Which give you more volume?
If you're looking for longer lasting volume at home, the type of roller you use makes all the difference. Here's what you need to know.
What are velcro rollers?
Standard velcro rollers are made from plastic with a velcro exterior. They grip the hair and hold it in place while it dries, but because the core is plastic, they retain no heat. This means the hair sets at room temperature, which works, but the results don't last as long and can drop quickly, especially in fine or hard to hold hair.
What are thermal volume rollers?
Thermal volume rollers have a metal core that retains heat. When gently warmed after the hair is set into place or rolled into freshly blowdried sections while the hair is still warm, the metal core holds that heat and releases it slowly as it cools.
This slow, gradual cool down is the key difference. Instead of the hair setting at room temperature, it sets under controlled warmth, giving it more time to fully mould into shape. The result is longer lasting volume, more defined lift, and a style that holds throughout the day.
The maene. Volume Roller set uses exactly this principle. The thermal core combined with the soft touch velcro exterior means your hair gets the grip it needs to stay in place, and the heat retention it needs to set properly.
Which rollers work best?
For everyday styling, both work. But for longer lasting root lift and volume that holds especially on fine, straight, or hard to hold hair, thermal rollers win every time. The science is simple hair sets in the shape it cools into. Give it longer to cool in the right shape, and the results last significantly longer.
How to get the most from your thermal rollers
- Blow dry hair completely before rolling. Any moisture will prevent the style from setting properly.
- Roll each section immediately after blowdrying while the hair is still warm. The thermal core will absorb and retain that heat.
- Secure with balancing clips and gently heat up the rollers slightly with a hairdryer or diffuser on a low heat.
- Leave the rollers in until completely cool, this will ensure the hair is fully set into place. The longer you leave them, the better the result.
- Remove gently with a twisting motion this avoids tangling and brush out with a The everyday hairbrush to create soft, bouncy shine
The verdict
If you want volume that actually lasts, thermal rollers are the upgrade worth making. Standard velcro rollers are fine for a quick set, but if you're looking for root lift that holds all day, the thermal core makes all the difference.
