Have You Set Up "what3words"?

Setting your precise delivery location just got easier with “what3words”. This partnership with DPD is the simplest way to talk about location, so make sure you set this up in your DPD account. 

 

“What Is what3words?”

Sometimes your street address or postcode isn’t accurate enough to specify precise locations. For example, you may have experienced difficulty in receiving your parcels previously due to having a widely used postcode, a building entrance that isn't clear or you may live in a rural area. 

The difficulty of finding and sharing precise locations can influence a variety of things in everyday life, which is how “what3words” was created. 

In summary, “what3words” has divided up the world into 3 metre squares, with each square having its own combination of three words, creating a simple way for everyone to talk about location. 

You can find more information here. 


The Partnership With DPD 

To enable deliveries to precise locations, DPD has partnered up with what3words. This allows you to add your what3words address in the DPD app, specifically the “Delivery Preferences” section. Following this information being added, DPD will know the exact location, doorstep, side entrance etc to deliver the parcel specified by you.

Velcro roller FAQs

  • Do Velcro rollers need heat to work? 

    Velcro hair rollers can be used to achieve stunning results with or without heat. Using your hair dryer to apply heat speeds up the setting process, delivering bouncy curls in minutes. 

    However, Velcro hair rollers can be worn to bed, where their clip-free design means they shouldn’t disturb your beauty sleep. Simply apply to dry hair as part of your bedtime routine, and wake up in 6–8 hours to effortless bounce. 

    Both heated and heat-free Velcro roller methods deliver impressive volume and hold. 

  • Can I use Velcro rollers on hair extensions?

    Velcro rollers can be used on human hair extensions just the same as your own hair. Follow all the instructions and advice in this guide to get the best results from Velcro-rolling your hair extensions, and take extra care to avoid tangling, especially close to the bonds.

  • What size of Velcro rollers should I use? 

    The best size of Velcro hair rollers depends on your desired look: 

    • Jumbo (2+ inches): Best for root lift and smoothing. 
    • Large (1.5–2 inches): Loose waves and mega volume. 
    • Medium (1–1.5 inches): Balanced volume with more definition. 
    • Small (0.5–1 inch): Tighter curls and bounce. 

  • Why do my rollers keep slipping out? 

    If your rollers keep slipping out, try working in smaller sections, add a spritz of texture spray, and secure withcurlerclipsfor extra hold.

  • Why do my curls look uneven? 

    Uneven results usually mean uneven rolling technique. To remedy this, keep your sections consistent, apply heat and cooling time evenly, and check your roller placement from root to tip. 

  • Can I combine Velcro rollers with other hair styling tools? 

    Velcro rollers play well with other hair styling tools. Use them after curling irons to lock curls in shape, or roll sections post-straightening for extra volume and smoothness. They’re also perfect for adding hidden lift to half-up styles or popping in after a blow-dry for a polished finish.

  • Should you put Velcro rollers in wet hair? 

    You should not apply rollers to wet hair. Instead, apply to almost dry or completely dry hair for best results. 

  • How long should you leave your hair in Velcro rollers? 

    If opting for a heat-free rolling technique, leave your hair in rollers for 6–8 hours for best results. Some people choose to do this overnight.  

    If setting your Velcro hair rollers with heat, they’ll be ready to remove in minutes. 

     Don’t underestimate the power of Velcro hair rollers – they’re a low-effort, high-impact tool that transforms flat hair into full-bodied drama. Ready to get unrivalled volume, shape, and bounce? Shop Velcro rollers here.
