Congrats JaeJay! Please send an email to princesshairstyles at gmail dot com with your shipping address.
And, thank you everyone else who entered!
We haven't tried curling the Princess's hair since she got it cut, so when Strawllers contacted us to try out their product, I thought it would be a fun experiment.
There are five sizes of Strawllers available. We decided to go with the fairly large sized beige (1 1/8 inch diameter) Strawllers because I thought the smaller ones may shrink her hair up into nothing but a frizzy ball! I was hoping for nice soft waves.
We started by washing and conditioning her hair, then sectioned fairly large pieces (we wanted waves, not tight curls) and rolled them up onto the strawllers. The bottom layer of her hair was just too short to get around the strawllers, so I left it down and only curled the top half. We used 7 strawllers in all.
Now, I'm not going to lie. I had a really hard time getting these in, and out. I'm just not used to working with these types of curlers! They don't come with any way to secure them and in the instructions it says to use bobby pins or clips. I didn't know what I was doing, so I took a guess. See those little holes in the strawllers? Well I thought those might be for sticking the bobby pins in. WRONG that is a bad idea! It held them in just fine but uh, lets just say they were nearly impossible to get out. (See pics at the bottom of the post for more detail.) Anyway, that was my dumb mistake. Next time I'll know what I'm doing and it shouldn't be a problem (hopefully.) I guess it just takes a little practice. :)
Another thing to note is that these would not be comfortable for sleeping in, so you would need to use them when you have time to let the hair dry (while you're awake.) We did this in the afternoon after school one day and it took a good 3 hours to dry completely.Here's what the curls looked like when we took the strawllers out. Nice wavy curls!
And after "finger combing."
This was just the look we were going for. Not too tight! Of course if you have longer hair or want a tighter curl, you would want to use one of the smaller sized strawllers sets and roll up smaller sections of hair.
Now, so that YOU don't make the same dumb mistake I did........
This is why. (Trust me it was not a pretty sight trying to get these out!)
THIS is how the Strawllers are meant to be secured.....
And now that I've shown you what NOT to do, LOL. A giveaway so that one of you can try these out for yourself. (And hopefully have better luck with your bobby pins.)The giveaway will be for 3 packages of green (1 3/8") strawllers. 12 strawllers come in each package. These are the largest size of Strawllers available, perfect for creating large, wavy curls.
*Head over to the Strawllers website then come back here and tell me which color of strawllers you would most likely want to use for your hair type.

*I'm going to make this one easy on you. Tell me about your hair or your daughter's hair! Is it short, long, curly, straight, brown, black... you get the picture. SPILL

Her hair turned out cute and I've actually done the same thing with a set of curlers once! We would probably get the beige strawllers. I don't like tight curls.
I follow on the blog and fb!
My dd's hair is blond and thin. Really hard to do much with!
I love the blue ones :)
My daughter has a short bob, but curls easily with a curling iron. I bet the swrawllers would be fun to try!
I follow the blog and "like" you on fb :)
With my girlie's hair, I would use the blue ones. Even when her hair has that frizzy thing going on, I just pull it back in little pig tails and she looks sooo cute with her "party hair"!
BLess your heart, anyone older than 40 would know where to put the bobby pin, LOL, we used to curl our hair on these...plastic rollers held in with either a bobby pin or clippie ( and in high school, I used to SLEEP on them, sigh, what we do for beauty) My hair is short, short now, but my precious Abigail has hair almost to her hips. Love you blog site.

my oldest daughter has long dirty blond hair that is curly her hair looks good in everyone of your hairstyles that we've tried. On the other hand my youngest girl has mid length~stringy, dirty blond hair that is so thin we need to straighten it all the time and we can only do a few of your hairstyles on her. i think the pink 8 inch hair strawllers would work perfect on both of my girls.
Probably the beige :)
My DD's hair is light brown, kinda in between medium and long at the moment (but she does have her bangs cut)....and her hair is on the thin side (like her mommy).
Both of my girls have hair to their waist and straight.
Love to curl their hair and try all your hairdos on them!!!
I love the pink curlers!!!!
The green ones would work for both my daughters hair and mine.
im a follower on fb! and we LOVE your site. we get on it almost every morning (6am) just to look at ideas for their hair that day. thanks for all the ideas
My daughter would like the pink the best.

My girls hair is long, and it is thick! It is hard to curl and curls don't often last very long. This product would be fun to try out.

3/8 5" strawllers will work perfect on my daughter's hair her hair is long and thin and i've been doing all your hairstyles from your blog on her; it is so good having new ideas i was running low of my own creations.
I believe that is very important for a girl to look GREAT EVERYDAY!!!!

