Hello and welcome to ‘Just the tip Tuesday’ – the blog series where I make inappropriate references that force my mom to call and question my upbringing. And sometimes I give you a mediocre tip about running, eating or other. You’re welcome.
Today’s Just the Tip is about hair. On your head.
In my January Favorites vlog I said I loved my Remington Travel Hot Rollers. They work even though I have TONS of straight hair!
Soooo, a bunch of readers asked me, “how do you sleep at night knowing your blog is so random?”.
On a happier note others asked, “how do use the hot rollers?”
So super last minute I made this video – Hot Rollers Tutorial.
I’m using the Remington Travel Rollers.
Question: How’d you do your hair today?
you rock. that is all.
Love the blog, so my biggest mistake (so far) of 2013 is getting bangs cut into my hair after 20 years of NOT having bangs…WTF was I thinking. I had no idea how to fix them. I did indeed watch a you tube video on how to fix my bangs, I’m still not loving them, but at least I can get them to swoop over now!! 🙂
In keeping with the randomness of the blog, will you do an eye makeup tutorial?
Not to sound extremely stupid but do you just plug the case in to heat them up? I just didn’t see a cord in your video and didn’t see one online. Just curious. I used to use hot rollers in high school (I feel old) but haven’t used them in a LOOOOOONG time and like you said with long hair it takes FOR-EVER to curl your hair. Loved the video, you were cracking me up!
You have beautiful and amazing hair. My hair is super wimpy; fine & straight. Although when I let it air dry it gets a little bit of a crazy wave going. I’ve finally convinced the girl that does my hair to stop curling it because the minute I’d walk to my car…the curl was gone. Seriously! Typically I’ll use a flat iron to get rid of the fly-aways.
So I have a tip for you. Maybe you will care, maybe not, oh well. 🙂 If you take Biotin (a vitamin supplement) your hair grows faster and is healthier. I love your blog! You are amazing! And your running times are Awesome!!!
Thanks!
Lol. Love the tutorial!! I am a curling iron girl but you kind of made me want rollers! I have to go to Walmart tomorrow and have a feeling I’ll be stuck in the hair roller aisle thinking about it. Ha ha.
I’ve never tried curlers. My hair is straight and fine but I kinda wanna give these a whirl. Also I love your inappropriate just the tip’s. cracks me up everytime!
Nice curls! I used my super fancy Blowout Beauty blowdryer and flat iron that I won from Skinny Runner and my short little bob is perfectly straight, shinny and soft. Love that stuff!
“Today’s Just the Tip is about hair. On your head.”
Hahahah I love that you felt you needed to really clarify that.
Awesome.
Ha! I was wondering if anyone would catch that 🙂
LOVE IT! my hair is very similar to yours and curling is such a pain! I’m going to have to try this out. Thanks for the tip!
love love love it! also i just read yesterdays your post on valentines chocolate and i say the same thing to my dad EVERY YEAR haha unfortunately he actually listens. boo. 🙁
FOR-EV-ERRR! I definitely caught that reference.
Thank you for posting! I bought some rollers a long time ago and I think I threw them away because I didn’t know what I was doing?! Eh. But those travel rollers don’t look so intimidating. I don’t understand how girls curl their hair with a curling iron, it takes me way too long and I get impatient. I will attempt the rollers though!
My hair is in the boringest pony tail known to life today… but I threw on a headband to spice it up. Slept through the alarm… no time for primping!
oh, and now I *need* those curlers!
I’ve not done a thing with my hair yet. It’s piled in a high ponytail thing with pieces hanging out from sleeping like this. It’s hawt.
Love the video, I have super long thick hair and this works! I love curling my hair and seeing how massive I can get it.
I used a curling iron. I used to work with hot rollers but find it is just as quick to use the curling iron.

I have super thin, straight, long hair. I usually either just wear it straight, but sometimes I use an awesome style found on cutegirlhairstyles : Cocoon Curls | Easy No-Heat Curls | Cute Girls Hairstyles . It is awesome! I can put them in my hair after a quick dry in the morning, and take them out when I get to work. Then I have super curly hair all day! Love this style. Thanks for sharing your ideas – you’re the best!
You have gorgeous hair!!! (I’m a bit, actually a lot jealous.)
My hair is short, but I’m currently growing it out so it is just plain bad!!!
On the few occasions when I have longish hair (I always grow it out after a few years then go back short), I like hot rollers.
Love the random hair blog!!!
