I was just wondering what your thoughts were on velcro rollers/how to use them. Thanks so much, you truly are an inspiration!

@rathami ugh...hate those things. I had to cut my hair one time because one got tangled in it. :-/ That said, Lauren Rennells uses them a lot and seems to like them. I dunno...maybe it's just my hair. :)

Hi Lisa. With the hot rollers the first one u used does your hair need to be dry or damp same with the foam rollers?? I'm really new to this coz my hair can never hold a curl. And do u need to sleep with them over night or is there a way to have them ready same

Day???

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@kfrivera1985 Dry...with heated tools, it's best to have completely dry hair and just to spray it with a heat protectant before rolling. The wet sets don't have to be slept in overnight...You can roll them in the morning and let them set over the course of the day or you can sit under a heated dryer. A hand held dryer would be too diffficult and too harsh.

Do you have experience with brush rollers and their result and authenticness? What type of curl does it make?

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@avanhalem i have never used them really...:-/

I love all your hair style videos but as my hair is so think and long I never know which type of rollers I should use before hand. Would a certain type work better?

Thank you for doing these videos though! You have given me the confidence to try all the different styles and help me bring out my love of anything vintage!
