Well, I had my little fling with them; good hints but for me everything fell flat within a few minutes. Now they are returned to the linen closet. Even though thinning, my hair is still thick but fine. Really, especially after a shampoo, the less I do with it the better.
For me the best body boosters have been baby powder rubbed into the roots, (cornstarch, not talc) and some of that uber cheap Suave dry shampoo. I would not put either on the ends. Actually I treat my hair totally different from roots to about chin length and then another regimen for the length.
I recently read about rubbing witch hazel into the roots but have not tried it yet...
I do, I can get a great set from them. Have been able to get 3 days out of a set before, and the curl/body was still going strong but the hair needed washing.
I'm not as find of curling irons; they take too long. I like rolling my hair then having real fast or doing my makeup while the hair sets.

Agree that electric rollers are so much faster than a curling iron. Sure wish I could get 3 days out of a set. In our humidity, I barely get an hour.
My hair is straight, thinning, and just a bit more than chin length right now (it was shoulder length but yesterday I watched a cut-your-own-hair video on YouTube). I'm using extra large hot rollers I bought last spring. I bought 2 sets of 5 rollers each. And I ordered from Conair the XL wire type pins. I put cotton or foam pads under the rollers that are too hot on my scalp. Sleeping all night on rollers gives my hair a longer lasting set but are uncomfortable and tend to slip out so I'm using hot rollers more regularly. The hot roller set lasts only a couple hours but at least the hair retains some shape.
I live in hot, humid, Houston and I use hot rollers. The trick is prepping your hair. Wash hair the day before. Spray hair before using or use a gel or mousse. Let it dry and brush through. Heat rollers all the way and then roll your whole head. Then let them cool down ALL the way. Sit under a ceiling fan if you need to. Then unroll the hair and leave it alone . Spray again and then style.
My hair is what you might call bra back length. For the last several years I have been straightening it with a flatiron- not with chemicals. I let it dry naturally but it is starting to look fried to me.
Also, as I am getting older, the stick straight look is starting to look more severe than I like (maybe?).
Not only severe, but the thinning- OMG.
Two questions:
Does anyone take saw palmetto to increase hair thickness?
Does anyone still use hot rollers?
I've been pulling out everything from my closet and have Conair "velvet" hot rollers.
Any thoughts, comments?
I am in your age bracket. To answer your questions. No, I don't take saw palmetto either in herb or tablet form. No I have never used hot rollers.
My hair is naturally straight and I just use my G3 Salon Pro, it takes all of 7 mins to curl my head of hair, run my fingers through and my hair is set for the day. I couldn't face having to put rollers in and then sit & wait for them to cool down, I'm too impatient.
I use hot rollers all the time . I just love voluminous hairstyle. I have thin and fine hair so it help a lot. The last one I got was and old one which is lady schick lasting curls but unfortunately there are a piece missing there was suppose to be a container to put water in it as this set is a steam hot roller.
Which kind of hot rollers do you use? ☺
