Scunci Pillow Rollers Review

I have naturally curly and thin hair.  I have been trying to embrace my natural curls, since that is the new thing, right?   But my natural curls are not all the same, some are tight curls, some are barely curled at all, some are just frizzy pieces and are just bleh by themselves. If I go over my whole head with a curling iron they look great, but I wanted to get away from heat every once in awhile.

Since I love reading reviews before purchasing, I stood in front of these in CVS and read some great reviews.  I washed my hair, prepped it with Living Proof's Curl Spray and put in these comfy little rollers. Since this was my first time doing anything like this, it took me way too long and my arms were aching by the end.  I wrapped my ends too tight around the spongy pad and then continued down the length of my hair. Twisted the ends and was ready for bed.  I put a satin cap on and went to sleep.   

When I woke up (which was a long time after putting the curlers in, I totally overslept) and took the curlers out, I was horrified.  I didn't have any knotting issues or tangles like other reviews, but what I did have was a throwback to when I was a small child with a curl-fro my family couldn't control.   My normally past my shoulders length hair was now an inch long.

ONE INCH LONG.

I tried pulling out the curls and expanding them with my fingers with no difference. So then a tried a wide tooth comb, and now my hair was about two inches long and just as frizzy and clown like.  Considering I am a redhead, I totally looked like Bozo.  At that point, my boyfriend was laughing uncontrollably so I decided to go with it and just brush out my hair and embrace the 'fro.  It was spectacular and I wish it was still 1982, because I can rock a 'fro.    

Alright, I lied.  It looked horrible and I was afraid I wasn't going to get it to wash out without a tangled mess.    

It washed out and my hair is back to normal;  straightened with a flat iron.  These pillow rollers have now been returned to CVS.   

Packaging -  You can see what you get easily, and you can keep everything contained in there, but it was nothing special -  4/5

Value - Well, it was only $12 and if it had worked for my hair, it would have been a good value -  4/5

Re-Purchase - Not for my fine, naturally curly hair - 1/5
