair community :)
I used my dusty Velcro rollers today with my laifen hair dryer.

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😍
So funny- I’ve been doing this since the 80s. Full circle 😂
This video came just in time! Thank you!
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.
I love you, Gabi! You're so all-inclusive & that makes ALL of us feel welcome! You're much cooler than Shania Twain, hands down!!!
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 !!
Since I clip them anyway I just use plastic rollers. That way the Velcro does not pull my hair out.
I bought Velcro rollers because I'm too lazy to style my hair, I used them all the time in the late nineties/ early 2000's. I had no idea they were back in fashion. 🤷♀️
I love how educated you are. Such a good teacher.
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!
Hi. Would you please make 5-10 must have hair tools
Hello! What spray/product do you recommend for really thin, flat hair? Thanks ❤️
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
Thank you for your tips on rolling hair. I have long, fine hair and I just want volume. I will try these rollers. Thank you. Angela
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 😄
This is a great video idea. I’m writing IG down. I’ll try to make this for next week. Thanks girl!
@@GlamGirlGabi thank you!!
Yes, nineties was great for being pretty!!! I am told that I seem stuck there, Thank you cuz I meant to do that!
Snap on plastic rollers are great, too. Salon perfect!
If you use them with your hair wet and let it dry like wash your hair Saturday morning and just leave them all day, take out in late afternoon. She gave great tip of gently unroll from roots and don’t be inpatient jerking them out of your bed. If too much curl.. then do dry with larger ones and some spray. The same with smooth rollers. I always used Bedhead because it really holds. Back in the 80s when it was the Dallas show on and you back brushed the sides up like you had pretty combs - the Bedhead spray would hold it without combs and all night partying. Then let it dry totally and take down. Flip your head over and work fingers through and flip back and leave alone.
They were meant to be used for curl etc… their original purpose in the 60-70s was to curl your hair without clips. I used 1 clip per roller and put a silky sleep cap so the hair doesn’t get snagged up.
I don’t understand the issue with people saying their hair gets all caught up with hot rollers. Maybe newer sets and the way they are made is the issue. Complain to manufacturer and ask for modification to the design. Mine were so silky ceramic that they just slid out sometimes before ready..had to use two clips as I was trying to get dressed and getting hose on etc. I had two sets with small and medium, and another with medium and large and mixed them as needed for my hair length and cut. My hair is fine and I’m late seventies. My hair was fine but very thick and depending on cut which could be long slight layers or layers all over starting at the crown and pretty far down or medium short with layers all over. Never had tangling or ripping out hair nor any friends having issues either with this.
That’s something folks would certainly not want to happen. It’s been years since I got a new set. My hair has gotten wavier as I have aged so if cut well, the natural wave and curls have just sprung up more like beachy wave so I just wash, let it dry and work some gel through it for a little separation and that’s it. Or I use my hot curler with teeth that I get hot, roll on regular rollers and just leave until time to get dressed. Sometimes I just wash before bed, let dry over night and use my hot curler with teeth in the morning so it’s not as much time consuming and it’s not quite so slippery the next day whenever I style it a bit. But I use the INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Tourmaline Ceramic Hot Curl Brush, 1-Inch with a long barrel and it’s either the 1” or the the larger 1 1/2. I have had mine for a number of years. It has settings way up to like 360F. But I never use it over the lowest 195-200 F I think. Just keep it at what it comes on to. It’s called a brush.. but it’s not a brush with bristles like some have or like a hair brush. It’s hard bristles 1 set larger than the other with the middle red ones smaller. Slides nicely. If I was more flexible, I would do the curl. Maybe a little hotter, take each one down, wrap around fingers and pin the hair, let it completely cool, or even use smooth rollers. But with shoulder issues and hair problems.. too difficult these days.
How many ladies remember the soup cans (Campbell’s soup, or tomato paste cans) to roll our hair in the 70s. We used a night cap pulled tight to hold the cans in - only one end to pin but some of us got our fathers, etc to cut the opposite end removed and could pin on both ends. Couldn’t sleep on those. We sure went to a lot of trouble. I remember when we went back to really old days back like they did late 1800s where they used old fabric strips which is what we went back to rolling our hair in and tied them. Gosh it was a pain and we looked silly- much better when they came out with the same idea but padded and Velcro closure what 1980s. Those were also great with short layered hair. Harder with long hair. Gave you curls with no permanent solution. I guess they were our first beach waves before it became the rage.
I want to add also use smaller rollers to let it dry all day or to sleep in - but those smaller rollers give a tighter curl, but when you took it down, put the make on , dressed and by the time you got where you were going , it had relaxed and was where you wanted it. As opposed to great big one and when you got where you were going, it was like just lying there better than if you hadn’t done anything, but the lift, volume, bend etc was gone. I guess young women today don’t want to really to go through what we usually went through, ie sleeping with head of rollers, any kind. I loved hot rollers of multiple sizes, they worked fast but then somewhere they started getting so hot. I have a styling curler now that’s 390-400F. That’s crazy, I almost never use it. If my hair has any pieces of damp from where I dried - it sizzles. Oh my gosh. I think when I finally get it cut, because the curlers spring up so much now - will cut in light layered bob, just long enough to clip up. But easy to grow out so don’t have be in beauty shop every 3-4 weeks, and also not so long, it kills my shoulders to get it up.
I would like some ideas on putting it but so it doesn’t hurt the shoulder. Special clips that will stay in fine slippery hair. Now that it’s so long, also at waist line, just can’t do anything. And when it comes down , it looks I’m the old washer woman with it just straight down, hang limp because it’s all one length. Just terrible.
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'm glad I was able to cheer you up!
Just the info I am looking for. My hair is about your length and I will have to dig out my velcro rollers and buy more!
Everytime I use velcro rollers, my hair comes out with the rollers. No one ever showed me how to use them before! I'll buy some new ones and try them again, since I threw my old ones out in frustration!😅
I always wanted to know how to use Velcro rollers! Thanks
I’m definitely trying this! I have a slightly longer bob than yours, alottttt of gaor but it’s fine. Thanks Gabi! ❤️
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.
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 was a 90s teen. i used steam rollers for goddess hair
Wow! Doing the Mohawk & wrapping them up, is a great idea!
Thankyou for your interesting videos. I have used velcro rollers for many years and love them.
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.
Thank you Gabi😀 I love your videos & always get something great from them every time. Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺 💕
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!
Learn to tease your hair. I am 77 and have been teasing my hair since I was 17. Teasing does NOT damage your hair.
Excellent explanation with accompanying video shots of each step in the process. I just may try Velcro rollers! 👍🏻☺️
Wow I held on to my old rollers for a reason. Lol and I never knew how to take them out cuz I would get so frustrated.
I love medium to small roller styles too, glam lady friend!💐😍👄
Thank you Gabi! Your hints and tips are so helpful and clever!
