HAVE you ever left rollers in your hair for hours on end only to take them out and see no difference?
To maximise the volume of your locks, keep an eye out for a small detail.
In his viral video, TikTok user Matt (@mattloveshair) shared his haircare expertise with his followers.
The professional revealed that a minor difference in rollers may be the key to your curl success.
Matt explained that Velcro rollers with a plastic inner tube are designed to help maintain your hair’s styling.
You can pick up a 24 pack of plastic hair rollers for £10.23 from Amazon.
“These are great for preserving a style you already did to your hair, if you blow dried your hair, you made it perfect, and then you just want to preserve that,” he said.
These don’t require heat as they are used to keep your hair in the shape it is already in rather than re-shaping it.
However, if you’re hoping to add volume to your hair with the rollers, you should look for a different detail.
According to Matt, Velcro rollers with an inner metal tube are the best for tackling flat locks.
The TikToker explained the science behind how the metal rollers work.
“When you add heat from the blow dryer, you can actually create more style, you can add curve, you can add lift,” he said.
You can pick up an eight-pack of thermal rollers with a metal element for £9.83 from Amazon.
Matt demonstrated the technique for his online audience, adding a metal roller to the front of his hair.