I’m more of a curling iron kind of girl. My hair seems to stay perfectly that way, but is straight in ten minutes if I use rollers. Strange! My hair was curly today, left over from yesterday.
I have the same rollers – they make my hair super curly…so much so that my b-f says I have “pageant hair” when I use those. Lately I’m sticking to larger rollers to just smooth out my natural wavy hair.
Like you, I have super straight hair. I’ve given up trying to style it so cut it in to a bob with bangs a la Anna Wntour. It always looks neat but can get boring!
So pretty dahling!!
I’m slightly in love with your sweater. In a non-creepy way…
My hair refuses to curl. I don’t even own a curling iron any more because even on the hottest setting with hair spray and lots of verbal encouragement, my hair will not hold a curl. Maybe I’ll give the rollers a shot. 🙂
Target 🙂
This was such a great post! You have the same type of hair I do and almost the same length so I found tihs really useful. I was skeptical at first that 10 rollers would be enough, but you have convinced me!
I have the same type of hair you do so maybe I’ll try these. I usually wash my hair and let it air dry and then flat iron out the ONE random wave in it (the rest is perfectly straight). Curling my whole head with a curling iron would take about 45 minutes. Maybe I’m just challenged, but I do have a lot of hair. Last time I tried rollers I couldn’t get the hang of it but you’ve inspired me to try again because it looks so pretty!
Super cute! When I want to go curly I use my Hot Tools wand, which I’m totally in love with (despite looking like an idiot wearing the glove that goes with it). Today I’m rocking a lazy sock bun, though.
I got that for my mom for Christmas and she didn’t like it at all. Not feeling the glove.
Your hair looks so pretty! I actually have naturally curly hair, so I have the opposite goal…how to get it straight! Although I got sick of spending 20 minutes blow drying and using the flat iron every day so not I just rock the curls 🙂 But you look gorgeous as always!
Hey b – if you can fit these into your bag for NOLA, do it! My hair doesn’t usually hold a curl, and I’m wondering if these will do anything or not and I don’t want to waste my money… k thx. 😉
word up. I’m bringing them.
Your makeup looks fab girl! Love this tutorial, makes me want to get these curlers…even though I have curly hair?
I have the same hot rollers, only they’re like 15 years old. They still work, so I don’t have any complaints. Today I did a lot of working out so I didn’t really style my hair, just washed it and let it air dry since I’m just going to pull it into a pony tail and head to yoga tomorrow morning.
That was soooo quick. I have a hot curling iron that takes FOR-EV-ER to do my entire head. I may just have to buy these. Although I am blessed with curly hair, unless its tamed with an curling iron, its a whole lot of hot mess on my head.
Um, can I just say that you are looking extra fabulous lately? I might need to invest in those hot rollers for my uber straight hair.
my hair was a big fat mess of a bun today. with spikes in all directions. i am so proud.
A big ol’ poof in a high ponytail. The higher the hair the closer to God! 🙂
Love your tips!!! “You know how hairspray works….” haha!
I have a lot of really long curly hair, which is a blessing because it’s wash and go. I have no patience for hours of “getting ready”. I do occasionally blow it out and curl it, so I will keep your hot rollers in mind next time I want to get all fancy! 🙂
This summer I started braiding my wet hair into two french braids and sleeping on it (Laura Ingalls style). Then I’d take it down after it was completely dry and have a mass of glorious waves! It takes mine forever to dry that way, but its so worth the no-fuss ‘do.
Didn’t you mention that you bought the InStyle curlers? How do those work in comparison to these?
Thanks for the video! You crack me up! I’m sure it’s weird to talk to yourself when shooting a video! I’m going to have to try those rollers. Your hair looks so pretty! Enough exclamations!!!! Ok I’m done.
You are so friggin’ cute!! “You know how hairspray works… press this button!” hahahahaha
Thanks for the tutorial – I have lots of crazy red hair too. I bought hot rollers years ago but have never had the patience to try to figure them out. This ALMOST has me ready to to give them a try!!
I’m so glad you posted this video! I actually went out and bought those rollers because I have also been plagued with a lifetime of tons of straight hair that just won’t curl and I was convinced by your testimonial. I’ve tried them a couple times and had some pretty good success. 🙂 I’m glad to finally be able to do something different with my hair!
I don’t ever do my hair. It saves a lot of time 🙂 But I might have to try those hot
rollers – your hair looks great!
Same here! And I’m so lazy (ok, am afraid of drying the end out too) that I air dry them instead of using a hairdryer.
