Gripping Foam Rollers???

[Kalynda[$]]

I really need your help with this one. My 75 year old aunt in Oklahoma found these rollers a few years ago at Wal-Mart. She asked me to check and see if I could find them for her. I've tried, but so far the only ones I found were Shorties on eBay.

These rollers look a little like the velcro ones, but have a foam insert and are "soft enough to sleep on" according to my aunt. I'd love to find a set and send them to her. If anyone can help, I know the group here can!

They look like these, but longer.
Thanks, folks!

I'm not sure if these are what you're looking for, but it's worth a shot:

I don't think any of those are the right ones. We'll have to keep trying.

Thanks, Sara!

Have you asked at a place like Sally's?

www.sallybeauty.com

Since they sell beauty products to professionals, they are probably more aware of the different types of rollers.

Does your hairdresser have any ideas?

Is this right ?

Nah, I don't think so.

Still looking. I love a shopping challenge.

OKAY, as much as I hate to say it, I don't the exact product you are looking for is sold online.

It's part of the ExpressWaves line, which is retail (and small retail at that).

ExpressWaves continues to offer innovative alternatives in the Hair Roller category. Following the success of Gripping Foam Rollers (combining the ease of Self-Gripping and the comfort of Foam) ExpressWaves is now offering Shorties™ Hair Rollers – an exclusive new concept in Hair Rollers and Roller Accessories. Shorties rollers are salon and consumer tested and the conclusion is unanimous…women love them! They’re quickly becoming setting essentials.

There's a phone number on that page for the distributor.

Here's the resume for the marketing guy who developed the product:

(scroll to "Heights Product Group" paragraph)

Note that he was the President of Heights Product Group until 2000....possible the company isn't even around anymore.

Damn, Andrea beat me to it!

I found it at the bottom of the page here:

No link to buy, however.

Wow, I really appreciate all the searching you have done! I found that man's resume, too, but can't locate anyplace yet to get these darned things.

I'll tell my aunt how hard you have tried...she'll be amazed that folks she doesn't know would try this hard to help her.

But I'm not. And I thank you.
