Hi Folks,
Today I want to do a review on sleep in rollers. I decided to get some rollies after watching a video on Youtube of a girl ranting and raving about how good they are. (It turns out she is the official 'spokes person' for this product). I didn't know this at the time and thought her review was great and very honest.
In the video you see her putting the rollers in while chatting about how soft and squishy they are, then laying down on a pillow and promising a great nights sleep, apparently they feel like an 'extra cushion' for your head (her words).
Convinced by her video, I asked my mother to get me them for my birthday, they cost approx £17 for the one's shown below, that's not including P&P.
When I finally got them I was really excited as i'm sure you can imagine, I ripped them open and gave them a squeeze, I was quite surprised at what I found.
I expected them to be completely made of foam but they had a hard outer layer, kinda like a normal roller only it was stuffed with foam inside. They didn't feel THAT squishy and right away I didn't think they would be comfortable to sleep in.
So that night I washed my hair and blow dried it until about 70% dry. I then proceeded to apply the rollers. They were pretty easy to use and clung to my hair really well. I only needed to secure a few of them with a hair grip, the rest held onto my hair really well by the velcro. I have really thick hair so I had to use all 20 rollers that were provided.
The rollers felt very light in my hair and were comfortable, but I had my doubts about sleeping in them.
Well, I was right to have those doubts because that night, I had the worst sleep ever!
I woke up several times during the night with the rollers pulling the underneath of my hair out. I also found that the velcro was digging into my scalp and face which was a horrible scratchy/burny feeling. I felt like I was sleeping on a bag of potatoes! I must have woken up every hour in pain. At one point I thought about getting up and taking them all out but I knew it would take me ages so I suffered until the morning.
Now, although I had a horrible nights sleep and was tired all day at college the next day, I was really pleased with the result in the morning.
Taking the rollers out were a bit of a pain because my hair was tangled around them, however once I had removed them all I was left with lovely bouncy hair. I didn't have to do much to my hair once they were out apart from gently brush my hair through. The bouncy style stayed in my hair for a couple of days and didn't really drop at all.
I think these rollers are good, they are a good size and very light weight and the hair grips to them well. However I feel as if I was mid led by false advertising about the 'sleep in' part and was quite annoyed at the girl in the video whom I trusted and subscribed to! Anyone who says they can sleep in these rollers must be talking crap. I don't think they are worth £17, you are basically paying for the packaging and gimmick, especially since you can get rollers other places at £2 for a 6 pack.
Sorry this turned into a bit of a rant. Like I said I just felt misled and quite disappointed in the product and want to let others know about my experience before they shell out the money for them.
Have you tried these rollers and had a better experience, or do you agree? Comment below!
Thanks for reading,
Until next time...
