Ever keen to expand my roller knowledge (and a big fan of the pre-bed doomscroll), I recently found myself deep in the heated roller area of TikTok.

Primarily a space for users to extol the benefits of heated rollers, I couldn’t believe the volume they achieved in their hair in relatively short periods of time. Their hair was left bouncy, buoyant and seemingly immune to gravity’s downwards pull.

An alternative to using curlers or needing a PhD in the perfect salon blow dry, heated rollers are easy to use. Similar in shape to velcro rollers, heated rollers are able to mould the hair more efficiently. However, they are a heated tool, which means excess use (or not using a heat protectant) could cause undue damage to the hair.
