The Aurora Band Night Roller Review

The Victoria’s Secret show was last week and left me in awe of the Angels and all their perfection from top to toe. I know there’s not a snowballs chance in hell that I will ever look like one but even if there is a small percentage I will take it and that small percentage comes in the way of their bouncy flowing hair. I know I’m not alone in loving their hair and I’m probably not the only one who’s tried to create it. I’ve tried many times to get my hair to look like theirs but failed miserably, the only thing I can do well with hair is straighten it with my GHD other than that styling my hair can just be impossible sometimes and it’s not my hairs fault I’m just awful at styling so anything that can do half the job for me and make me looking somewhat decent is always going to intrigue me.

The Aurora Band Night Roller came across my lap a few weeks ago. I had seem some other bloggers mention it but didn’t read much into it until it was sent to myself. If you watch Dragons Den you might have seen the owners Alex and Lyndsey successfully getting Gavin Duffy on board and investing into the company.

The Aurora Band Night Roller is a Velcro tube like hair band that overnight creates voluminous curls and waves to your hair.

How it works:

First things first you need to read the instructions card in the box and I’d go onto their website and click into the demo video. The first time I tried the band I didn’t pay too much attention to the instructions and after putting my hair up in the roller I then looked at the video and realised I did it wrong, the second time though I paid attention and it worked out amazingly.

The second thing you must do is have freshly washed hair that has been dried and left slightly damp. After that all you need to do is follow the simple instructions (simple when you’ve read them, as you can imagine IKEA furniture and I do not get along).

Placing the roller over your hair, part it into two and then begin to wrap. You’ll need to take a piece of hair, comb it out and wrap. Taking the piece of leftover hair from the first wrap, bring it into the second piece, comb and wrap again and do this process on both sides.

When you get to the back just keep wrapping until there is no more hair and then you just sleep.

This is probably one of the quickest hair curling products I’ve ever used, it literally takes 5 minutes to do and the rest of the magic is done while you sleep.

I’ve only tried it on myself but I do think if you have someone to do the wrapping and unwrapping for you it will probably turn out slightly better. I think I would have had sleeker curls if I did have some one helping me.

What always put me off sleep in rollers was the thought of them being so uncomfortable to sleep in but the Aurora Band Night Roller was fine to sleep in. It was slightly awkward to get comfortable at first but the great thing about the band is that it can be moved around and the wrapped hair won’t come out, so I just moved around and didn’t wake up till the next morning.

When I took the band off I was expecting sleeker curls and maybe something similar to the girl on the packaging but I had so much volume in my hair and the curls and waves turned out much better than I was expecting and had more of a Farrah Fawcett from Charlie’s Angels look from them than a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

The roller gets a big thumbs up from me, the band is so much better than using curlers as no heat is neaded so there's no damage to the hair. I will definitely be using it again, it’s so easy and quick to use and gives great results, the curl in my hair lasted all day and I only used a small spritz of hair spray that morning.

The band can be bought online on their website and are stocked leading pharmacies such as McCabes Pharmacy, Sam McCaulys and Cara Pharmacy and retails for €12.99.

Thanks for reading.
