I purchased Strawllers a little over a year ago (as a permie) because I wanted to have an alternative to using the less expensive way to put spiral curls in my hair-which is using regular drinking straws or using heat.
I came across Strawllers after doing a Google search for straw rollers and magically appears these rollers! I was so excited to get them. I browsed through the entire site and made my purchase. I couldn't wait for the package to arrived. I got it within a matter of days. Now I had experience with regular sized rollers but was a little challenged by the actual length of the Strawller.
One problem I encountered was the fact that I have thick hair and I didn't purchase enough when I thought I did. Problem two was I made due with what I did had, strategically rolling my hair to where I could use a curling iron for some missed spots. Problem three...you cannot sleep in them. Now regular rollers you can, though a tad bit uncomfortable you can manage. These rollers although a great invention works best in a salon setting and rolled by a stylist. Now if you purchase a lot of them you can probably get your girlfriend to roll your hair and you have to sit under a dryer or be stuck with them for a day until your hair dries.
These aren't flexible either like FlexiRods. While the concept is cool the application resigns you to walking around with these "straight" rollers that can be a little uncomfortable or a nice long visit to the salon. The up side is the style can give your hair a break whether you're a permie or natural. You can have the curls as small and tight as you'd like or as loose as you like. They are relatively affordable but if you have a ton of hair...you might want to suggest to your stylist to order these for the salon you frequent. *TING*
While these aren't completely user-friendly for the average Glow Girl, unless you're one heck of a roller. However in the right hands, your hair can look fabulous. My honest option, drinking straws are the easiest way to go. They're flexible, plentiful and inexpensive. Unless they develop a way for the roller to be a little more flexible-leave Strawllers to a trained professional.

Its funny you did this post because I was JUST thinking about getting a straw set, but I have a lot of hair and I can't imagine doing these myself. And I'm almost sure the salon is gonna charge me an arm & a leg to do these but I think its worth it, especially if they last. I'm gonna try it out really soon! ( at the hands of a professional of course) LOL!

ReplyDeleteNo ma'am. In that pic I actually used sponge rollers...it creates the same effect like the Strawllers but not as smooth.
