 Hi guys, I want to buy some heated rollers as i plan to have my hair loosly curled for my wedding day. Im getting married abroad so want to have something that I can take with me, and be able to do myself, or with a little help with my bridesmaids if need be. Can you recommend any? xx

 @jo101280 If its loose curls you want have you considered using a straightener to curl your hair? you simply twist the straightener at the top of the hair and then pull it down to the bottom - there are loads of videos on youtube that can show you how, its really simple. They also take up far less space in you suitcase than a bunch of heated rollers. hope this helps xx

 @mrsmander2b Thank you, ive just ordered some of those from Amazon to try out, thanks for the recommendation.

@midz Thanks, I have tried using my straightners, but the curls dont really stay in for very long in my hair, my hairdressers tried to and she hasn't had much luck either, so wanted to try heated rollers to see if they make any difference.

 @jo101280 when my hair was long I used the babyliss heated rollers, they are quite good but as my hair is very thick and heavy the curls didn't stay in for long. Then I bought a giant barrel curling iron (1" thick) and that worked much better, although I pinned up the curls and let them cool down and put some hair spray on them as well so they stayed in longer.
Whatever you get, practice a few times before the wedding so you won't get nasty surprises emoticon

 @cicmatag
Thanks for the advice. Im not getting married until june next year (I know im planning way ahead for my hair) but like you say, good idea to have plenty of practice, and then at least if its not working how I want it to I can always look at other options. emoticon

 They look really different if you curl them under or over your hair.
