Hundreds Of People Use These $8 Twist Rods To Get Perfect Heat-Free Curls

These Diane by Fromm twist rods only leave bouncy curls — no heat damage needed!

I've been using heated styling tools since middle school and let me tell you — my hair is OVER IT. It turns out years of straightening and curling my hair really do leave damage...

My mom really did try to tell me. I'm still not going to say she was right.

So when I found these Diane by Fromm twist-flex rods ($7.69 on Amazon) that require ZERO HEAT, my hair practically took my credit card and bought this itself.

"These are great! I have waist-length ultra fine hair — a lot of it, but my actual hair strands are very fine. Heated curls leave my hair within two hours. These work perfectly on my waist-length fine hair. I was absolutely able to sleep in these and I’m a light sleeper with a sensitive scalp. I just tie a scarf around and go to sleep. My curls/waves stayed over 36 hours, which is impressive. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with these and they are easy to use and good quality." —AGW

They come in a whopping pack of 30 in both short and long sizes and bend to move *with* your locks for a head of full curls. Just twist your hair around each rod, shape them to your liking (people usually do C- or S-shaped), and keep 'em in for a few hours — most sleep with them! AND THAT'S IT.

They come in two sizes: three of each 7" short length rods with widths of 7/8", 11/16", 5/8", 9/16", and 1/2", and three of each 10" long length rods with widths of 7/8", 11/16", 5/8", 9/16", and 1/2".

I'm not the only one impressed — they already have 946 five-star reviews and a 4.2 star rating on Amazon!

"I have been using this type of roller for quite some time, as I have thin hair. I am always looking for products that create at least the illusion of thicker hair. The problem I found with other brands was that they cracked or the ends popped off and I was always buying more. These are great! They're durable and do EXACTLY what I wanted. I am now a big fan. I will not have to replace them, as the quality is very good. I highly recommend!" —terra

Reviewers with fine hair LOVE these, because it's finally easy to curl their hair — and keep it that way all darn day. That's right, these rods keep a curl *longer* than heat tools!!!

"As someone who colors their hair, I am constantly on the lookout for ways to style my hair without further damaging it. I therefore try to stay away from heated methods of styling hair as much as possible. I prefer heat-less methods like this, because the curls seem to set for longer and stay bouncy. Let me preface by saying this: the 'before' photos of my hair were taken after having the curlers in my hair for only two hours. I have pretty thick hair and was looking for a casual, wavy look...the fact that my hair took to curling in such a short period of time is AMAZING!! I also love the fun assorted colors." —kiana

Not to mention — and I can't stress this enough — there's absolutely NO heat damage. None. Zilch. Rien.

"These are wonderful! I am bad when it comes to curling my hair, no matter what I use. My curls fall out within minutes. I've had curling irons over $60 and other things to curl my hair, but nothing worked until I tried these guys. My hair stays curly the whole day and you can also see some curls the next day, but not as puffy as the first day. I love this product. I just left them in overnight and take them out in the morning, and my hair is super curly." —Catherine Jablonska

They truly work on every hair type! Thick, curly, fine, long, short...you get it. As someone with thick hair, finding a damage-free method of styling is nothing short of a miracle.

"These are so soft and healthy for your hair. I received mine today and put four of the orange ones in my hair to see how long before it would curl dry hair. Well after doing a couple of things around the house, I removed them and low and behold my hair was curled nicely. I'm back to order another tub of these. You can't beat this price." —LSpencer

It's recommended that you sleep in them for the ~full effect~, but even a just a few hours is all some reviewers need for bouncy curls!

"I couldn't wait to use these after seeing how to get effortless curls without a curling iron! While on a work conference call, I was able to twist my hair into the twist rods — it took maybe 10–15 minutes. I thought I would need lots of twist rods, but only ended up using six of the bigger purple rods, and that was enough for my super thick Asian hair! Score! I left them in during my conference call, and forgot about it for an hour after as I was returning emails. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but two hours after the twist rods, hello curliness! I had to finger comb my hair out because it was SO curly, and it looked awesome! With just water and four hours later, my hair is now curly/wavy. I am THRILLED to put this into my beauty regime in the mornings!" —Joanna Kim

It's s u p e r easy for these to style your mane to your liking — tighten them for bouncy ringlets, or wear them a little looser for a wavy look.

"These things are miracles! I am hair incompetent and had pretty much given up on trying anything beyond 'throw hair in messy knot on top of head.' I tested these out in a rush, just to see if I could work the things. I sprayed my day old, undone hair with a texture spray and easily placed the rods and just left them in for 20 minutes to see what would happen. I had awesome curls/beach waves...that's what happened!" —Ivy

I can't even tell you how much money I've wasted on expensive products that fall — ironically — flat. And 30 of these only cost $8?! I could kiss my screen.

"I have never used rollers/curlers before. I was always using a curling iron, but it took so long! These flex rods blew my mind! I took a shower before bed the night before and put these curlers in after some styling spray right as I woke up, went along with my normal routine about (30-45 min), and got perfect curls! This was my first time using them and was SO easy! Make sure you use hairspray when the rods are in, so your curls last longer. Overall, I would recommend these to everyone! They're so worth the money!" —KelseyB

BASICALLY, if you're ready for a break from heat tools but still want to style your hair this is your lucky, lucky day. You and your curls can ride off into the sunset together now.

"I'm always looking for ways to curl my hair with no heat. I've been using sock curls and headbands curls for years. But I wanted to try something that would give me more variety. These do just that! I used the bigger rods for my top hair layer and smaller for the bottom. I put them in while we watched a movie and two hours later...beautiful curls! I'm a definite fan!" —jenneratorcrafts
