We don't know about you, but for us, if we're having a good hair day, it feels like nothing can stop us. It doesn't matter if the look took us hours to achieve or just a few minutes; there's nothing better than a G.H.D. (good hair day).

We love a beachy look done with a curling iron, a fun blowout styled with a blowdryer brush, or even a simple air-dried look that's been made more cohesive with the help of some no-heat hair hacks. However, the days when our hair looks like it belongs to a supermodel and didn't take us longer than twenty minutes to achieve are the days we're most excited. On those days, we almost always used hot rollers.

Hot rollers are great because you can pop them in and multitask. Whether you need to finish your makeup, fire off a work email, or finish cleaning the house before guests come over, they essentially do all the hard work for you, and you don't have to lift a finger. The hair tool has been around forever, but they recently had a resurgence in popularity thanks to hot roller content on TikTok. Not only will they give your hair tons of volume, but the curls they produce will last for hours as well.

There are plenty of different options on the market, and ahead, we're breaking down the best options out there. Whether you're looking for the best hot rollers for long hair or the best hot rollers for damaged hair, we've got you covered. Keep scrolling to check out all of our picks.

Best Hot Rollers For Fine Hair

Caruso Molecular Steam Hairsetter Hot Rollers ($50)

These hot rollers are a little different than your typical set because they use steam to get hot. You have to heat each one up individually, but they're great for fine hair because they're lightweight and don't require clips to keep them in place.
