Hot Rollers on My Blow-dried Hair + Video

Hey Y'all!
 
So I know that the flexi rods won the curl contest in the Clash of the Curls, but I expressed to you that I still really love both the traditional roller set and the hot roller set.
 
 
 
 
Last wash day, I blew my hair dry and then curled it using my Remington hot rollers, and guess what! I filmed it! So today I'm sharing with you just how I get big, bouncy curls with my hot rollers. Check out the video fo' da deets:
 
 
 
 
 

There you have it, my blow dry and hot roller set routine.
 



How do you install hot rollers?

Clash of the Curls

Hey Lovelies!!

Today I'm comparing curls.
I know what you're thinking. No, the curl combat isn't with other girls.
This one is taking place on my own head.

I'm showcasing the results of three methods of creating curls, and then deciding which is the best (IMO).
I'm grading them on beautyease and durability.

So without further ado, these are they:

1. The Flexi Rod Set






2. The Hot Roller Set




 

3. The Traditional Roller Set






In the beauty category, I'm gonna have to give it to the hot rollers. This method always gives me va va voom curls that are so sexy and sultry. Love them.
 
In terms of ease of creating the style, It's a close one between the flexi rod and the hot roller set. If my hair is already straight, it'll take me on average, twenty minutes to install my rollers. If I have to blow-dry my hair, it's about forty minutes. With the flexi rods however, on straight hair, I can get them done in 5 minutes if I do about 6 rods (as per above). And if I need to blow-dry prior to installing the rods I would need about 25 minutes. So it's a win for the flexis!
 
In the finally round, I'm judging based on how long a style lasts. Sorry hot rollers! You've been knocked out. This one is between the flexis and the regular rollers. This is a tough one though. I'd have to say that while the results from the regular rollers last quite some time, the flexi rod curls can go a bit longer. PLUS they can be turned into a plethora of other cute styles with ease.
 
Well well well! It seems the flexi rod set emerged the winner of this match-up. I didn't even realize they were such winners till today lol. I'm gonna have to do them more often.
 
I must say though, that I love the results I get from all three and they each have a place in my hair journey and my heart.
 


What's your favorite means of achieving curls?
