You can get around this by not winding the hair as tightly, or by not leaving the curlers in for as long. That being said, most travel heated rollers come with a selection of rollers so that you can play around with different styles.If you like to have tighter, more vintage looking curls then go for the smaller rollers, and don’t comb out the curls beyond loosening them to make them look natural. Unlike the usual rough rollers you may be used to, these are soft and velvety. This ensures they don’t snag on your hair. What we like about it:

As a tip, make sure that you position all the curlers as horizontally as you can, to create a uniform look to your curls. For best results, use heated rollers when your hair is around 80% dry. This way, volume and curl are created as your hair dries, but it won't take as long as it would do if your hair was sopping wet. Heated rollers also work well on dry hair. The rollers are velvet-covered, which means the heat will have less chance of damaging your hair (or your fingers, for that matter: I burn myself frequently with my regular rollers, but these don’t ever feel unbearably hot to the touch…), and they come in three sizes – Daddy Bear, Mummy Bear and Baby Bear. You can obviously just call them “rollers” if you want, but I prefer to think of them as bears, because… just because. With eight large, six medium, and six small rollers, as well as both metal pins and plastic claw clips for keeping hair in place, the Babyliss Thermo-Ceramic Rollers were the best hot rollers we tested for making sure all bases are covered.Even better, there are several different roller sizes to cater for different hair types. These include two 25mm rollers, two 32mm rollers and two 38mm rollers. There are also six pins included. A simple travel case easily fits all 10 rollers. It’s small enough that you can easily stuff it in your suitcase. It can also heat all 10 rollers simultaneously, so no need to wait around for half the rollers to be ready before heating the rest. What we like about it: This is the “before” shot. I HAD intended that to mean “before I curled my hair with these new rollers,” but instead it came out more like, “Before the cops took away all my personal effects and told me I was entitled to one phone-call.” Whoops. I think that’s what you’d call a “forced” smile, no?
