How to Use the Beauty Works x Molly-Mae Thermal Rollers?

Step 1: Wash & Blow-Dry
Wash your hair as usual using your Beauty Works shampoo and conditioner. We recommend spraying your hair with the Beauty Works Dream Shine to fight frizz and tame flyaways before blow-drying. Begin rolling your hair while it’s still warm - this helps the rollers set your curls more effectively.

Step 2: Section Your Hair

Section your hair into smaller, roller-sized sections. (If you’ve picked up the gift set, the pin tail comb included will make this step even easier.)

Step 3: Roll with Tension
Place a roller at the ends of each section, roll up smoothly to the roots and secure with a metal pin curl clip, ensuring you maintain tension for a sleek, bouncy finish.

Step 4: Lock in the Heat
Use your hairdryer on low speed, high heat to warm the rollers. The thermal core will hold that heat to set your style.

Step 5: Cool & Set
Leave the rollers in until your hair is completely cool, then mist with Beauty Works Super Hold Hair Spray to lock in long-lasting bounce. This step is key for holding your curls in place all day (and night).

Step 6: Remove & Style
Unclip and unwind each roller gently.

• Finger shake-out = big, bouncy volume
• Light brushing = sleek, polished finish

Where should I place the rollers in my head?

The beauty of the Beauty Works x Molly-Mae Thermal Rollers is that you can achieve a range of styles simply by switching up how and where you place them. Whether you’re using the full Gift Set or a Quad Set, here’s how to get the most from your rollers:

Using the Gift Set (all three sizes)

With all three roller sizes included, you can customise placement across the head for a complete blow-dry effect.

• Large Rollers (Crown & Top Layers): Place at the crown and along the parting to give maximum root lift and airy volume. This creates that big, bouncy base Molly-Mae is known for.
• Medium Rollers (Sides & Mid-Lengths): Use through the sides and middle sections to add rounded body and movement. This softens the overall look and helps the style fall smoothly.
• Small Rollers (Front & Face Framers): Perfect for shorter layers, fringes, or the hairline. They create face-framing flicks, definition and polished ends for a professional finish.

Result: A balanced, salon-style blow-dry with volume from the crown, shape through the sides, and detail at the front.

Using the Quad Roller Sets (one size only)

The Quad Sets let you focus on one type of roller, giving you control over the kind of lift or shape you want to achieve.

• Large Rollers: Focus placement at the crown and top sections for dramatic root lift and big bounce. Ideal for recreating Molly-Mae’s signature big hair look.

• Medium Rollers: Place evenly through the mid-lengths and sides for smooth, glossy, everyday volume that’s natural but still styled.

• Small Rollers: Use on shorter layers or around the face to add subtle shaping, flicked ends, and fringe lift. Perfect for softening the look or finishing touches.

Result: A tailored finish, whether you want full glamour, soft everyday bounce, or a touch of shape at the front.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Thermal Rollers?

Want to get even more from your rollers? Here are a few expert tips to maximise your results:

-         The bigger the roller, the bigger the curl. The smaller the roller, the tighter the curl.
Create a fully customised blow-dry using the size and placement of your choice.

-         Double up with hot tools for long-lasting curls.
These rollers are also great for setting hair that has been styled using a hot tool. Roll each section immediately after styling – this helps lock in the shape while the hair cools, making your curls last longer.

-        Use rollers on day-two hair to refresh your style.
No time to wash? Add rollers to dry hair and lightly blast with a warm hairdryer. Let cool before removing for revived shape and volume without starting over.

-         Don’t rush the cool-down.
Leaving your rollers in until the hair is completely cool is the most important step for hold. Letting the hair fully set ensures your style stays in place all day.
