This is so interesting! The pillow curls definitely look more Hollywood glamour 40’s-50’s and the foam curlers look more put-together 30’s-40’s. So interesting that the type of curler helps achieve the look of a particular era but I suppose it makes sense!
When I was a teen, I used to sleep in large hard plastic curlers. They were murder to wear but the end result was entirely worth it. These were dream curls. I won't ask you to try them, but, if you decide to, I'd love to see how they look! ♡♡
Yes same! My hair was too long to entirely dry so I had to sleep with metal curlers overnight. Now it’s been ages from when I curled my hairbut I ordered foam rollers so I hope it’ll work out!!
@@alicializzie Yes, I've had great results with foam rollers and hope you have the same! Hard curlers create more uniform curls, but foam rollers are definitely the next best option. Have you tried setting lotions? I use one with flaxseed oil which prevents frizzy ends. :) Good luck with your curlers!
I remember getting a wet set with medium size old plastic 70s blue curlers you know the ones with holes and secure it with a plastic lock thing several years ago just for the sake of fun and my hair looked perfection until I washed my hair. The sleeping was awful but the results were mind blowing 😲😲😲❗ I don't understand why I don't see more people trying a wet set with those type.
I used to use those hard plastic lg rollers! They were so hard to sleep on, but they made a beautiful, thick head of hair! I got TONS of compliments. Mostly from the men, LOL! They never got tired of that "Put The Blame on Mame, Boys" look in the '70's!
I love the right side with the pillow rollers more ❤❤ they're both beautiful but I love the fluffy side, the foam ones look perfect for something special tho
I love the foam rollers....I just feel like you get a more consistent look, but the pillow rollers I think are easier for those days when you just want body. I use both for my locs but I tend to lean on foams when I need more cohesive curls.
Oh wow! They looked so similar until the brush out! I prefer foam rollers too but I do like the looser floofier look with the pillow rollers. I hate my pillow rollers-cheap conair LOL and the wires poke out but I was twisting them and not wrapping into a circle like you did so I’ll have to try that!
That's why I love doing these setting experiments, it's so fun to see the differences at the end and how they evolve and change! Wrapping them in a circle definitely makes them more secure!, I'd love to see if you try them again 😊
I love the pillow rollers side a bit more (that's probably just my obsession with longer hair speaking up lol), but both are pretty. I'm in love with your hair, both the color and the style. 🥰
I put the sponges (without the plastic bits) inside knee high stockings and tie them up. They come out wavy and curly at the same time, like my hair but tighter.
Pillow Rollers and Sponge Rollers are both great tools for vintage hairdressing. However in my opinion, Smooth Magnetic Rollers and plenty of time under a Bonnet Hair Dryer, followed by plenty of Back Brushing/Combing with a lot of Hairspray is the Gold Standard 😀
I love your cute bangs and middle part! It's actually hard to find a tutorial that shows how to do bangs like this becuase I think most prefer the classic marilyn monroe swoopy front. But I wanted something different and I like my middle part and bangs. Anyway, I have my curlers in so hopefully it turns out as lovely as yours :)
I like both sides. I love long vintage curls, but sponge rollers are so uncomfortable for me to sleep in! I may try the pillow ones instead since they look so similar
Thanks for this! I've been experimenting with rollers of various types and def prefer the pillow rollers. I'll have to try your brush our technique, hopefully it makes my hair look less frizzy.
Oh, thank you for doing the video at first I didn’t think it was gonna be good comparison, but it was and I pick the tighter curl of the foam rollers.. I’m surprised they didn’t leave indentations in your hair.
