Do you think that perms are a granny hairstyle? Think again! The new trendy accessory among the youth to add volume to hair is the curler! Here's an analysis of the incredible comeback of hair rollers among both women and men.
The big hair trend for spring 2024 is all about adding volume to your hair or even curling it. You might think that the most popular method among internet users would be a hot air curler like the Dyson AirWrap, but that's not the case!
With the curly hair fashion, numerous heat-free curling methods have sprung up on the Internet, especially on TikTok. The most surprising hair trend of the moment is the big comeback of rollers.
On TikTok, the hashtag #menperm has amassed over 42 million views. Hair salons are seeing an increasing number of young men coming in asking for a perm to look like their favorite influencers…
The comeback of curlers and perms confirms the adage that everything vintage eventually becomes trendy again. This statement, true in the world of fashion, also applies to the realm of beauty and hairstyling...
This partly explains why this accessory once used by our grandmothers is making a strong return on the heads of teenagers.
To explain the major comeback of this hair accessory, it is also important to highlight that today's curlers are less damaging to the hair than those of the past. They now come in the form of soft foam tubes, which are best used on damp hair.
They are easy to apply as all you need to do is separate the hair into several strands of varying thickness and wrap each strand around a tube.
With this type of curler, there is no need to use a pin to keep the curler in place; a simple elastic band will do. There are even more user-friendly options like flexible curlers or flexi rollers that are even easier to position. You just have to wrap the strand around the foam tube and fold the tube back on itself to secure it.
The incredible comeback of hair rollers in 2024 can also be attributed to their simple mechanical action, without heat or damage to the hair fiber. Just place the foam tubes on damp hair in the evening and go to sleep to discover the result the next morning: beautiful curls and/or volume for fine hair!
Far from being an outdated accessory reserved for grandmothers, the hair roller offers a gentle alternative to heat curlers. The foam models are also more respectful of the hair than velcro rollers that can pull out hair.
For everyone who hasn't yet given in to this major hair trend, here's a quick guide on how to use curlers.
- To cover the entire head, you need to place between 24 and 48 rollers depending on hair length.
- The diameter of the roller determines the size of the curl. The smaller it is, the tighter the curl will be. For a simple wavy effect, it's better to choose a larger diameter.
- Put the curlers in when your hair is damp and let them dry naturally.
- To better define the curls, you can use a special cream for curly hair or a styling spray before or after placing the rollers.
- When the hair is dry, gently remove the rollers but do not brush your hair! Just shake your head and run your fingers through your hair to set your hairstyle in place without damaging your lovely curls.
