Hi,I have thin hair, reasonably long (at my shoulder blades), and it does have some wave to it in the back. Recently, I started experimenting with hot rollers to add volume and curl/wave to my hair. It looked great at first, and it even stayed in for a day or two. Now, I am down to not having any wave at all when I take out the hot rollers. I am using a gel - Biotine/for fine hair- on my hair before I roll it up. I can not use any of the salon hair products because my partner is allergic to them. I read that steam hot rollers are good, give a good holding curl. Does anyone know about that? If so, how easy are they to use (does it take a lot of time?) and where are they available. Any suggestions on how to use the hot rollers are welcome.Thanks,Ilse

Hello, Ilse...As far as the hot rollers: These can be very damaging to fine hair, especially when used every day. If they have stopped curling your hair, I would guess that 1) you have build-up from the gel that is weighing your hair down, or 2)you are not leaving them in as long as you were. (They should be cool before you remove them for the firmest curl.)I cannot recommend steam rollers enough. They are relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and FAST. They also make fine hair look bulkier because they infuse it with moisture. (On some people this has a slight darkening effect that is temporary.) Oh....did I mention that they are MUCH gentler to the hair? You can buy a set at many drugstores (Walgreen's has them) or Sally's Beauty Supply.Ally
