How do I use velcro rollers?
If you choose to use velcro or magnetic rollers you'll need to section damp hair into sections that are approximately the same length and width as each roller. Comb the section very straight and smooth and straight out at a 90-degree angle. Then, carefully place the roller at the end of the hair section, and, making sure to tuck the ends under neatly, roll the roller toward the scalp. Velcro rollers will stick without the use of a clip to secure the roller.

If you use velcro or magnetic rollers, you will then have to dry the hair completely before removing the rollers. If you air dry your hair on the rollers, it will likely take several hours. A hair drier or hood drier can also be used to speed drying time.

Hot rollers can be placed in a similar fashion, but on dry hair. If you use hot rollers, let them set in the hair for a minimum of 20 minutes to ensure that they cool completely before taking them out.
