Do you ladies have any suggestions for curlers or something of that nature to give my hair some lift? My hair is pretty limp, and sort of wavy. I don't like using much product or heat (so an actual curling iron is not something I would use).
Here's a picture of what I am working with. PDQ as I may delete my picture in a day or so.

I used to use the velcro rollers PIPed above. I personally had mixed results, but my hair is naturally more curly than yours.
My formula now is generally lots of dry shampoo. It gives my roots some volume. I spray my roots at night, twist into a bun, and release in the morning for some waves and volume.
If you want to go the roller route, I greatly prefer hot rollers to either the velcro ones or a curling iron. It's much faster; mine heat up in 60 seconds. If I roll my hair at the beginning of getting ready, it's the perfect amount of time with little hassle. (FWIW, I'm still too lazy to do this unless I actually have to travel for work.)

If you are open to a non-curler option, I have heard amazing things about VOLOOM. I have it on my Amazon wish list, because I have stick straight hair that never holds volume. One of the blogs I read recommended this thing (she bought it with her own money, so it wasn't a sponsored post), and the Amazon reviews are really positive. It aparantly is super quick too, which is a big plus for me, as I'm lazy and don't like to spend much time doing my hair in the morning. www.amazon.com/dp/B01N42GFDI/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I12L9JCW8IWYE5&colid=21GUP1HURI24E |

I didn't see your pic to see how long your hair is. When my hair was longer I liked using these hot rollers - which, yes are heat, but they are soft and I didn't feel like they damaged the hair. www.ulta.com/jumbo-roller-instant-heat-hair-setter?productId=xlsImpprod540578I'm a big fan of hair powder, like Big Sexy Hair Powder. I also like Not Your Mother's Sea Salt Spray to add some texture on days that I don't feel like styling my hair. |
