So when do I get used to my hair getting caught in my purse strap? lol I have for now switched to a purse I put on my elbow. Also, what are the best curlers to use? I would like to wear them to bed if possible, maybe with a wet head. And how does it work? I have seen some that have a setting gel too, do I need that? I feel like a kid here. I have a curling iron, but I think that would be best for shorter hair. Tell me everything...please!  |

I get mine caught on my purse strap all the time. It always feels like I am tugging on it. I see people who have no problem with their longer hair getting it caught. Are we just a special interest group who gets hair caught on purse straps or something?
Also purse straps falling down. Mine always fall down on me. I hate that. I don't see anyone else struggling with it. I have thick straps and skinny ones and they both fall down. Maybe I am not a good purse carrier?

My hair is almost mid back and I never get it caught in the car door, so maybe you'll luck out. However, my husband pulls it like elevety billion times a day trying to hug me or rub my shoulders or rolling over in bed, so there's that. Long hair just gets in the way of stuff. I use a curling iron on mine. I just never learned to use curlers properly, so I hesitate to use them. I try not to use heat more a than a few times a week so I'm not over stressing my hair (anymore than dying it blond already does.) |

It has to be really windy out and your hair has to be pretty long for it to happen - that's the length where you can start measuring to see if it is long enough to donate!  |

I've been letting mine grow out and it's a bit lower than mid back, but I keep it pulled up all the time so it doesn't get caught on anything. I don't know what the point of long hair is in my case. I am thinking about getting it cut to just below my shoulders.

I gave up sleeping on curlers decades ago. My hair is mid back, and won't dry overnight in curlers. I have to fan it out on my pillow to get it dry.
My hair never held a curl very well, and that is especially true with long hair. That said, I use a large diameter curling iron on occasion to smooth it out and bend up the ends a bit.

I didn't know people still slept with curlers....I could never do it....my hair is so thick that it would still be wet half way down the strand if it's wrapped up in a curler.
My hair is mid way down my back and I never it caught on the car door, but it does get pulled by my dh while sleeping should he roll over on it like a previous poster said.

My hair gets caught on everything it seems, but my purse is the number one annoyance. It's waist length though. I love it and don't want to cut it even mid back so I'm growing thicker skin on my scalp. LOL!

Wait until you catch it in the car door - you'll miss the days when it "only" got caught in the purse strap! Oh boy do I agree with the car door.....pain. I use electric rollers sometimes. Dry hair, style, then roll up your hair and leave in until the rollers are cool. I use my flat iron most days. i have to wash my hair everyday so I style differently everyday. |

When my hair was super long it would get caught under my armpit at night when I would turn over and omg it hurt even DH would get it caught under his arm.
As for the rollers back in the day when I wanted it curled (which was very rare) I would use the pink granny rollers. They're foam and you always see grandmothers wearing them lol. Worked well.

I don't carry a purse usually, just a wristlet, so no problem there. I've never had mine caught in a door either, and it's mid-back length. I'm also a straightener, never a curler, that just looks like too much work and I like mine straight and sleek. So I'm absolutely no help to you, but have fun with your longer length. I love my long hair too much to ever cut it  . |

Ugh the armpit...yes! and rolling round in bed has gotten a bit awkward...lol. I have seen those available too, I thought maybe the others would be better, newer maybe. They are flexible curling rods. |

Mine got caught in the window as it was rolling up.
I donate mine every 2 years and cut it to my shoulders.

Sleeping in curlers sounds like a nightmare, how would you get comfy? My hair is long and I use a sea salt spray and let it dry naturally to create loose curls, this is the one I find works best Sea salt sprayThe only thing that really bugs me about long hair is that it sticks to my lipgloss when it's windy! |

DDs have had good results using rag rollers (just cut up an old tshirt, I think)- Similar to this technique, then style the curls as desired. or putting their hair up in a sock bun at night (wet or dry)- Like this!
Both are much more comfortable than the pink foam curlers I wore to bed when I was younger! I usually put my hair in a ponytail at night, using a scrunchie or headband that's softer than a regular pony tail holder. I just get way too hot if I don't. Of course it doesn't all stay in throughout the night, but it helps a lot. You could also loosely braid it to keep it from getting caught on something while you sleep. |

My friend recently got her hair cut because she got it caught in her arm pit!  I just cut mine all off! But I did love the convenience of Hot Rollers. I have a small travel set that my daughter uses when she want curls. |

I have a 42 piece twist flex curler set coming my way, to be delivered tonight. It is not heat, I figure I will wash my hair tonight and when it is still damp, wrap them and sleep in it. Do I put a leave in conditioner in too? I think I will try that...I am so excited to see curls tomorrow...

Sleeping in curlers sounds uncomfortable. I used to do it as a little girl and hated it. My hair isn't as long as it was, but I do get it caught in my purse strap and that's annoying. Have fun w/your long hair. If you're having a bad hair day you can just put it in a ponytail and you're good to go.

I find that curling irons don't work as well as wands. I have a cheap Nume wand that works great and the curl will stay in overnight (just touch up the next day). It's pretty quick to do, and for two days of wear I think the time is worth it.