I would probably get the orange ones. A tighter curl but not too tight. :)
cheryl2mgibson @ yahoo.com
I would like the orange Strawllers. My daughter's hair doesn't hold curl very well, so I would compensate by making my curls a little tighter than yours to begin with.
I have 2 daughters one with long, staight, light brown hair and the other has short, wavy, dark brown hair.

My hair is short and thick, I usually straighten it because it has natural curl that can get out of hand. My daughter's hair is medium long (about the lenghth of the princess' now) and it is straight and very fine (difficult to fix, for sure)!
I follow your blog!
I would use the blue ones.
probably the orange (3/4)

I follow the princesses blog
I follow your wonderful blog!
My very own Princess has long baby fine blonde hair. No bangs all one length, makes some of the styles a little scant looking but beautiful none the less.
my daughter and I both have long sandy blonde hair (lower back length). she has thicker hair then I do though (oh for the days to be young again and have thicker hair!)
fb fan and follow your blog!
My hair is red, long, thick and wavy. My daugheters hair, however, is very, very thin, blonde, we are trying to grow out her bangs (thanks to you showing us what we can do with them), and it is long.
I like the orange ones.

I am very much a fan on fb. =)
My daughters hair is long and Very curly underneath and the top is stick straight. So weird. Makes it hard to do her hair some days.
The Blue ones they might start off a little tighter but after an hour they relax.
I follow you on your blog
My daughter has short(she cut herself), blonde, straight, thin hair.
Her hair looks adorable short and wavy!!! Too cute!!
I like the green ones!
Thanks!
I follow your blog and I am a fan on FB! Thanks!
My daughter has perfectly straight hair! Right now it is just below her shoulders. She loves to use curlers, but there is so much I can do w/ her hair! My hair has always been wavy, so I love following your blog to see what I can try w/ her hair!
THANK YOU~
I think the beige ones would be the best for all the girls in my house.
I'm a follower and a fan!
I've got four daughters, two with thick wavy hair and two with very fine, straight hair. My hair is just wavy enough that it's hard to wear it straight, but not wavy enough to wear it curly.
The beige ones. Larger curls would work better for us.
We follow on FB and Blog

