Does Sleeping In Rollers Leave Your Hair Curly?

Question

My hair is very long. If I slept in rollers for 8 hours, would my hair come out curly the next day? Would the curls stay in and be defined all day long?

Answer 1

I did this for picture day once. And yes, the curlers helped my hair stay very curly all day. Everyone LOVED my hair! But I must say, it was quite uncomfortable.:(

Answer 2

Big rollers probably not. You'd have to use those really small tight rollers. I have really long super straight hair and I did this once. My hair did not stay curly for the entire day but then again maybe I didn't put the proper product on to keep it curly all day long.
I would say try it once and make sure you spray it while rolling your hair.

Answer 3

Yes, so long as you don't put in the rollers while your hair is soaking wet & you don't overload the rollers so the hair has enough time to dry completely.

Frankly, it's a pain in the neck - literally. Plus, sometimes the rollers would get pushed an tear my hair. I hated sleeping w/ rollers.

Consider hot rollers instead.

Answer 4

It depends on how slippery your hair is. Goody makes small cloth covered wire & foam rollers that will probably work for you. I use them sometimes and they work great, but I have a bit of natural wave in my hair.
I use them on my friends daughter and it last only half the day because her hair is so straight & doesn't hold curl.

Everyone's hair is different. You will just have to try them and see how your hair does with them.
The following is a link to show you what they look like. I think I purchased mine at Target.

Answer 5

yes! they last much longer then using a curling iron- just make sure that you roll then and don't leave the ends pinched or you will have a kink at the end instead of a curl! I do mine that way and the curls last all day! Throw a little conditioner on before you roll if your prone to frizzies, or mousse if your hair is prone not holding a curl.
Rolling in one straight roll with give you LOTS of wave- rolling in a long spiral will give you- SPIRALS! LOL
Have fun with it!

Answer 6

take a shower at night and then french braid your hair. If your hair doesn't hold curl well (you'll know this after experimenting a couple times) try putting some gel in it before you b raid it. Two braids will give you tighter curls than just one. When you wake up, un-braid your hair and comb it out gently, preferably with a pick or wet-hair comb (one with big teeth spread far apart). I do this all the time and it works great.

Answer 7

I used the small, tight rollers for picture day and it was uncomfortable at night but it did curl my hair and it's cheaper and takes less time. But make sure to add hairspray to hold hair all day and to control frizz. Good Luck :]

Answer 8

yes it works greatttt. if you add some mousse afterwards it'll be perfect. and hairspray, too, although i'm not too fond of its stickiness. best used when your hair is almost dry (still a bit damp) and be sure to roll it in tightly. i know because my hair was very long (a little past my hips) until i decided to cut it up to my shoulders =/ the downside is that it's kinda hard to sleep w/ rollers; it's so uncomfortable! yet i still do it.

Answer 9

Yes and yes. It is better on your hair (and cheaper) to use rollers than a curling iron. It also stays better.

Answer 10

Yes, roll your hair while damp (not soaking). And maybe
spray on holding spray in the morning before unrolling.

You can also use setting lotion to roll your hair.
