If you have been reading my blog for a while or have browsed through any of past posts, you may well be aware that I am slightly roller crazy and have been for the past year or so.
Up until the beginning of this year, I had been using standard velcro rollers and I actually continue to do so when I'm styling and setting my hair throughout the day, but on the occasion where I want to prepare my hair for the following day, soft sleep in type rollers are most definitely what I go for.
They are very much the same as a standard roller, though rather than velcro on hard plastic, they are soft materials filled with foam which are soft to the touch and more comfortable to lay on.
For the past ten months or so, I have been using the Boots own ones which I blogged about here. I originally had my eye on a similar set to these Lauren Goodger Dream Rollers, but I didn't rely on Rollers too much at that point thus spending more money than necessary felt slightly crazy.
I have been a fan of some of the Lauren's Way tanning range for a while now and when I was recently given the opportunity to give this Dream Rollers 20 pack a go, I was thrilled and couldn't wait to wear the Pink rollers in my hair. The Pink finish to them is definitely what caught my eye and although the colour of a roller shouldn't really matter, it is definitely a nice girly touch.
20 rollers is by far more than enough to cover my whole head and although I don't tend to use more than about 6/8 surrounding predominately my parting area for lift and volume at the roots, it is nice to have more there just in case I do decide to go all out. It's also nice to have all matching rollers for the first time. I know rollers aren't made to be worn outside, so it's not necessary to be matching but it is nice and whilst I have them in I'm left feeling all 1960s Barbie Doll like.
I apply these either after blowdrying my hair or just before bed with little bit of heat (usually a run over with my ghds) to ensure they set better and attempt to have the best sleep possible with them. Now, as comfortable as these are meant to be, be aware that they're not going to give you a dream sleep. If you struggle with getting comfortable they are more than likely not for you, but I love my sleep and so tend to manoeuvre my pillows a little and then I'm out for the clouds. I secure these with a little grip, just to ensure they don't move about and unroll as such, because other wise I would be left with a curl towards the end of my hair rather than volume at the root, which is where I like it and what I use my rollers for.
I really like using these and they work tremendously at giving me a little bit of lift at my roots to give me bigger, bouncier hair with more shape, especially towards the front of my hair, which can be a little flat and lifeless without any attention.
Like I mentioned, I only tend to use around 8 Dream Rollers at a time and they are available in sets of both 8 and 20. This set of 20 would definitely be necessary if you have more hair than I do or you want a full head of curls rather than just volume on the parting area.
They are available to buy here on the Lauren's way site for £7.95 and £16.95.
