Hair rollers are a nod to the 90s, when voluminous, bouncy curls a laCindy Crawfordreigned supreme.
Good news: This bombshell hairstyle is back, and we couldnt be happier about its revival.
Ive been encouraging this hairstyle a lot too, she tellsGlamour.
Not everybody wants that styled, curled look.
I feel like I talk about hair rollers in every interview.

I love that look.
Its soft 90s glam.
Rest assured, using rollers isnt as scary or difficult as it seems.
All you need is your preferred hair roller, a hair dryer, and your favorite styling product.

How to use hair rollers
As it turns out, its actually pretty easy.
Just take it step-by-step.
First, divide up sections of your hair.
Valles recommends starting at the top of your head and working your way down.
Do big sections here, because were not trying to have a really curly look, she says.
Next, choose your hair roller size.
For a 90s blowout, its go big or go home.
(She likes to use three-inch and two-inch.)
Obviously the tighter you go, the tighter the curl is.
But I dont really want a curl.
But this part is all customizable.
Alternate for more natural-looking,beachy waves.
If you like the ringlet look (tighter curls), use smaller rollers.
Medium-size rollers will give you soft, loose curls ormermaid waves.
Choose which punch in of curl youd like, and then pick the right size of roller from there.
It depends on the jot down of hair roller youre using.
Then use avolumizing productlike a mousse or spray to get that extra oomph in your blowout.
Apply the product to the roots and run through the ends.
No matter which key in of hair roller youre using, the way you roll is key.
If you want to get volume, confirm youre rolling the hair under to create that bump.
Go under at a 90-degree angle, Valles says.
Take a large sectionabout the same width as the rollerand roll under the hair.
Always, regardless of bang out of hair roller, roll your hair inward and toward your head.
You want to start at the the end of your hair, going upward to your roots.
Lastly, brush or finger-rake out your curls, and head out for the rest of your day.
Just double-check the hair youre choosing is the right shade.
Usually your ends will be half a shade lighter than the rest of your hair.
With hot rollers, its best to style using completely dry or mostly dry hair.
Valles suggests heating the hair with a curler before using the heated rollers.
I use a curling iron, she says.
Pin or clip the hot roller in place.
After I put the hot rollers in, I let it set, she says.
Once unrolled, as with with Velcro rollers, spritz somehairsprayortexturizerto set the curls in place further.
Same thing again: Brush or finger-rake them out, and youre ready to go.
They tend to work best when you leave them in overnight.
This way the curlers work to set your hair while youre sleeping.
Plus, since the foam rollers are softer than Velcro ones, theyre much more comfortable to sleep in.
Either air-dry or blow-dry your hair to get it ready for the foam rollers.
Again, after you blow-dry, let the hair cool and then remove the rollers.
