THE LOOK - HEATED ROLLERS IN SECONDS WITH THE O

This little pod has revolutionised how we use heated rollers! Rollers have made a come-back, as they give effortless bounce and curl, but The O Pod by Cloud Nine has changed how we look at rollers. You see this pod? Well, it heats rollers up in 4 seconds, without actually giving off any heat (which means you can stick your hand in the pod and it'll never be hot), it uses 7 times less energy than usual heated roller systems, and you can heat one roller at a time, meaning you use each roller when you are ready.

In the recent Madonna post, I mentioned that rollers came in many different price ranges, and this one is at

the other end.

Having used traditional rollers, where ceramic rollers are heated up on metal prongs (see these), I know how annoying and fiddly they can be. The longer you leave them, the hotter the rollers get and the more annoying they become to use (I lost count of how many times I've picked up a roller and had to drop it because it was so hot). They are also awkward to put into the hair, because they are ceramic, they are very smooth and they don't grip to the hair at all.

The O, on the other hand, uses heat induction technology which heats the rollers from within meaning they won't be hot in the hair or in the hand. Once they reach the maximum temperate of 130°, they start to cool themselves down slowly, setting the hair fantastically. 

What's different about the The O rollers, is that they are Velcro. When you pop a roller in the pod, you wait 4 seconds, it beeps, you take it out, and instead of being instantly hot, they slowly heat up as you're putting them in the hair, meaning you don't burn your fingers. You pop in a clip, and move onto the next roller, only having to wait 4 seconds (instead of the usual 15-20 minutes for a set of ceramic rollers to heat up in the tray).

The rollers also come in bigger sizes than normal heated rollers, so you can get that big bounce, with an easy Velcro application, but with the bonus of heat.

As I said, The O is a bit pricey. For the pod alone, it's around £150. Then there's the rollers to buy, and the clips. The rollers come in many sizes (see chart above), so it's best to figure out what rollers you are likely to use, and only buy that size. Being so expensive, it's best to consider how much you are going to use the rollers. But, because they are so easy to use, you could use them everyday for effortless volume and curl, without the waiting and fiddliness of classic heated rollers.

Plus, you gotta admit, the Pod looks very slick and stylish. 

I have to say, I love using The O Pod. It's effortless. When I have to use traditional rollers, I get so frustrated, because the pod is just so easy. It's definitely a must-have product is you are a fan of rollers.
