Benefits of Using Hot Roller for Fine Hair

The hot rollers have been in practice for a long time and are still popular. This fantastic tool has become favorite to people due to their quick styling time and beautiful looking curls as an outcome.

I have fine and straight hair, but I like to curl them a lot. My hair is thin also. One question that I often get is how I get such perfect curls on my hair type. So, today I thought of exposing my secret behind it- it’s my favorite hot rollers.

People with fine hair are always tensed while styling their hair as fine hair tends to be a little challenging to put on different styles. Sometimes, it’s termed as curl-resistant hair also because it cannot hold curls for a long time. However, with the perfect tools and styling products, one can turn fine, straight strands into beautiful curls which last the whole day. According to my experience, hot rollers were more effective in creating curls in fine hair than curling irons and wands.

So, if you have fine hair and want to have eye-catching curls with less harm to hair, check out the benefits of hot rollers in the following section.

7 Inevitable Benefits of Hot Rollers

Benefit No. 1 – You get beautiful curls in less time than other curling appliances

Fine hair tends to set the hot roller curls quickly as the strands are thin and the rollers can break the hydrogen bonds in those strands fast. So, all my fine hair girls! Get some bucks in your purses and go buy a set of hot rollers because you’re no longer away from getting pretty curls.

Quick tip:

1. To get the result even quicker than regular time, section your hair into thin strands. The thinner the strand for each roller, the faster the curl sets.
2. Blow-dry your hair at least 90% before setting the hot rollers in your hair. The heat from the rollers will dry the rest of your hair when the style sets.
3. If you have time and let the rollers sit in your hair for a good 30 minutes, your curls will be stronger than ever.

So, hot rollers are useful to office-going beauties or those with busy schedules. I’m not saying they’re not beneficial for other people, but they’re definitely a go-to styling aid for the busy ones.

Benefit No. 2 – You don’t get petty burns you used to get from irons or curling wands

I don’t think I need to explain this point. Women who’ve used curling or straightening irons and wands even for once in their lives, know very well that while using these tools one can burn fingers, neck, or cheeks if not being careful. There’s zero chance of getting such burns when you opt for hot rollers.

I remember whenever I used my curling wand I’d always hold it much far from my face and neck so that I don’t burn my cheeks. As a consequence, the hair roots and the areas adjacent to my face would have loose curls rather than the textured ones I want. The hot rollers use a lot less heat than curling appliances. So, there’s no fear of burning the fingertips when you set them in your hair.

Sometimes, hair strands also get burnt when you use too much heat on such thin strands. So, you see, as fine hair means the thinnest of hair strands, they’re much prone to get burnt due to excess heat. So, for fine hair, hot rollers are especially favorable.

Now, if you want to avoid these frequent skin burns, you should use hot rollers.

Benefit No. 3 – Less heat means less hair damage

Fine hair is naturally more likely to suffer heat damages than all other hair types. So, it’s advisable that you be gentle on applying heat if you have fine hair.

Hot rollers use the least amount of heat among all other hair curling tools. Therefore, they cause less damage to hair.

Benefit No. 4 – Hot rollers don’t cost you a fortune

The best hot rollers for fine hair will never get you bankrupt. If you have a couple of bucks in your pocket, you can go to the nearest drugstore to have your first set of hot rollers without the fear of running out of money. These sets are budget-friendly.

If you search the marketplaces, you’ll see lots of suggestions and a long list of products. You may also notice that the price range is much reasonable.

Of course, there are some brands which have high-end rollers that cost hundreds of bucks, but you don’t need them in the beginning. Start by experimenting with the cheap ones, and once you master the techniques, you can decide whether you need the expensive ones or not.

Benefit No. 5 – The curls are long lasting

Here’s a little exception for fine hair. For fine hair, using a volumizing spray while setting the rollers and a texturizing spray after removing them work best.

There are various types of hot rollers of which some are well known for creating lasting curls. There are wax rollers which use a specific kind of wax suitable for hair so that it can hold the curls throughout the day.

Benefit No. 6: Hot rollers ensure extra volume on fine hair

We, fine haired ladies try our heart and soul to add body to our hair, to make them not go flat on the head. It’s so difficult to add volume to fine hair, ain’t it?

But wait, where’s your magic roller set? Yeah, I’m talking about the hot rollers. I tell you they give you more volume than all other curling tools. Wanna know why? It’s because it works closer to your hair tips than the other gadgets. Due to its close-to-the-hair-roots workstation, it works more effectively to boost volume.

My hair is thin, and it used to be difficult for me too to make my hair look voluminous. However, when I met the lovely hot rollers and used them, I could tell the difference from the very first use. My current go-to secret recipe for most days which is no longer a secret I guess is mixing a little mousse and volumizing spray/gel before setting the hot rollers.

So, bid farewell to no-volume hair days. Now, you can catch everyone’s attention like me because you know my secret and I’m confident that you all can master it.

Benefit No. 7: Hot rollers give you the freedom to do other works with it on

Some rollers give you the freedom of sleeping with them on without causing any damage to your hair.

Some quick tips I cannot resist myself from sharing

1. Always dry your hair up to 90% and not more than that before using the hot rollers.
2. Use volume-adding shampoos, conditioners, mousses, sprays, etc. to make your fine hair voluminous.
3. Never forget to finish the styling with a setting spray.
4. The rollers need a little getting used to. So, you can practice doing your hair with them a couple of times before you go for actual styling with them.
