Curl irons? Lord, they scare me! No, seriously, these irons look very attractive and easy-to-use. But whenever I see someone straightening or curling their hair with the help of any of such items, I can imagine their hair follicles crying out loud in agony. Okay, that's about me. They might be suitable to many, but for me, these hair curling techniques are a strict no-no. Let me tell you that I have very straight hair, and I love it! However, there have been times when the straightness of my hair has pissed me off to such an extent, that I've even thought of getting those beautiful straight tresses chopped off forever. Hah, thanks to foam hair rollers which, on using, add immense volume, and give an entirely new look to that boring hairstyle. They're fun, and guess what? They won't damage your hair at all, when curlers or curl irons can be tough on hair. So, how to use them correctly? Which are the best picks? Is setting wet hair in rollers really effective? Well, all questions end here.
Foam Hair Rollers: Application Explained
They're easy, they're friendly, and your hair will love them. So much, that you could sleep with them on. If your heart weeps every time you see your limp, dead hair, it's time to do something crazy with them by using these rollers, and create different hairstyles. So, how do they work? To start with, foam hair rollers are used like any other rollers, however, with just a little difference. Fortunately, these rollers have a kind of a clamp that holds them in place, thus, avoiding use of any kind of hair pins to keep them where they are. If you have no clue of how to use hair rollers, let me tell you that there are two methods of using a roller; off-base and on-base. While in the off-base roller method, the end result is total curls but slight lifts, in the on-base method, the application of rollers will give maximum lift and volume to the hair. Large foam hair rollers available in the market can be used for curling long but unmanageable hair to get a new exciting look!
How to Use

Things needed:
- Foam Hair Rollers
- Wide-tooth Comb
- Hair Spray/Mousse
Secondly, make as many sections as you want and start rolling each one of them under onto the roller, reaching to your hair, and clamp the roller lock when you're done rolling the section.
Thirdly, try rolling smaller sections at a time as they are easy to do, and decide till where you want to curl your hair sections. Roll all the sections in the same way, and leave them intact.
Fourthly, Apply a mousse or hair spray onto the curled sections to help them set better. You could sleep on your rollers as they are comparatively much softer than others, and also, less harmful.
Lastly, remove the rollers carefully the next day. Many a time, people end up strangling their hair strands as a result of improper roller removal. Hence, it is highly recommended to remove each and every strand off the rollers patiently and properly. Once they're removed, comb your hair with a light hand, but don't comb them much. Use your fingers instead to set the hair the way you want.
This way, you can create some great curly hair updos with the help of these rollers in the nick of time, and without much effort. Most importantly, after a little bit of practice and experiments, you won't even feel the need of going to the parlor and squander money every time for a new look.
One of the many things that people tend to forget is to use rollers on wet hair, thinking, the more wet their hair is, the more effective the curls will be. However, to their dismay, applying rollers onto wet hair will not only end up in bizarre curls, but would also damage their hair. Hence, to get the best results, it is always recommended to let the hair become almost dry before rolling them up, and keep in mind all the essential tips for curly hair care. Now that you have all that is required to sport a curly hairstyle without harming them, why go for all sorts of irons and curlers when there is a wide variety of rollers that will make your hair love them?