This lipstick is Barry M's liquid lipstick in Paparazzi (lol) it's the best red lip there is honestly! So inexpensive and animal cruelty free 💚 thank you so much!
I think i'd pick the foam rollers... because within an hour my hair looks like the pillow rollers and after two hours it's only a slight wave... My hair doesn't hold the curl, even with hair mousse for strong hold. How long does this wet set curl hold up in your hair? Does it really stay like this for the whole day?
Yes my hair stays like this the whole day! I spritz it with a light hairspray and it will hold through the day 😊 it has always been good about holding a curl as long as the humidity isn't too high 😅
@@SalindaNichols wow, you're Lucky! And thanks for answering! Maybe I'll just have to experiment more. I always like these kind of tutorial/experimental videos btw and was just watching your D&D outfit video since I just found you. Lovely content! And hi from germany :)
Its so hard, but i think i like the pillow roller look just slightly more because of the volume. They're probably both great for slightly different reasons.
You know what would be a great addition to these try out videos, to let us know how those two curl types look like i n cca 4 hours and how in 8 hours - cause sometimes one needs an all day long style/all-nighter. So how it looks after some time passed is really big decision factor.
Ooohhh where did you get those lovely pillows rollers from? They look fabulous!!! Both sides are fantastic- but super different! I wonder how they changed throughout the day? Lovely!!!
They're from Amazon! I've used them for years now and have had no issues with wires poking out or anything, they're my go-to! The curls stay pretty set throughout the day, of course this depends on the British weather and how windy it is/if I'm inside or out and about 😆
I love to do the wet set on my ethnic curly wavy 23.5 inch hair. I find the form rollers is easier to use than the pillow roller less tangles. Love your video new subscriber 🤗💕 by the by, what is the name of the song please?
What about the sock curls? Those are my favorite fragrance. Make sure you don't get a question mark on your forehead for a tattoo. Also a friendly bit of advise. You can pick your friends. And you can pick your nose. But please don't pick your friends nose.
Both are gorgeous! But how do you sleep in them? I've tried it many times, but everytime I had to take them out because I couldn't fall asleep on my side.
Ooh your hair looks wonderful in both! I'm a tad jealous, everytime I use rollers, I look like a lion with a really bad perm. Curse this frizzy hair! 😂
@@SalindaNichols maybe it just depends on what you’re used to. Ever since I started curling my hair at age 16 I‘ve used sponge rollers. I‘ve never even tried the other one. But now I‘m tempted try the pillow rollers. I mean your hair looks so fluffy it’s incredible!
Does the curl work better with dirty hair? I am thinking i should leave my hair dirty and then spray it like you did. Please let me know your thoughts.
OMG what kind of tattoo?? We are really thinking alike, I'm getting a tattoo soon too! Otherwise, I think I like the foam rollers side better too, but since I suffer from insomnia, anything out of the ordinary for sleeping is a big no-no :(
We're on the same wavelength lately! I'll post a picture in discord of the drawing I'm getting :) I absolutely understand you on that, I have major sleep issues as well 🙃❤
I think it’s because naturally curly hair curls all different directions and what makes a vintage brush out work is that the hair curls the same direction so you can make one giant curl.
“Don’t buy the cheapest thing” Well, if they are doing it’s job, why not? I buy mine from amazon, and yes, it is what you had said, but I get beautiful vintage curls in the end.
I love the pillow roller look best looks fuller and more volume
Don't like sponge rollers

