Though you may see them as a retro product, hot rollers could be your secret weapon to achieving a curl in your hair. They seem difficult to navigate at first, but just select the roller that corresponds to the coil size you crave. Once you've put them in your hair, leave them in until they're cool to the touch.
"The more gradual cooling of a hot roller allows hair to really form to that curl texture to hold it," Strahan explained. If you're insistent on using your iron or wand, go for it, but Strahan advises you use roller clips or pins to hold the ringlet in place as it cools. Doing so will ensure it sets in the desired shape instead of stretches out.
