    Has anyone tried these rollers? If so are they any good?

    I am trying to cut down on my ghd usage and hope these may do the trick! I am picking my set up tomorrow.

    Haven't tried those, I'd imagine the smaller the rollers the more comfortable. Maybe try using rags in your hair, it would probably be easier to sleep in.

    I came in hammered from a night out last year and put my babyliss heated rollers in and slept. Would not recommend :pac:

    They are not really for curling they are for smoothness/volume. They are all spongy and not heated! Basically I am trying to cut down the use of my ghd and thought I may get the same results!

    Tan11 I collected them on yesterday. There are only available from 2 places in Ireland supposedly Halo hairdressers and Karl Roberts hairdressers €22.50 for 20. They are brill! I only used ghds on the front of my hair today as I rolled in different directions!! I have very thick hair and was worried that I would need more than 20 but I actually only needed 19. I am going to put them
    In my hair in tomorrow morning and just blast with hair dryer for a few mins and see if I still get same effect! I am trying to not use ghds everyday and I reckon they will do the trick!

    How did you get on?

    My hair is very thick and just below my shoulders in length, do you think one pack is enough?

    If they're good ill invest as the curling tong isn't doing the job, my hair is straight within minutes of curling it!


    Let us know if they're worth the spend :)

    You get two packs for €22.50 (20 rollers in total). I think 20 is enough if not boots sell 6 for around €7. If you want a curl your hair needs to be damp I think. Have you checked out the YouTube video of the sleep in rollers. Her hair seems thick too. I am not using them for curls, I want smoothness, body and more of a flick without the damage from heat. Day two and I am very happy still used ghds on front but that's it! Well worth the money!

    €20 including free p&p.

    She loves them.

    I got them a few weeks ago, absolutely love them, gives me loads of volume and slight curl at the ends(I have long hair). Wore them twice overnight and they were hard go get used to at first but I slept comfortably.

    Search for hollie wakeham pampur lounge on YouTube she has lots of brilliant how to videos on it!

    Ps I have long thick hair and only used one bag (which has 2 sets of rollers in it prob about 20 rollers altogether)

    Just bought them from a hair extension place in Grafton Buildings on South Anne Street- 21.99.

    Do NOT buy them from http://www.velcrosleeprollers.com/

    I ordered them from that site originally and was told they deliver within 3-5 working days. 6 weeks later I was still waiting, and all my contact with customer service (emails) had been ignored. Eventually complained on Twitter and they rang me. They were sooooo ignorant and patronising on the phone and not willing to admit the fault was with them. He was very rude about his Irish customers, so I had to just get a refund.

    Delighted I found them somewhere else! :)
