Lived In Shades

With Spring 2024 now here we think the much talked about “Lived-In Shades” hair colour trend is going to dominate your choices for your new look this season… 


What Are ‘Lived-In Shades’? 

Subtle variations of stunning tones throughout the hair are what lived-in shades are all about. Think sun-kissed, natural tones… perfect for warmer months ahead. 


What Everybody Is Saying About The Lived-In Trend… 

‘Lived-In Bronde’ is on Real Simple’s radar of the colours that will be trending this year. Explaining to the online magazine about the “low-key blonde-meets-brunette bronde” colour, hairstylist Maria McCool says “This clean, natural look is in right now… It has very subtle shading with no strong lines and even fading throughout the hair. It looks as if it could be your natural colour.” 

In regards to ‘Lived-In Blonde’, another key trend we have been noticing this year so far, Who What Wear describe the look as “one of the most wearable, low maintenance trends out there” with hair professional Samantha Cusick further explaining “This year, I think we’ll be ditching the platinum blonde vibes of the Barbie film craze in 2023. 2024 will be all about more lived-in shades with darker roots…”

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.