I'm a fan of the shorter, less voluminous, and "tidier" side if I were to wear it. Both are absolutely darling on you.
When I was a teen, I used to sleep in large hard plastic curlers. They were murder to wear but the end result was entirely worth it. These were dream curls. I won't ask you to try them, but, if you decide to, I'd love to see how they look! ♡♡
Ooh I must admit now I'm curious! Maybe in the name of experimentation... 😆
Yes same! My hair was too long to entirely dry so I had to sleep with metal curlers overnight. Now it’s been ages from when I curled my hairbut I ordered foam rollers so I hope it’ll work out!!

I agree.

I personally would do a mix; foam curlers on the bangs (I think the result on the top/bangs is more desirable) and pillow everywhere else for comfort
I love the pillow rollers side a bit more (that's probably just my obsession with longer hair speaking up lol), but both are pretty. I'm in love with your hair, both the color and the style. 🥰
Thank you so much! The pillow roller side came out so glamorous~ 😊
I put the sponges (without the plastic bits) inside knee high stockings and tie them up. They come out wavy and curly at the same time, like my hair but tighter.
I like both! The pillow rollers are my favorite 😍
The pillow rollers are so ~glamorous~
This was so fun! I can't choose a side, they're both so lovely!
Thank you so much!
Both are very pretty, I usually like to set my hair in a longer style so I think I like the pillow rollers the best :)
Pillow rollers for sure
Pillow Rollers and Sponge Rollers are both great tools for vintage hairdressing. However in my opinion, Smooth Magnetic Rollers and plenty of time under a Bonnet Hair Dryer, followed by plenty of Back Brushing/Combing with a lot of Hairspray is the Gold Standard 😀
I love the pillow roller side. 💖
Oh my gosh, this is BRILLIANT! I really like both, two very different looks!!!
It's beautiful! I think the foam roller side looks more vintage and the other one looks a little bit more modern. Anyway it looks great ❤
Love this tutorial and your shirt. 😊
I love your cute bangs and middle part! It's actually hard to find a tutorial that shows how to do bangs like this becuase I think most prefer the classic marilyn monroe swoopy front.

The pillow rollers are definitely much easier to sleep in!

So glad you found it helpful! I have another curl experiment video coming out later today too experimenting with DIY setting holds 🤫
I dig the Theo Ellsworth piece on the wall behind you!
GREAT tutorial. I hate sleeping in foam so only use pillow. I like a longer fluffier set.
Oh, thank you for doing the video at first I didn’t think it was gonna be good comparison, but it was and I pick the tighter curl of the foam rollers.. I’m surprised they didn’t leave indentations in your hair.
I feel like this hairstyle will come back later this decade or the next one!
Ice always loved 🥰 this hairstyle!
FOAM ROLLERS!!!! They look way more elegant and expen$ive.
I love your personality 🙂. New subscriber 😊. I like your hair both ways but particularly the pillow roller side. So pretty!
Thank you so much! 💖
love how floofy the pillow roller side came out. might have to purchase some oops
What lipstick are you wearing? Love it! Plz keep uploading! Your videos are SO GOOD! Plz do a makeup tutorial
This lipstick is Barry M's liquid lipstick in Paparazzi (lol) it's the best red lip there is honestly! So inexpensive and animal cruelty free 💚 thank you so much!
Thanks for asking Jeannie. I too was wondering. I have never heard of BARRY M's.
I think i'd pick the foam rollers... because within an hour my hair looks like the pillow rollers and after two hours it's only a slight wave...

That's a great idea, I've been really wanting to do another one of these videos but couldn't decide on what to do!
@@SalindaNichols what about comparing pin curls with foam roller curls? I've searched youtube for it and couldnt find it.
@@lenkadan11 ooh that's a good idea too! Thanks for the suggestions 🧡✨