I have one DD with very curly hair.
I dont have any kids, but have very long, super straight, thin blonde hair myself which I love to expiriment with :) I hope thats ok too!
I am a fan on FB also! (Costume Queen)
I like the beige too.
I love the way it turned out! I think this would be a great thing to try on my daughter. She has blond hair that touches just below her sholders and I have a hard time leaving it down since her hair is so fine. I think these would be a great way to give it some volume!
I would use anything but the beige actually... sadly they dont come in purple but i like the blue ones :)
P.S. I also follow you on the blog and fb!
P.P.S. I think I'd use the 3/8" ones since her hair doesn't hold a curl, they'd probably start out tight but loosen real quick.
my daughter has straight, thick hair these would be so cute!
i follow your blog
I think I would go with orange. My DD's boh have long blond staight hair. I want to cut it short but my hubby won't let me. I am a fb fan.
I follow you on facebook, too! ;D
My daughter has medium length, medium texture hair. She'd LOVE a set of these!
We'd use the 3/4" strawllers on my daughter's hair. They'd be tight at first but perfect after a while...
I'm a blog follower, too!
I'd pick the 1" beige ones. That's the size curling iron I use on my own hair when I want it wavy.
My daughters hair is medium length, and straight.
I have two girls. One is very light blonde, and very straight. The other is more honey blonde, and has a bit of curl in it. Her hair would probably do really well in these.
thanks!!
I would use the orange 3/4 inch strawlers. I'd like to get some actual curl not just larger amounts of body in my hair.
My hair is brown, about shoulder length right now. I am in the process of growing it out. It has some layers and a few reddish highlights. I have fine hair that is about average in thickness, and it's got some body and wave to it. It's pretty soft and tangle free because I rarely use any product or dryers or irons on it. I want to keep it that way.
My daughters hair is the same as mine was when I was a child. She's is almost three and has silky slippery to handle hair.
I follow your Princess Hairstyle blog and "like" it on Facebook.
Love it!
I would use the beige strawlers. I don't like the tight curls either.
I am a follower on facebook and the website!!
My daughters hair is blonde, thin, and just below her shoulders.
i would like the 5" blue rollers
my daughter has semi-long hair (shoulder blade length). her hair is SUPER fine and doesnt hold a curl for very long. i am hoping that these rollers will work. i just started following your blog. :)
I have 3 little girls with all different types of hair. So I would have to have 3 different size strallers. White, beige and green. My 6 year old has medium length, thin hair. It is a beautiful brown, but grows in all directions. Difficult to find hair styles that work for her. My 4 year old has the most gorgeous waist length sandy blond hair that grows perfectly and any hairstyle I try works on her.My youngest 3 year old has short hair, still growing it out. Beautifully dark brown that is very soft and fine.
I follow your blog and love it.
I am a facebook fan!! angelabvilla@gmail.com
The pink ones, definitely!
My hair is shoulder length, brown, and naturally curly which I generally straighten ever day. My little girl's is a little past her shoulders and blonde, and very soft!
My hair is so STRAIGHT and fine.It doesn't hold curl,if i put any hairspray in it it gets weighed down and bye bye curl.I would love to try some curlers that work!
My daughters hair has a natural wave to it and curls beautifully.
i follow you on Facebook
I like the 5" blue ones.
My hair reaches the middle of my back. It's brown, straight, and won't curl with a curling iron.
I'm a follower of your blog. I love your hair ideas!!
I like the 5" pink ones. I think that small, tight curls look cuter. :)
I can honestly say I love your blog. I only wish my mom had as much skill to do this on my hair, LOL. Instead, I risk doing it on my own head with a mirror. I began following about half a year ago.
I would probably use the orange or the blue ones.
I follow your blog and love it!
My hair is a medium brown with natural curl and a little past shoulder length. My 4yo daughter has light brown, fine, straight hair that is a little past her shoulders. My 2yo daughter has dark brown, thick hair, with a little wave/curl at her ends that is shoulder length.
I would get the orange to use in my daughter's hair. She'd need a smaller size to get curls that would stay.
My hair is super-short, and naturally gray even though I'm way too young for that. So, it is brown for those who don't know better. ;)
My daughters' hair: One has long, regular thickness, dark blonde hair with the most beautiful natural highlights. It takes curl really well then, loses it just about as quickly. The other has a short, LIGHT blonde, bob because she hates having her hair done. She sure looks cute with her short hair, though.
I follow your blog. (I hope I win!)
I would use the 8" orange ones on my daughter's hair : )
I follow your blog and facebook : )
I use your blog for my little girl's hair. I'm a pony tail gal and really know nothing about hair. My little girl loves for her hair to be done and your website has allowed that.
She also follows the blog with me and picks out what we will try next.
Her hair is almost all the way down her back and is a light brown with lighter highlights. We finally have the bangs grown out so we no longer have to fight with them.
Thank you for taking the time to help moms like me out : )
For my Daughter's hair, I would most likely use either the 5in blue, or 5in orange.
I follow your blog, & am a fan on facebook!
My Princess has hair past her shoulder blades & is starting to get thicker YAY! It's all one length, I refuse to give her bangs. lol she LOVES having her hair done all fancy every day, she truly is a Princess! ;)
I would like the beige 1 1/8
My daughter and I both have fairly long, thin, fine hair which doesnt hold curl very well. Hopefully we will have better luck with these!
I follow of Facebook!
I enjoy doing my sisters' hair. We use your blog a lot for ideas! One of my sisters has thin, shoulder length dirty blonde hair that is pretty straight, and she loves to have it curled! We usually use a flat iron and it holds pretty well, but this would be fun to try! My other sister has slightly longer, medium-thick brown hair with some slight waves underneath.
We would probably use the beige or orange ones.
I follow on facebook.
We would probably use the orange ones, my daughters and my hair have NO natural curl so we would probably need that one :)
Both my daughter and I have long hair :)
I am a fan on facebook!
I would probably use the blue for my daughter's pageant hair
My oldest daughter has long blondish brown hair
My youngest daughter has shorter brown hair
I'm a facebook fan...
My daughter and I both have straight fine hair, so I'm always looking for things to do with it. So impressed with the blog!

I think the green or beige strawlers would work best for our household.
I follow the princess' blog!
Both my daughter and I have thick, wavy hair. My daughter's hair is a light brown. Mine is a darker brown.
Beige and green would work for my daughter and I - nothing smaller though....too tight! ;o)
My daughter, who just turned seven, has just below the shoulder length thick auburn hair. Holds curl very well so we have to be careful of not getting the curl too tight, or like you said, frizzy fro! I also have very thick hair, down to my waist so these curlers would be fun! Thanks!! Lori
I found your blog about a week ago and LOVE it. Every morning my daughter and I pick out a hairstyle together - it makes our mornings even more fun! I also follow you on facebook. Thank you! Lori
I would most likely get the tan as well! So cute!
My daughters hair is a short bob too!
I follow you!!!
We would love the orange ones! Thanks for the chance to win!

