    Want to incorporate a little '60s screen siren style into your 2012 lifestyle? Who doesn't? Here's the big reveal: Rollers actually take less time to use than a curling iron. Roll 'em up, clip 'em up, let them cool, remove, and spray. It all takes less time than individually sectioning hair, wrapping it around a curling iron, and then finally removing, piece by piece.

    T3 Voluminous Hot Rollers, $99, available at Beauty.com.
