Hair Rollers 101
The last year and a half have been nothing close to glamorous. However, now that pandemic conditions are slowly improving and our social calendars are filling up again, we deserve to make up for that lost time. We want to teach you everything you need to know about hair rollers so you too can feel like Cindy Crawford or Claudia Schiffer when you step out at your next event. Here at The Edge, we don’t believe you have to be a supermodel to have that iconic 90s blowout look. All you need are hair rollers!
Choosing a Roller: Hot vs. Velcro
This is completely based on what you want out of your end result. Hot rollers are very similar to a curling wand. They create voluminous, soft and silky waves. Velcro rollers are really working to offer you volume. Both types of rollers achieve salon-style blowouts, so you can’t go wrong, but if you are looking for a no-heat alternative, velcro rollers are for you!
