In the ever-evolving world of hairstyling, where an array of tools promises the perfect look, Mermade, a viral hair care brand, has unveiled a groundbreaking solution for those on the move – USB-powered hair rollers priced at just $39.
Traditional hairstyling tools, from Ghd straighteners to Cloud Nine curling wands, often share a common limitation – the need for a wall plug. Even cordless options eventually require recharging, tying users down to an energy source and rendering them immobile. Enter Mermade’s USB-powered curlers, offering a liberating solution for on-the-go styling.
Renowned for innovative hair products like the Mermade wavers, popularized on beauty platforms like TikTok, Mermade now introduces a travel-sized set comprising two rollers, each measuring approximately 8cm in length and an inch and a half wide. Featuring a USB-C port, the same as modern Macbooks, and an elastic tie for secure fastening while on the move, these rollers are set to redefine convenience in hairstyling.
Each roller is equipped with velcro, surprisingly adhesive to hair, and reaches an impressive temperature of 80°C, adding volume without risking damage. Importantly, as these rollers operate without batteries, they can be safely transported on airplanes, ensuring perfect hair upon arrival.
The compact design allows users to stow the rollers in a handbag for quick touch-ups during an Uber ride, at work, or wherever the need arises. Mermade offers the USB-C Roller Duo at an affordable $39, making accessible, efficient hairstyling a reality.
A Hands-On Trial:
Eager to test the potential of these $39 wonders, a user embarked on a quest for bouncy bangs. Upon receiving the rollers, the absence of a USB-C charging cable was noted, requiring a separate purchase. Charging the roller via a laptop USB-C port, the user experienced a seamless process, with a color-changing indicator signaling optimal heat.
Application involved twirling hair around the velcro roller and securing it with a silicone band, allowing hands-free functionality. Despite deviating from the recommended time, the roller demonstrated a heat-regulating feature, preventing any risk of damage. A five-minute automatic turn-off further ensured safety.
Upon removal, the user acknowledged a learning curve in brushing hair beforehand to ease velcro removal. Despite initial challenges, the results were satisfying, providing a bounce to the fringe without unwanted angles or bends.
How to Use the Mermade USB-C Hair Roller Duo:
Begin by applying a heat protectant to your hair to reduce heat damage.
Plug the velcro roller into a USB-C power source, with the red light indicating charging and turning blue after two minutes, signifying readiness.
Take a small, well-brushed section of hair, spritz it with hairspray for hold, and wrap it around the velcro roller horizontally at the root. Secure firmly with the silicone loop.
Allow the roller to cool for 1 minute, or up to 30 minutes for a more defined curl. Carefully remove the silicone loop and gently unwind the velcro roller to preserve the curl.
Spray the curl with hairspray again and brush it out to blend seamlessly with the rest of your hair.
In conclusion, Mermade’s USB-C Hair Rollers offer an affordable, efficient solution for those seeking a portable hairstyling tool, providing users with the flexibility to maintain a flawless look wherever their day takes them.
