Use Heated Rag Rollers

Heated rag rollers are similar to traditional bendable rollers.

Heated rag rollers offer the convenience of bendable hot rollers with the gentle curls of rag rolling. Traditional rag rolling involved 10 inch strips of cloth folded in half. The hair was wrapped around the rag, tied off, and slept in overnight to get a curl. The new Remington Heated Rag Rollers, currently the only heated form on the market, consist of 16 fabric covered bendable rollers in a portable heating case. This allows you to heat the rollers before using them giving you a new curly look in 30 minutes instead of the next day.

Instructions

1. Unzip the case and unwind the electrical cord from its holder.

2. Plug the case into an outlet and re-zip the case. Allow the rollers to warm for 15 minutes.

3. Begin sectioning your hair into bangs, crown, sides and back. Use hair clips to grab and hold each section.

4. Unclip one section to begin rolling your hair. Work from the top of your head down.

5. Divide out a strip of hair about one inch wide if you want a defined curl or larger if you just want a wave.

6. Place the curler at the end of your hair and neatly tuck the ends around the roller to prevent crimping. For volume or gentle waves, hold the roller perpendicular to your head and wrap hair over itself in a neat loop. To create spiral curls wrap hair holding the roller parallel to your head and wrap hair from top to bottom of the roller like a candy cane.

7. Rotate the roller until all the hair is wrapped and the roller is tight against the scalp.

8. Bend the ends toward each other to secure the roller. This may take some practice to get an orientation that keeps the roller tight to your scalp.

9. Unplug the heated rag roller case and allow it to begin cooling.

10. Allow rods to cool naturally. This could take up to 15 minutes. If you are in a hurry, you can use the cool setting on your hair dryer to speed the process.

11. Unroll hair working from the bottom up. Do not pull the hair as you unwrap but allow it to fall out naturally.

12. Place rag rollers back in the case and wind the electrical cord around the holder in the middle of the case. Zip the case and store.

13. Style your hair as desired.
