CONAIRHot Rollers Hair Curlers for Long, Medium and All Hair | Heated Rollers with Roller Clips Included | 1 1/2-inch and 1 3/4 inch Rollers | Amazon Exclusive

I currently use a 1.5 inch curling iron and bought these hot rollers to to reduce the amount of damage to my hair. My hair is shoulder length, fine and straight with no curl. I haven't used hot rollers in years but I remember they made a very tight curl, which is not what I want. I thought using the same size hot rollers as my iron would work, but it didn't. There was almost no curl even after leaving them in until they cooled. So even though they didn't work for me, I believe they would work well for someone with longer hair so I gave the product 5 stars. The product heated up very quickly and was easy to use. I have used Conair products in the past and they have been reliable. BTW...this product does not come with the metal wire holders which I had used in the past and which worked well. Because the reviews indicated that the plastic comb-type clips left a dent in the hair, I purchased a no-name brand of wire holders along with the hot rollers. They didn't fit well at all. If you want metal wire holders that fit, I recommend ordering them from the same company as the hot rollers or order hot rollers that have the metal holders included in the description.

I had an original set of these years ago but gave them away when I got my hair cut short. Big mistake. With my hair longer now, I started thinking about how great they were and bought this new set. It's just like I remembered (with some minor changes in appearance) and has been great. They make my hair soft and bouncy, and fuller. I see a lot of complaints about the clips causing crimping at the roots but I haven't really had that problem. I learned with my first set that experimenting with the placement of the clips can help a lot. We had the same problem back in the days when we wet-rolled our hair and used giant bobby pins to hold the rollers. We had to place the bobby pins just right or would get a crimp in all the wrong places! As for complaints that the rollers get hot, if I have one that's too hot against my scalp, I just stick a Q-tip under it so it's not touching my scalp. I have not felt that the rollers are hotter than they should be.

Starting off, these rollers impressed me with how quickly they heat up, allowing me to jump right into styling within 5-10 minutes of plugging in (first drawback – no automatic shutoff, you must remember to unplug). Given they are a larger size than standard rollers, I was able to complete my whole head with a few rollers left over. I have thick hair just past my shoulders, so this was a big bonus for me as I have run out rollers with other sets in the past. In my opinion, these rollers will help you achieve a more voluminous, bouncy look vs a true spiral “curl”. See my photo for reference.While I generally love the overall results, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, these rollers get seriously hot! Be cautious, especially near the neck area. I’ve also noticed the included claw clips to hold rollers in place left slight dents and creases in my hair – for a smoother finish, I recommend purchasing more traditional U-shaped securing pins to hold rollers in place. You can get on Amazon as well. Finally, for long-lasting curls, make sure to leave the rollers in for an appropriate amount of time (minimum 15-20 minutes works best for me after some trial and error) and let them cool completely before removing them from your hair for longer lasting results. To speed up cooling if I'm in a hurry, I either step outside, stick my head in the freezer for a few seconds (lol) or do a cool shot with a diffuser. Don’t use a regular blow-dryer setting or it will just blow the hair around/out of the roller.Despite the minor drawbacks, I would still recommend the Conair Ceramic Hot Rollers, especially considering the price point and overall value. They're a great option for achieving voluminous waves in relatively minimal time. Just be mindful of the heat against your bare skin, make sure to unplug after use and invest in some traditional pins to avoid unwanted dents for a flawless finish.
