The best heated rollers for big bouncy waves, editor-approved

These rollers are joyfully simple to use – though they come with instructions, we doubt you’ll need them. They produce big curls and add a generous dose of volume to hair, too.

They heat up quickly – in approximately 60 to 90 seconds – and you get 12 rollers in total. The set also includes clips and metal pins to keep curls locked in place for long-lasting styles.

This set of eight rollers from T3 impressed our experts with their ability to create bouncy curls that last. They’re suitable for shoulder-length hair and longer thanks to their chunkier design. The set contains four extra-large barrels and four large barrels tailored to different sections of your hair.

The velvet flocking means they grip strands well and are easy to remove without any snagging or tangling. They also feature an insulated rim, so they won’t burn your fingers.

This set has a mix of 20 medium and large rollers, which is great for those with thicker hair. There's no indicator light to let you know when they’re ready to use, but the speedy 90-second heat-up time means they won't slow your glam down – just remember to set a timer.

Each roller also comes with an accompanying clip to secure the curls in place and help them set securely.

We've tested many of Nicky Clarke's hair tools at the Good Housekeeping Institute – they feature in our best hair straighteners, hairdryers, and hot brushes roundups, so these shouldn't disappoint.

These rollers are travel-friendly and will fit neatly into your bathroom cupboard. They alert you when they're ready to use (the light turns from red to white) and boast cool-tech ends to minimise damage. They also feature smoothing ionic technology, which is crucial to a non-frizzy finish.

If you’re after big, bouncy curls but don't want them to come at a price, you're in luck. This cheap and cheerful hot pink set may come with as many rollers as other options on our list or look as fancy, but they do the same job.

If you don’t have loads of thick, long hair, then 10 should be plenty anyway. And, as always, use with a hard-working heat protection spray to keep your bouncy new curls damage-free.

BaByliss created these 20 ceramic rollers for those with long, thick hair in need of taming. If you have this hair type, lucky you, as you're blessed with full locks. However, you'll also probably know the struggle of trying to achieve lasting curls. That's where these heated beauties come in – they can help hold curls and waves in the heaviest of hair dos.

The smoothing rollers come in three different sizes and also boast ionic frizz control for smoother results. There's a three-year guarantee, too, so you can shop with peace of mind.

This set is not only super colourful, but it offers the most rollers and size varieties of all the options on our list.

With 30 rollers in total, it also contains smart colour-coded clips to make the whole experience easier, as well as multiple temperature settings and a handy travel case.

Instead of ceramic, this set contains 18 Velcro rollers that heat up via a hood that you attach to your hair dryer. While heated rollers create a more refined curl, Velcro rollers give hair a bouncy blow-dry finish, with added volume and curled in ends. You can control the amount of heat you use via the hair dryer, and the barrels themselves aren’t heated, so they can be a less heat-damaging option.

The hooded dryer works to lock in your style for glamorous curls that should last all day (although possibly not as long as with ceramic rollers). The set also comes with the brand’s Modern Hairspray for maximum hold. We're fans of the vintage vibe.
