The look: volume, volume, volume
If you're after Victoria's Secret-model volume, then medium or large velcro rollers are the ticket. Velcro rollers are awesome for adding more body after a blowout; they can also revive day-old, slept-on waves. To use Velcro rollers, roll up a few sections of completely dry hair and hit 'em with a blowdryer; give your hair a few minutes to cool, then remove the rollers.

The look: professional-looking wet sets
Magnetic rollers, confusingly, aren't magnetic at all; they're just simple, plastic rollers. Wet hair sorta clings to them, but many women need additional security using clips, bobby pins or snap-on covers. These rollers may not be for amateurs, and you won't want to snooze on them, but they're inexpensive and their rigid form gives curls a smooth, consistent look.

If you have long curly hair or natural black hair, you'll love flexi rods. They're amazing for adding definition to droopy-looking curls or wet-setting hair, and their bouncy/spongy texture makes them a great choice for overnight wear.
