- Hey guys, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles, and today-
oh, and Shawn.
- And I'm Shawn from Cute Girls Hairstyle.
- We are coming to you from Hawaii where I'm going
to do a Fab or Fail.
I brought these rollers all the way with me from Texas
because I wanted to try them on just wet, damp hair.
I love heatless styles, especially when I'm on trips
where I'm getting in and out of the ocean and the pool,
'cause I don't want to put heat on my hair.
So I thought I would try these for you.

to the video.
(upbeat music)
Okay, to start this hairstyle,
I have washed my hair tonight.
I'm going to take my paddle brush
and I'm just going to brush brush, brush,
just like you would after a shower.
You know what I'm saying?
Brush your hair, nice and clean, no snarls.
And then I normally would put maybe Hairitage Curling Cream
in 'cause my hair can handle a little bit
thicker curl cream.
Did not bring it with me on this trip.
So I did however, bring this amazing curling enhancing foam.
It is literally a miracle worker.
So I'm going to do a few pumps.
You can see it's really foamy.
It's not as thick and stiff as a mousse.
And I'm just going to go through one side.
I'm going to make sure and kind of drag it all the way down.
This doesn't leave your hair stiff.
It's a lighter weight.
Not like a mousse sometimes does.
I'm gonna do both sides.
Just, you know, kind of work it in.
We were going down home today, guys.
Like my roots are so gray 'cause my appointment's
after we get home and the lighting is bad. (laughing)
So after you do this, I'm going to let my hair
air dry a little bit just because this,
if I put this in curlers, it wouldn't dry overnight.
My hair needs to be like barely damp
to have the perfect effect.
So I'm going to let it air dry.
You could blow dry it if you wanted to
or you could have done this even on second day hair.
So I'll be back in a minute when my hair is dry.
While my hair is drying I'll tell you about these.
These are the curlers I am trying.
I got them off Amazon.
This is what they look like.
They basically feel like this middle part,
do you remember it was old pink sponge rollers?
Like curlers that your mom used to put in your hair
when you were tiny?
The pink plastic ones?
That's basically what this middle section feels like.
And on each end, there's kind of like a wire
in there that makes them bendable, almost like a twist tie.
So the idea is that you put your hair on it,
you roll it around, and then you can twist it up
and it holds in place and it's just softer to sleep on.
That's the idea.
I got this pack.
I will look up price and put it on the screen.
I don't remember what it was of the top of my head.
And I believe there's like 36 in this pack,
but you can buy smaller packs too.
So you don't need that many.
That is the rundown on the curlers.
And I'll be back when we're ready to put them.
(lively music)
Okay, you can see my hair's mostly dry.
The instructions say to roll from bottom to top,
but I don't love doing that, and here's why.
If you roll from bottom to top like this
sometimes I feel like your ends tend to be a little weird.
And if you are not like the most perfect roller
all the way up I feel like you end up with weird kinks.
So I like to start from the top.
I always roll away from the face,
'cause then you get nice Farrah Fawcett,
as opposed to towards the face where you're going to feel
like when you're done.
So I'm going to try to take,
put it against my scalp and lay it down.
Two things I'm going to teach you.
One is if you twist your hair like this and then do it
you're going to end up with a tighter curl.
My hair takes curl pretty well.
So I am afraid if I roll it to the scalp and twist it
I'm going to end up with curls like this big
and look like Annie.
So I'm going to try to lay them as flat as possible
which is a looser curl, but I am going to take them
to the scalp just cause I want to see what it looks like.
Sometimes another trick is only rolling them
up halfway and then leaving them.
If you want more of like that really natural, just end curl.
But just for kicks and giggles
I'm going to go all the way up today.
Okay, so I'm going to take them, lay it against my scalp
but I'm going to try to just lay it really flat
and lay it like this.
I'm going to give the ends,
just use that little piece to roll the ends
in and then I'm going to take these.
Cross them it says, and then just kind of squeeze it
and it's supposed to stay pretty tight.
I think it will be fairly soft to sleep on tonight
because they're not hard.
So I think it won't be bad.
Okay, so again, I'm taking it,
you can see I'm keeping my hair pretty flat
and just rolling it around.
This way I know it's not going to be all weird kinks.
When I get to the ends, I'm just rolling it
down a smidge and then rolling the ends
in and then I'm going to take them.
That one's a little loose.
I'm going to redo that one, 'cause I want them,
I actually do want it like against my head.
We're experimenting guys and you're experimenting
right along with me.
