My favorite way to get bouncy, Airwrap waves without an Airwrap? Hot rollers, bb. The old-school hair standby is low-key it for getting major volume, because your hair heats up and cools around the roller, giving you a defined, long-lasting curl that isn’t easy to replicate with the Airwrap. Here’s how I do it: I take a one-inch section of dry hair, wrap the ends under the roller, then roll it up vertically toward the crown of my head and pin it in place with the included sectioning clips. I repeat this around my entire head, keeping the wider rollers on the top sections of my hair for extra volume, and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Then, I gently take them down one by one in the order I pinned them up, finger-comb them, and spritz with hairspray for hold.
THE REVIEWS: “These work great, and they’re very gentle on my hair and give me bouncy, wavy-style curls with volume,” writes one tester. “They are so easy to use, and once you get the hang of rolling them, they only take a few minutes to put in and you’re free to go around and get clothes ready, put on make-up, get kids ready, etc.”
