I was doing a bit of throwing out of stuff today, and in the back of my wardrobe found a very elderly set of heated rollers - remember them So when I washed my hair, I decided to see if they were still working, and they were - I was bouncing around with this lovely "big" short hair, looked lovely and full and gave my hair a real lift I was thinking I might put them on the local buy/sell/swop page on FB but now I think I'll hang on to them for a while I usually use a hot air brush, but rather liked the extra fullness for times when my hair goes a bit flat. A real blast from the past!

Remember them? I bought myself a set of the new bigger 'volume' type ones a couple of years back - they are fab for a bit of root lift when you want it I only bother for evening really, but they do the trick!

OMG!!!

I have lovely memories of my mum in her Carmen heated rollers getting dolled up to go out with dad to their local social club.

The thing is they really work! The bigger ones give fantastic volume, rather than curls

Yes my mum wanted 'lift' as opposed to curls.

I also remember her 'teasing' her hair with a long tailed steel comb to get it just right.

Then it was a scoosh of her favourite perfume, a slick of pink lipstick and off they went.

Oh the memories.

Have any of you ever seen these?? Not conventional heated rollers but Becks has some like these - and they give fab ringlets and corkscrew curls, depending on how you wrap the hair around them

Jackie's daughters have them Kaz..they give a great result.

Oh cor berlimey - I had one set of those too

My hair is very very fine and flat, so I used to use them to try and do something with it - then I ended up perming it for years instead

Ho I remember them as well
Also remember trying to sleep in huge plastic rollers held in place with
A plastic e spike
Still the babycham e always helped or the cherry b

Saundra!!

My mum was bought a set of the original Carmens when I was young - she was over the moon as before that she would sleep in spikey rollers the night before going out anywhere
