Today, we're going to be reviewing the viral TikTok product: the overnight heatless blowout.
I’ve previously done a similar tutorial where I used a sock and flexi rods to create a heatless curl look (check it out here: Easy Heatless Hairstyle: Viral TikTok Sock Curls Tutorial).
I got great results from that, so I’m hoping this new product will give me similar — if not better — results.
Let's see how it works for fine hair, and if these rollers for fine hair can help achieve the blowout hair rollers effect I’m aiming for. I'm excited to try out this hair blowout with rollers technique and see if it really works as well as it promises!

Prepping the hair
1. Prep your hair
Start by applying a curl-enhancing cream to your recently washed hair. This will help define the curls and give them a better hold.
Brushing the hair
2. Brush your hair
Gently brush through your hair to ensure it's smooth and free of tangles before starting the curling process.

3. Section your hair
Clip up the back section of your hair and leave the front section (by your forehead) down. Take a large roller and place it underneath the front section of hair, rolling it toward your face.

4. Secure the roller
Fasten the roller by connecting the two sides at the top of your head. Make sure it feels secure. You should be able to move your head from side to side without it shifting.

5. Roll the next section
Take another section of hair slightly below the first and roll it just like the previous section. Clip it in place to keep it secure.

6. Repeat with the last section
Divide your hair into a third section and repeat the rolling and clipping process for that section as well. Your hair will look like this.

7. Add the scarf
Now, take a soft, silky hair scarf (a satin scarf works best). Fold it in half and place the pointy end near the top of your head. Bring the scarf up over your hair and tie it securely. If needed, you can use bobby pins to keep the scarf in place.
8. Sleep on It
Now, sleep with the rollers and scarf in your hair overnight. Let them work their magic!
Removing the rollers
9. Unroll the rollers
The next day, carefully remove the rollers from your hair.
The result: overnight curls
10. Style and evaluate
Part your hair as you normally would. I was hoping for more defined curls, but I have to say I’m a bit disappointed. While this isn't “bad,” it didn't give me the volume and curl I was expecting.
The blowout effect is there, and I do have some volume at the top, which I appreciate — but this might not work for my hair type.
My hair is fine, so curls like these tend to fall flat quickly. If you have thicker hair, I think these rollers would work much better for you.
Trying smaller rollers
Since the larger rollers didn’t give me the result I hoped for, I decided to try a smaller set to see if that works better.

1. Claw clip hack
I saw a hack online where you use a claw clip to gather your hair at the base and then roll it under.

2. Repeat the process
Roll the sections of hair with the smaller rollers and clip them in place just like before. Sleep with them overnight.

3. Unroll the small rollers
The next day, carefully remove the smaller rollers.
The result: overnight curls
4. Fluff and style
The smaller rollers gave me tighter curls, which I like much better! I fluffed my hair a bit to add more volume and loved the result—much more defined than with the larger rollers.
Testing out rollers for fine hair
After a few hours, my hair did start to fall a bit, which is typical for me because of how fine my hair is. I tried a lot of different products and techniques, but my hair just doesn't hold curls well, no matter what.
But I do like how the smaller rollers turned out — they definitely gave me better results than the larger ones.
The clear winner here? The smaller rollers. The large ones didn’t do much for my hair at all. If you have fine hair like mine, you might find that even the smaller curls don’t last long, but you could still get a nice blowout look for the morning.
Would I use these again? Yes, but I’ll probably stick with other methods like Dutch braids or unicorn curls, which seem to hold my curls better.
Overall, I like the small roller version, but it’s not perfect for my hair type. Still, I think it could work great for thicker or more voluminous hair!
