Update: This giveaway has ended.

Congratulations to Anna Frugal, the lucky winner of a Conair Xtreme Heat Multi-sized Hot Rollers!

Anna, please check your email for more information on claiming your prize. Again, congrats!
Winner was selected randomly.
One of my newest hobbies is surfing Netflix.  I browse for obscure shows, oddball documentaries, and cheesy action flicks.  One show that I’ve seen lately is Toddlers & Tiaras.  Crazy pageant moms and demanding children aside, I’m digging those little girls’ hairdos. As a straight-haired dame, I’ve always struggled to not only shape ringlets with my hair but also to keep those curls for more than an hour.  Oh, and did I mention that my hair is UBER-thick?  Yeh, it’s double difficult to get even a wave going.

I’m giving away one of these! Continue reading for more details on the giveaway!


But I’ve discovered my new secret weapon: Conair Xtreme Heat Multi-sized Hot Rollers.  What are they?  Rapidly-heating hot rollers with a velvet-like texture and “stay cool” ends (translation: no burning of the fingertips).  There are 20 ceramic rollers in 3 barrel sizes, and clips to match.  The coolest thing is that there’s a place to heat up 3 clips at a time for maximum curl effect.  And talk about warming up quick!  I plugged the kit in and gathered my brushes, combs, and hairspray –in less than 90 seconds, it was curlin’ time.
It took me two rounds of curling.  The first was all 20 rollers on the top layers of my hair.  The second was 4 jumbo and 3 medium rollers on the underside.   In a total of less than 20 minutes for both sets, I was ready for my own glitz pageant… minus the sassy toddlers…  and minus the catty moms…  and minus the bouffant…  OK, well a little of the bouffant was there :-)

    I used to be a pageant girl, back in the day… I still have my hot rollers and still use them, though I burn m fingers a LOT. One time, I was having my hair done for and event and I told them to give me the “Delta Burke Special”. Remember, the higher the hair the closer to God. Bwahahahaha!