That's the one nice thing if you start at the bottom
your ends of the naturally rolled in,
whereas mine, I'm having to kind of unroll.
All right, take it all the way up.
There we go, that's much better.
Cross it, twist it, squeeze it flat.
Okay, that feels better.
Even though it's not like tight, tight, that one's fine.
It's going to be interesting to see what these look like.
After rolling for a minute I have actually decided
to do it from the ends up.
My ends are having a hard time staying on if I don't,
and I'm feeling a little like I am going
to still get the kinks.
So I'm going to take it, I'm changing my tune here, y'all.
I'm gonna roll from one end of the roller,
wrap the ends in and then roll them in,
and then roll my hair all the way down the roller.
And make sure you're still kind of rolling
away from your face at the top.
And I'm going to go vertical
because I want my hair to fall vertically.
I'm gonna roll it up and take it, twist it, and pinch it.
Same drill on everything just from bottom to top.
And I think we're going to see what ends up looking like,
which way is better because I'm going to leave
these others over here in the way they were.
And again, I am trying to keep my hair flat.
I'm not twisting at all.
If you want tighter curls you can definitely twist.
And if you have a little baby weight, baby fly-aways
like I am, you can just work those into the roll as well.
And remember, we want away from face.
Or you won't like the way it curls, for sure.
(lively music)
So far, I've done two, let's see, four, six,
that's 10, 14, I think in my hair.
And I will have one more layer at the top.
So maybe 22, I could do bigger chunks too.
I really want to make sure that it dries in the morning,
that it's dry by the morning.
So I'm doing a little bit smaller pieces.
Okay, got one side done.
This little guy, I could have done one big piece
or two small.
I decided to go with one big.
I hope I'm not sorry, because I didn't want it
to be too tight.
We'll see, we'll see if it's too tight or if it's too loose.
I don't know.
(lively music)
Wish me luck guys.
I honestly don't know how this is going to go.
We'll see you in the morning.
Hi guys, it's the next morning.
The good news is they all stayed in.
I did not have any fall out overnight.
Here's my predictions.
I predict that they work, that they actually curl my hair.
But I predict that the curl is so tight
that it just kind of goes frizzy.
Those are my predictions.
Let's start taking them out and find out.
Okay, so when I do my overall rating
I'm going to do it on two things.
Number one, did it curl my hair?
And number two, would I actually wear the curl?
'Cause you can get, anyway,
I think because these are sponge rollers
and I used to do these when I was a kid
they're just going to be like so tight.
Like to here tight, and my hair is normally here.
So we'll see.
And we're going to see if they pull or tear on my hair,
or anything weird.
This is what I was thinking so far, oh gosh.
(lively music)
Remember on this side I wrapped and left them in
where I wrapped from top to bottom.
And honestly, I don't see a huge difference so far.
So, which tells me you really could wrap it either way.
See this, see how it like went wonky.
That's what I disliked about curlers like this
is like these little ringlets.
Like this one, that's a good curl in my opinion,
because they're all uniform, but this one's a little wonky.
Okay, I definitely decided I liked them wrapped
from the bottom to the top better.
I don't scratch that.
I like them wrapped from the top to the bottom better.
I think the curls ended up being better and more uniform.
The weird thing is on this side I swear they ended up
tighter somehow when I have like literally
did the exact same thing on both sides.
So go figure on that one.
I don't know. It was like they twisted weird or something.
So this is what it looks like.
Let me see if I can do anything with this.
I'm gonna shut you off for a minute
and see if I can do anything.
(laughing)
You guys, these curls.
I don't even know what to do with them.
I just tried to separate them a little bit
and stretch them a little, and they just aren't.
Thumbs up because they curled. They did curl.
I mean, I have a lot of curl, a lot.
And it's mostly pretty corkscrew-y curls.
Okay, but thumbs down because I just wouldn't wear this
in my hair.
Like this is not a realistic look for me.
I will say they might work for Paisley's hair
and give her really a really nice like twist-out look.
And I maybe could have only rolled them to here,
and then had curls down, and this stay straighter,
and I might've liked it better.
But still I would have had to have done giant pieces.
Tell me what you guys think in the comments below.
Would you wear this?
Do you think that I should have given it two thumbs up?
I mean maybe if you had a dance or something you had to go
to like a little girl's dance competition where
they had to have a really high ponytail that's very curly.
Or maybe if you had really straight, thin hair
that didn't curl at all naturally, this would work.
But for my hair, I mean, these are gonna take all day
to relax, all day.
So there you have it, guys.
We're going to do one fab, one fail.
