Velcro Roller
Consumers are turning to velcro rollers for voluminous hair, with an average of 12.6K searches for velcro rollers in the United States every month. Interest has grown 62.2% since last year with brands like Hot Tools and Babyliss topping the searches for the products.
Keywords associated with the search include specific needs, such as rollers for fine, short, long and medium-length hair.
While there are brands among the top searches, consumers are more likely to seek out a retailer such as Amazon, Target or Walmart. This indicates that the space is still early stages, and there's opportunity for a brand to own the look.
