Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!> Thanks!Good questions. If the rollers say not to use hairspray, I would guess it might effect the surface of the rollers, so I would follow their advice. When to best use hotrollers? Just after washing the hair after it has dried. Using hot rollers or curling irons works better with the greature moisture and pliability that freshly washed hair has. If you like to wash at night, then curl next day, I would recommend a "molecular" style hairsetter (those steam,foam roller types) To make setting easy, start with the roller several inches from ends. Wrap ends around, then continue up toward head. If you try to start at the ends, you may end up frustrated trying to keep the ends smooth. Don't brush the hair out, shake and finger comb, instead.

Instead of using the Hot Rollers by Revlon you should really look into purchasing some Caruso Steam Set Rollers. They do not wear and tear your hair like hot rollers do. You don't need hairspray or anything. I have long hair and for years I have been looking for rollers that would hold my hair and keep the curls in. I finally used the Caruso Rollers and they work so good. No hairspray, not hot metal burning your hair, no causing split ends. It is really worth the investment. They are not that expensive. They sell this product at Walmart and I think Super-Kmart. You really should try these first before frying your hair.
