Velcro rollers are easy to use once you know how. Learning how to use them pays dividends when it comes to maintaining healthy hair.
Velcro rollers are designed to stay in the hair for a short while and using them is a great way of minimising heat damage.
Heat damage is a significant cause of dry, brittle and frizzy hair. Reducing heat can limit damage to the hair. You can get incredible styling results with just a few strategically placed velcro rollers. I’ll tell you how.
Big, fat rollers make big waves. Perfect for long hair and for adding volume. For shorter styles, go for medium to small rollers.
Experiment and see what works for you.
It’s best to apply them to hair when it’s still slightly warm whilst still retaining some moisture.
After washing your hair, use a towel to blot out excess water.
If the hair is still very wet give your hair a short blast with the hairdryer before you apply a styling product.
Styling Mist for Natural Hold and Volume. This hair volumizer spray gives you control and volume whilst leaving your hair with natural movement.
After applying your styling product you can rough dry your with the hairdryer on a medium setting. Choosing cooler settings is better for your hair.
When the hair is warm it has the flexibility for styling.
Be careful not to over-dry the hair.
Most importantly, your hair should be warm but still have some moisture, so not completely dry.
Apply the rollers by taking a small section of hair.
Make sure that you don’t cover the full width of the roller with hair, leaving space at either end.
Tension is the most vital part of applying Velcro rollers. If you get this right and you’ll avoid tangles.
Start by holding the roller at the end of the hair, keep the hair at a straight angle, and maintain the tension as you roll to the roots.
Ensure you are not pulling at the roots when you do this.
Leave your rollers to cool and take them out in 10-15 minutes. Roll them back and use your hands and fingers to push your hair in place.
I have three principles that I always follow when styling hair. Follow them when styling hair at home to get the best results.
Use less product. When using styling products, use a little. If you overdo it, you risk the hair becoming difficult to style.
Dry your hair for less time. In my experience, most of us overdry our hair. Your don’t need to get your hair completely dry when working with a hairdryer. When hair is too dry, it loses its flexibility.
Don’t overwork the hair. Hair can become flat if it’s touched or brushed too much.
When it comes to looking after fine hair, I advocate that less is more. That means less heat, less product, less touching the hair and less fuss for more volume. Follow my expert tips for looking after fine hair. Reduce fly aways, add volume and get your hair looking and feeling fabulous.

Styling a bob for volume is a good alternative to the sleek bob. It gives you an alternative look and its more finished than the textured bob. I love it when a haircut gives more than one option for styling. Bob haircuts are the perfect base for multiple styles and styling a bob with volume is a simple technique of gentle back-brushing.
Hairstyles for fine hair work best when there is texture and movement in the hair. Well cut and balanced hairstyles are easier to style at home and generally hold the style better. But that’s not the whole story. Mid length and longer hairstyles can work just as well for fine hair but, when choosing the best haircut, I urge you to consider your hair’s growth pattern.

I write about all aspects of healthy, shiny hair. From preventing frizzy hair to stopping split ends and styling bob hairstyles I share my experience of how to get the best from hair.
Whether I’m working with hair, writing about hair or developing hair care products I stay true to 3 principles.
This is a principle I have adhered to all my hairdressing career and it gets the best results. I like to minimise the heat stress to hair from heated styling tools and take a simpler approach to styling. Over working the hair can leave it dry, damaged and flat. A simple approach is the best way to add volume to hair and keep hair looking and feeling smooth and shiny.
Moisture is the foundation of good hair care. Hair needs a routine of deep conditioning to stay frizz free and retain flexibility and strength. When it has moisture, hair elasticity is maintained, making hair easier to style.
Holistic in the context of hair care is about making sure we eat a healthy, balanced diet and that we feed our hair with nourishing products. Maintaining hydration in the body contributes to good quality hair growth. Using nourishing hair products ensures our hair can retain moisture.
You’ll see these principles threaded through my blogs. My goal is to share the simplest tools and techniques to give you easy ways to care for and style your hair at home.
