Create Beach Waves Using Roller clamps

Pictured is the Conairpro Pro Clips.  These type of roller clamps often come with a set of hot rollers.  They can also be purchased separately as you can see by the box pictured here.

This wet set is for long, straight hair. I finger rolled small sections of a human hair wig and clamped them down.  Since you can not sleep in these clamps, a bonnet dryer will be needed.  The results are a beach wave as seen in the picture below.

These clamps also can be used with wire mesh rollers.  Please see my separate article on wire mesh rollers.

These clamps could possibly be used on locks for a wet set.

I used a curling iron along the top fringe area, but  kept the rest of the hair "beach wavy."

Tool Review: Wire Mesh Rollers

These wire mesh rollers are truly ventilated for quick drying time, but they are not "magnetic." So hair does not stick to these rollers as well as they would magnetic rollers. End paper and a stiff roller pick/pik are needed to succesfully use these rollers. The hair length needs to achieve a few revolutions around them to hold in place. I have found that these rollers do not allow curls to actually set. So if you are going for the bone straight look with a round brush finish, these rollers would be a good start!



May 1, 2013 update:  Vented Roller clamps can also be used with these wire mesh rollers to hold rollers in place.  These roller clamps are plastic and can be used with hot rollers or cold rollers.

The plastic from the roller clamp will assist with firmer sets.  Also, because the clamp is vented, it helps promote faster drying time.
