Why are you looking for Velcro rollers in particular? I've never actually tried them, but I can only imagine they'd be damaging to hair. If you wrapped my hair around Velcro, you'd never get it out!
Have you thought about soft rollers? Goody makes some cheap white cloth rollers with foam inside. There's a wire in the center and once you've wound your hair around it, you simply fold it closed.
Or as I've recommended before on this board, I really like the Wrap Snap and Go rollers. :)

No, velcro rollers are not damaging to your hair. They are the "soft" side of velcro, not the teeth side.
I personally like "Jet Sets" the best. But it is all about what you like. They are sold at Sally's. They sell other kinds of velcro rollers too.
Go by there and check them out!!!

I use all different kinds but the ones I like the best have metal interiors that heat up a bit if you blast your hair with the dryer. They seem to give a bit more lift. Other than that one is just as good as another.

A couple of tips if you have never used velcro rollers before:
1) The velcro roller should be used like a brush to smooth the section that it will be placed in. If you are looking for a flip, roll the roller at a 45 degree angle to the head ( 90 degrees would be straight out from the head so half lower than that).
2) When you are ready to remove the velcro rollers YOU MUST ROLL THEM OUT IN THE SAME DIRECTION YOU ROLLED THEM IN - DO NOT SLIDE THEM OUT LIKE YOU DO WITH OTHER ROLLERS. That is the common mistake people of who've tangled in velcro ran into.
3) I like putting mousse or volume spray on DRY hair - then wrapping them on the velcro rollers and hitting them with a hot blowdryer for 2 minutes, then allow them to cool for a minute before releasing them and finger combing the curls into place. Then hit them with a final shot of spray to hold them.