I have twin girls. One with thick brown hair and one with thin blonde hair. Go figure!
I think the 8" orange strawllers would be best for me!

I have dead straight, waist length hair. But my sister has shoulder length and extremely curly hair.
The green strawllers would probably work best for us. :)
I'm thinking the 5" ORange 3/4 inch strawllers would probably work best for my daughters' hair.
I "like" you on Facebook!
And finally, I have two daughters (well, three, but one is only 3 mos old with NO hair). My oldest has SUPER thick, SUPER straight hair...and my 2nd daughter has thinner hair but it has ALOT of body. They're both half chinese, so it's totally weird that they ended up with such vastly different hairstyles.
Laura Wilkinson: I would get the beige or the green

Laura Wilkinson: I have long thick hair. My one daughter has hers just above her shoulders and my other daughter has long hair.

love the way her hair turned out! I think maybe I'd try the blue... my hair is naturally curly when I let it air dry, hers is not!

as you can see from my avatar, my daughter's hair is fine and straight. It is now a bit shorter than the photo, we like it a little shorter than shoulder length in the summertime, easier to manage and care for. I've crimped her hair using my old fashioned 80's crimper, but have not yet curled her hair using rollers... would love to try!

we would like the beige or green ones because we like big, loose curls.

we actually have all different kinds of hair at our house.
mine is fine but thick and medium length.
oldest dd has fine, thin hair and very long.
dd #2 has course, thick hair and short.
dd #3 has fine, thick hair and medium length.
dd #4 has fine, thin hair and short.
dd #5 has very, very fine hair and very little of it (she's only 3 months old).
Both of us have strawberry blonde hair, med. thickness with just a hint of a wave. Mine is sholder length and she is only one, but we still manage to use some of your fun ideas when we do her hair, she has a ton :)
love the blog, (have told several friends) and check out facebook from time to time :)
I would want the 5" Green Strawllers.
Dancehottie1621@aol.com
I would get the 8" orange ones.
My daughter's hair is waist length and straight. It's light brown. So far we haven't had much luck getting curls to hold in it, because it's a pretty slick and doesn't have a lot of texture. I would love to try the strawlers!
I am a FB fan
The Strawlers I would want to use for the hair type in my home are the green Strawlers or the orange Strawlers. We like both loose and medium tight to loose curls here!!
We have a couple of different types of hair in our home. My own hair is dark brown, very thick and very long and VERY straight. Needs a lot of help to curl...well, let's face it. It needs help to do ANYTHING but lay straight. ;-) My little princess' hair is blonde, long and fine and wavy so it curls EASILY! My tiniest princess' hair is dark brown, medium length and curly in the back and straight on the sides! CRAZY! But, it curls easily also. You know what they say, variety is the spice of life!!
I'm a FB fan/liker!
I would choose the 8" Green ones! I love big bouncy curls
for me I'd use the green ones.. for my youngest I'd do the pink 5 inch ones!! I think they'd be adorable!

My 3.5yo has really fine short brown/black hair
I love your blog! Just came across it today as I have been trying to figure out how to put my daughters hair up in a bun for her ballet recital/pictorial. She has really thin/fine short hair and I am able to tie it up but when it twist it into a bun, it's still smaller than a quail egg!
I like pink. Thanks.

I saw these a few weeks ago on another hair blog and thought they were very cute. My daughters' hair is shorter like the princess', so I'd probably go for the biggest ones (green) to get more waves than tight curls.

My daughters both donated their hair a few months ago to Locks of Love as well. My oldest daughter (7 yrs.) has hair that looks almost exactly like your adorable daughter's. It is the same color and length and looks to be about the same thickness. My younger daughter (5 yrs.) also has very thick hair, but it is darker than my older daughter's. When we cut it for Locks of Love, we discovered waves in the back that I had no idea were there because her hair has always been so long. My oldest daughter and I both have stick straight hair with not even a hint of wave, so it's taken some time to get used to it, but I'm learning, and now I love it.

I think I would try one size smaller on my dd. She has long blond hair. She is hopping to have it grow past her bottom over the summer and then donate in to Locks of love right before school starts!
We follow!!!
love the flower in her hair!
Oh I've never heard of these before! My daughter's hair is dark blonde,long and somewhat wavy. I think we'd like the green too or the beige because she doesn't like it too curly. Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)netscape(DOT)net
I'd use the large blue Strawlers.