You're so beautiful ❤️
I think I like both because you can use them differently? Like outfits
Yes I agree completely! Different curls for different reasons 😊 and thank you!
Is that a regular paddle brush ( like just plastic)or one with bare hair aswell
Just gorgeous darling. I love the curls. 🥰
Gma would be happy with the hair tips too👵❣
And you could do bigger pieces on the other side, it would just take longer to dry. 🤷♀️
Definitely learned it from her! And you 😚
I think both sides are equally beautiful! May I ask what holding spray you were using?
Thank you! Just warm water in a spray bottle 😊
What about the sock curls? Those are my favorite fragrance. Make sure you don't get a question mark on your forehead for a tattoo. Also a friendly bit of advise. You can pick your friends. And you can pick your nose. But please don't pick your friends nose.
Thanks for the advice! 😎
Both are gorgeous! But how do you sleep in them? I've tried it many times, but everytime I had to take them out because I couldn't fall asleep on my side.
I find it alright with pillow rollers! With the plastic foam rollers I do toss and turn a lot 😅
@@SalindaNicholsok 😅 maybe I should try it once more then and choose smaller hair sections like you said. But thanks for these lovely video's! ❤
Ooh your hair looks wonderful in both! I'm a tad jealous, everytime I use rollers, I look like a lion with a really bad perm. Curse this frizzy hair! 😂
I've definitely had my lion days as well! 😂 But I think I've finally managed to finagle it haha thank you for watching!
I think I prefer the pillow curler side. I love big curls full of body.
Thank you for this tutorial beautiful girl❤
I have natural curls and about to loose my mind over this... Thankful for any tips!
Nadiiife on Instagram and TikTok has amazing hair tutorials for natural curls!
@@SalindaNichols Thank you so much! Will give it a try.
What is the diameter of the foam rollers you used?
what size foam rollers do you use? i roll my hair as well but i never get as tight of a curl as you got
Question, you didn’t put anything in your hair ? water? Did you spray them? I’m sorry I may have missed this.
I sprayed with water!
The difference isn't enough for me to justify having foam rollers on my head. Comfort is just too important to me haha
Absolutely fair haha I am tempted to do them more because I do love the result...but man do they suck to sleep in 😆
@@SalindaNichols maybe it just depends on what you’re used to. Ever since I started curling my hair at age 16 I‘ve used sponge rollers. I‘ve never even tried the other one. But now I‘m tempted try the pillow rollers. I mean your hair looks so fluffy it’s incredible!
I really love the pillow roller side!😻
Definitely would like to try!
Did you get them from Sally’s or Amazon?
Anyone have a link to these pillow rollers?
I like the pillow rollers side better
does anyone know the brand of pillow rollers she used?
Whats the name of the song playing
I think both sides look great, just different styles. Also if you don’t mind me asking, where is your accent from?
I'm from California, but I've been living in England for 6+ years so my accent is a bit muddled up at times 😅 especially in the vowels!
Does the curl work better with dirty hair? I am thinking i should leave my hair dirty and then spray it like you did. Please let me know your thoughts.
What are pillow rollers? What they look like, buy them?
OMG what kind of tattoo?? We are really thinking alike, I'm getting a tattoo soon too! Otherwise, I think I like the foam rollers side better too, but since I suffer from insomnia, anything out of the ordinary for sleeping is a big no-no :(
We're on the same wavelength lately! I'll post a picture in discord of the drawing I'm getting :) I absolutely understand you on that, I have major sleep issues as well 🙃❤
@@SalindaNichols I can't wait to see it!!!
I Love Your beautiful Ringlets 😍 You are GORGEOUS 😍 ❤️
I can never understand why I cant just brush out my naturally curly hair to look like this.... 🤔
I have also wondered this, I think nature realized curly haired folk would be too powerful if this was possible 😂
I think it’s because naturally curly hair curls all different directions and what makes a vintage brush out work is that the hair curls the same direction so you can make one giant curl.
What kind of tattoo are you getting?
I have a picture in my discord!
HI this was interesting.hadnt see those pillow rollers :) hug connie
I do know you need to roll straight bown on part :) no lines :)
Thank you for the kind words Connie! 😊🧡
I just found out I have been winding my hair onto the foam rollers wrong four more than 55 years.
“Don’t buy the cheapest thing”
Well, if they are doing it’s job, why not? I buy mine from amazon, and yes, it is what you had said, but I get beautiful vintage curls in the end.
Glad you found success with them, they haven't worked out so well for me!
I wish you would have given us a 360 view
The pillow rollers were called rag rollers because in the 30's that is what women used (cut up rags). you are cute😃
pillow
Unfortunately for the most part if I do a wet set, my hair does NOT dry at all and it is a big whole waste of time.
Nothing worse than rolling your hair perfectly and the closure to snaps off.☹
Say no to the cheap rollers.Tfs!
So, that's my problem, I don't trust the process.
I love foam rollers but I twist the top at the beginning then roll. No indention!😁
