I was at the BSS the other day with the specific purpose of buying some satin rollers because my hair seems to have trouble holding curls with my rollersetting. I discovered sleeping in magnetic rollers (especially the black ones like I do) was a huge fail, so I finally decided to look for some satin rollers that would help me refresh limp curls.
I saw two types: the regular satin roller (it essentially looks like a sponge roller with a satin cover) and some satin pillow rollers, which I have heard good things about. I bought both to see what would benefit my hair the most. I must admit, at first I was a bit apprehensive about how the satin pillow rollers would work since it appeared that the hair would be bunched up on the roller and could possibly form a crease.
I rolled my hair last night at first using the regular satin roller. I didn’t like how the clasp appeared to make a dent in my hair, so about an hour later I took them out and put in the pillow rollers and I am glad I did!!! I took some of the rollers out this morning to see what the curls looked like and they were springy spirals! Imagine that! From a pillow roller!
Here’s how the hair looked when it was rolled, when I was taking it down and when I had the roller completely out. I have a long day of travel ahead for work and I plan on keeping these rollers in until I get to my destination! They will be covered with a satin bonnet and a toboggan. I am totally doing the Rihanna-I-ain’t-taking-my-wrap-out-for-the-AMAs! I will take some pictures when I have them all out and the final style!
These rollers can be purchased online for about $4 and in stores for about $4 for 10. I bought two packs to ensure that I would have enough.
Pictures of curls after I took the rollers out – I really did not want to comb them out! I gently took my Magic Rake comb and combed a couple of times through each section to fluff and separate the curls.
Some fun with the roller! It looks like that ridiculous mustache symbol I see around!
Pictures of my hair after I combed it out! It falls at about APL and I absolutely love my curls!!!! I felt like a little doll with my curls on the ends! I am in love with these satin pillow rollers and will be rolling my hair up with them again in about 10 minutes (after I admire my hair some more!)
I must confess, at this point and time in my HHJ, I am not really as concerned with length as I am with finding styles that I can do and maintain! I love my hair curly over it being straight! I am just excited I have found a way to extend my roller sets and blow outs with these satin pillow rollers! Friends, drop everything and go get you some A$AP Rocky!
I have the same rollers and I just got some for my suegra (mother in law) who’s detoxing from heat but still wants an effective way to give her straight hair some volume. Who knew that something so cheap could be so chic?

I’m in love with these rollers so far!!! Have you tried them?
These are the only type of rollers I can sleep in, I ain’t even gonna try to sleep in the other type of rollers out there lol I don’t know how some ladies do it!
Ugh!! I tried a few times and my neck was a mess the next day!!! I love these pillow rollers so far! I have lovely curls and they are easy to sleep in!! A win-win in my book!
Oh I absolutely love the results of these, and from no heat am impressed!!! They style looks amazing on you!!
Hi Yvonne! I am not one to gloat, but I love this style! The dolly curls (a la Duchess Kate) are giving me life everlasting (Southern speak for “I LOVE IT!”) I can’t stay out of the mirror! HAHAHAHA!
To be fair, my friend did use a flat iron on this past Saturday, but this will be easily replicated with a roller set, which I will be doing this weekend!
Wow, your curls and hair came out great! Now, I want some satin rollers, lol.
Oh I highly recommend them!!! They have also helped to keep my hair moisturized throughout the week even when I was in an arid climate! 🙂
