In its viral videoTikTok user Matt (@mattloveshair) shared his hair care expertise with his followers.
The pro revealed that a slight difference in rollers can be the key to curling success.
Matt explained that Velcro rollers with a plastic inner tube are designed to help maintain the styling of your hair.
You can buy a pack of 24 plastic hair rollers for £10.23 from Amazon.
“These are great for maintaining a style you’ve already done with your hair. When you blow-dry your hair, you’ve made it perfect, and then you just want to keep that,” he said.
These do not require any heat as they are used to keep your hair in the shape it is already in, rather than reshaping it.
However, if you want to add volume to your hair with the rollers, you will have to look for another detail.
According to Matt, Velcro rollers with a metal inner tube are best for tackling flat locks.
The TikToker explained the science behind how the metal rollers work.
“If you add the heat of the blow dryer, you can actually create more style, you can add roundness, you can add lift,” he said.
You can buy a pack of eight thermal rollers with a metal element for £9.83 from Amazon.
Matt demonstrated the technique for his online audience by adding a metal roller to the front of his hair.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the advice in the comments section.
“I learned a lot from you. I love your content!!” wrote one impressed viewer.
Hairstyles that are kind to your locks
- Loose braids: Opt for loose, soft braids instead of tight braids to minimize tension on the scalp and reduce breakage.
- Low ponytail: A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to prevent snagging.
- Messy sandwich: A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Don’t pull your hair too tight and use soft hair elastics.
- Soft waves: Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools.
- Half up, half down: This hairstyle involves pulling back some of the hair while leaving the rest loose, reducing pressure on your scalp.
- Headbands and scarves: Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable.
- Loose braids for sleeping: Loosely braid your hair before going to bed to prevent tangles and breakage during the night.
