How to Get Big Bouncy Curls Using Sleep-In Rollers

Imagine waking up to gorgeous curls that last all day – no heat, no hassle. The best part? You can get them while you sleep!

At Voduz, we know the importance of having a hair routine that fits your lifestyle. Whether you’re getting ready for a busy day or a fun night out, overnight rollers are the perfect way to wake up looking fabulous with minimal effort. Here’s how you can get the soft, voluminous curls you’ve always wanted simply by using sleep-in rollers.

Step 1: Choose the Right Sleep-In Rollers

Comfort is key when it comes to sleep-in rollers since you want them to be gentle on your hair and scalp. This is simply to ensure you get a comfortable night’s sleep while your hair curls!

Our 'Root Lift' Sleep-in Rollers are designed to be comfortable and effective, and two options are available to suit your hair length:

Step 2: Prep Your Hair

Before you roll, prep your hair for the best results. Start by dampening your hair or letting it dry naturally for a while after washing—as long as it’s not soaking wet but lightly moist. Apply a styling product like a texture spray to enhance texture and hold. This will give your curls extra bounce and longevity throughout the day.

If your hair is prone to frizzing, consider using a thermal conditioning spray to smooth things out and ensure your curls stay sleek and defined. If hair frizz is a common problem you’re experiencing, our guide on How to Tame Frizzy Hair might be of interest.

Step 3: Section Your Hair

To achieve even, bouncy curls, it’s essential to section your hair. Begin by dividing your hair into smaller sections, starting from the bottom to the top. You can use clips to help keep each section in place as you work your way up.

Top Tip: The smaller the sections, the tighter the curl, so keep this in mind, depending on the look you’re going for.

Step 4: Roll Your Hair

Begin with the bottom section of your hair, taking a small piece and rolling it up into a sleep-in roller. Roll each section away from your face for a more natural look, but you can alternate directions for more volume and texture if you prefer.

Make sure your rollers are secure but not too tight. Comfort is key since you want to be able to sleep while wearing them!

Roller Tip: The rollers should be tight enough to stay in place without causing any tension on your hair or scalp. You will thank us when you lie down and are comfortable with no feeling of hair pulling.

Step 5: Let the Rollers Work Their Magic

Once your hair is fully rolled, it’s time to sleep! The best thing about overnight rollers is that they work while you sleep, so you can wake up to fabulous curls without lifting a finger. Allow your hair to dry completely before removing your rollers in the morning, but this will usually happen naturally while you sleep.

If you’re short on time, you can always leave them in for a few hours while you go about your morning routine. But for the ultimate bouncy curls, sleeping in your rollers overnight is your best bet.

Step 6: Remove the Rollers

Start by gently unrolling the soft rollers in the morning to reveal your bouncy curls. Be careful not to tug on your hair too harshly, as this can cause frizz or weaken it. If your curls are looking a little too tight, run your fingers through them to loosen them up.

Step 7: Style and Enjoy!

Now that =you’ve got big, bouncy curls, it’s time to style! You can leave them as-is for a voluminous, carefree look or use a curling iron to curl up any areas that need extra definition.

If you love volume or want your hairstyle to hold for longer, give your roots a little lift with a dry texture spray or add some strong-hold hairspray. After spraying, shake your curls loose with your fingers for a more relaxed and natural look.

Wake Up to Beautiful Curls

Sleep-in rollers are perfect for anyone who wants full, bouncy curls without the hassle. Simply curl them into your hair and leave them in overnight as you sleep, and you’ll wake up to soft, voluminous curls that last all day. The best part? They’re gentle on your hair and don’t require any heat styling.
