How to correctly use Velcro rollers? Start with damp hair or use a spray bottle with water to wet hair slightly. Separate a one- to two-inch section of hair and comb to remove any tangles. Place a curler at the bottom of the section, then roll towards your scalp and secure. Once hair is dry, unroll the curlers and gently separate the curls with your fingers Hint: unless you want major volume, don’t brush your hair after using hair curlers! Use a curler? ×Wrong answer. Curlers’ temperature can damage thin hair because of their heat. Would you use hot rollers? ×Wrong answer again. Because hot rollers also use heat, which can weaken and break thin hair. Get a perm? ×Okay, maybe. If you’re set on having curly hair for six months, that might be a solution. But in my case, I just wanted to have curls a few days a week.
