Oh my gosh, I am just getting to this now and I am totally overwhelmed! But I can’t wait to see the final product.

And what do you mean you can’t brush wet hair? Are you serious? Why didn’t I know this?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’m still a little skeptical that Big Hair is a daily option for me, but I’m sure after The Big Reveal I’ll be a little more convinced. That was a fabulous tute, by the way. And I hope that soon I will have my own big hair to show off… and possibly my own British Boy, courtesy of said hair

Thanks again for your hair vulnerability. It truly is a service to womankind!

Oh AB, you make me laugh with all of my being.

For the record, reading this post took longer than it takes me to do my hair most days. For real. I sometimes don’t even comb it when I get out of the shower. I figure it’s long and straight and super-thick, so it’s going to do what it wants anyway. And if it misbehaves, it gets The Bun.

I would be a horrible Southern girl, wouldn’t I? I’m not sure they would let me into the state of Texas.

Can’t wait to see the finished product! I have always been fascinated by velcro rollers, but was never any good at it. Hey, it took my YEARS to master the flat iron. Thanks for the lesson, can’t wait to invest in velcro rollers of my very own!

Amy Beth, I’m going to just come right out and say it. You. Are. My. Hair. Hero. No kidding. I will need a study break tonight from writing a ten page points and authorities memo (blah, law school) so I will trek to Target and get myself some of these amazing rollers…and you better believe that I will be trying this tomorrow. Or Saturday at the latest in case you don’t have the second part up yet.
Seriously, me and my painfully pathetically flat thin hair thank you.

I, too, learned the t-shirt instead of towel trick, and every female who has seen me use the shirt thinks I’m crazy. Thanks for validating that I am not the only person who has heard of this tip.

I am SO using the T-shirt as a towel tip! Thanks for a great post.

Ah, but here is the big question: can you use velcro rollers if you have curly and/or long hair? I have some crazy think, crazy frizz prone hair.

My grandma uses velcro rollers, and once, when I was 7, she decided to “play” with my hair and put them in her rollers. Well, in a tragic turn of events, her shower broke, the repairman had to come, and the rollers were stuck. My Meme didn’t have time to take them out, so I had to march myself across the street to my great-aunt’s (who happens to be my grandmother’s identical twin) so her daughters could pull them out of my hair while I colored. IT. HURT. I’ve never looked at curlers since.

Is this because of the texture or length of my hair OR did it have something to do with the fact that my hair was dry when my grandmother put them in? Please tell me if my lifetime of avoiding curlers could be over.
