Why Sleep-In Rollers are the best thing since sliced bread

Hilda Ogden eat your heart out ...

I've always said that if I had someone come round and blow dry my hair every morning I wouldn't need a PA. I just wouldn't ever get stressed at having to organise my life, I'd instead be basking in the joy of having swishy, shiny locks that fall back into place just so, as I whip my hair back n' forth like a Pantene girl. Some people say stroking animals lowers stress levels. I say running your fingers through your perfect, swooshy Claudia Schiffer-standard locks has the same effect (I know that sounds narcissistic, but so be it).

However I've recently discovered Sleep-In Rollers and have grown an evangelical enthusiasm for them, as they're the next best thing to a salon blow-dry. Also ...

1. They don't scorch your hair like straightening tongs, hence it stays in a better condition.
2. As you're meant to pop them in the night before, you don't have to set aside half an hour of your morning routine faffing about with straightening tongs.*
3. They make your hair a whole lot bouncier than straightening tongs
4. They're less heavier and easier to take on holiday (no having to look for adapter plugs)
4. They're just better than straightening tongs m'kay?

*Ok so you could straighten your hair the night before, but I find when I leave it loose all night, it always looks a little flat and greasy the next morning, when I require height of Lana Del Ray proportions.

Going to sleep in them is a little weird at first, I'm not going to lie. You have to lie like a Geisha, flat on your back with the pillow slightly scrunched under your neck for support. But I've never woken up due to them digging into my head which is always a good sign. Otherwise if you're going out on a weekend afternoon/evening, you can always cheat and put them in several hours earlier, blast them with a hairdryer and hairspray, then take them out just before you head out the door.
