The hotsticks are OK but the curl doesn't seem to last and I really don't like using heat on my hair too often. And thanks for the sweet compliments, I needs 'em at the moment! xLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928581371148603154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874726742890752205.post-15814009998696892792010-10-01T08:52:41.011+01:002010-10-01T08:52:41.011+01:00I've never heard of these, but interesting alt...I've never heard of these, but interesting although I would just need all small ones. I have a set of old (mid 90s!) electric curlers which are all small curlers and honestly I don't know what I will do when they finally give up! In fact they're not even mine, mine did give up, but then my friend who doesn't set her hair anymore gave me hers, phew!<br /><br />One day I will need replacement and so I always love that people say what they use! I can't sleep in curlers or anything, my hair so thick and I have to use so many my head is about a foot from the pillow, ok maybe not quite but you get the picture!Straight Talking Mama!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13010105224878943505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874726742890752205.post-28559285853878149642010-10-01T08:24:13.759+01:002010-10-01T08:24:13.759+01:00If nothing else, it will make a great back-up if y...If nothing else, it will make a great back-up if you get caught in the rain, or some other horror. The softer look is very pretty. Might be useful if you're going to do an updo as well.<br /><br />Like the leopard print, by the way!Mrs. Exeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228765866473642505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874726742890752205.post-32846012838833305342010-10-01T01:59:29.961+01:002010-10-01T01:59:29.961+01:00Fabulous!

And I found wrapping the curl as tight as possible at the beginning made a big difference too. I haven't tried putting setting lotion in the water, nice tip.Miss 1929https://www.blogger.com/profile/04156597827736393894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874726742890752205.post-60245512043659196482010-09-30T22:54:57.050+01:002010-09-30T22:54:57.050+01:00Your hair colour looks absolutely gorgeous!

I love the finished style, it really suits you, but you're right, it definitely has a late 50s vibe, let us know what its like if you manage to get hold of the smaller ones. I love the idea of the steam, and the design is really nice too.xxxYesterday Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03503742865266845937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874726742890752205.post-61003647345409741332010-09-30T22:40:59.157+01:002010-09-30T22:40:59.157+01:00These are what I started on, for the most part. Li...These are what I started on, for the most part. Like you, I got softer waves and curls and was looking for something a bit tighter. That is when I moved to perm rods. (This was many years ago by the way.) I no longer use the steam rollers for a few reasons, 1) I found the curls to not be as strong and tight. By strong I mean the hold. It was far too easy to brush out the curl and a set would never last more than a day. 2) the curl diameter varied in each curl far too much. The ends would be super tight, but the closer to the root the wider the curl. It made styling difficult. 3) My hair texture would never allow for a 15 min set. I definitely need to set for a day for nice strong tight curls and they were far too bulky to sit on my head all day.<br /><br />That is why I moved to perm rods. They were easier to sleep on. Yes, they are still very bulky, but much less. The curl size is pretty much equal throughout and I have found that I can get the voluminous curls that the steams provided just with proper brushing. <br /><br />Now that I have purchased a soft bonnet dryer, I find that I can get a sweet style with perm rods in 3 hours, versus 24. Now I know that sounds like an awful long time, but for me alone, and my hair thickness and texture, 3 hours is heaven sent! Naturally if I let it set 24 hours I get a 3 day set. The 3 hour bonnet dryer set only provides a nice 1-2 day set.<br /><br />The biggest thing I can say FOR the steamers, is that they taught me a lot about what my hair needs and how sets work. Which direction to go, ect.<br /><br />In the end, I prefer the perm rods for my hair.<br /><br />With all that said... your hair looks very beautiful!! I can see what you mean by more 50's feel, however you and your hair are still GORGEOUS! xoxoxoxLolita Hazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348826614712363322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874726742890752205.post-80715531241374248832010-09-30T21:45:55.804+01:002010-09-30T21:45:55.804+01:00I set my hair only in pin curls as it is very thic...I set my hair only in pin curls as it is very thick and I don't have the Patience be the truth told to fiddle with hot things.I have heard many say the hot sticks are better than the curlers,you could always give them a try.By the way I think it turned out marvelous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
