Conair Hot Rollers for Long, Medium & Short Hair, 12 Ceramic Flocked 1½-Inch and 1¾-Inch Heated Hair Rollers with Clips, Hot Curlers for Women, Volume & Curls, Amazon Exclusive

My hair is very thick, so thick I cannot let it air dry, because it takes hours and hours. So I have to blow-dry it. It comes out looking limp and blah no matter what kind of brush or product I use. So my solution, to give it some body, was nearly always to use a curling iron. Curling irons are really hot and damage your hair with frequent use. Hot Rollers to the rescue! These things are so nifty. Plug it in, I let it heat up for between 5-10 minutes (while I'm taking a shower), and then roll up the hair, and leave them in while I do other stuff like brush teeth, do makeup, etc etc. Take out and hair has pretty waves and body! I love that it fits into my routine so easily, I don't have to spend 30 minutes curling my hair. The rollers may get slightly hot to the touch, but it's way less heat than a curling iron so they are much better for your hair! At first I started out using a Tresemme Heat Protectant spray, but putting product in before using the rollers made my hair a bit "crunchy" feeling. I don't use any product anymore and hair looks great. I have noticed that the indicating dot on turns white before the rollers are really hot. They are warm, and useable, but if you want defined curls, wait longer than 5 minutes, and leave them in your hair for more than 15 minutes. The only nitpik I have with these is that there aren't enough rollers to do ALL of my hair. If you have very thick and fairly long hair like me, you may find you run out of rollers. Trying to use very large, thick sections of hair for each roller is problematic and I gave up on that. But since you start from the top of your head, it adds body and volume to the top layers, and the very bottom layer of hair I either leave alone, or give a very quick curl with the curling iron just at the ends. I use the "superclips" that come with the package. I did order the wire clips since everyone seems to say they are better. I couldn't really figure out how to secure them. The purple clips are really easy to use and I don't see any "lines" like some other people complain about.

I decided to go back to old-school rollers for a little volume, and I’m so glad I did. They are well-made, heat up very quickly, and give me just the right amount of volume. The clips are not as sturdy as I was hoping, but they still do the trick.

These probably wouldn’t work for short hair as advertised. I have shoulder length and they are fine - just the right sizes and the speed of heating. But to have all of these clips - how do you keep them stored well? I had to purchase a little box for them - it seems the manufacturer should provide something for those clips when not being used.

If you have thin, lifeless hair that refuses to hold a curl, you need these Conair Hot Rollers. I was previously using velcro rollers, and they were a nightmare—constantly snagging and pulling out my delicate strands. These rollers are flocked, meaning they are incredibly smooth and glide right out without any pulling or breakage. ~ My Routine for All-Day Volume: ~ I apply mousse to my wet scalp and blow-dry my chin-length hair. ~ I set my dry hair with these Hot Rollers. My results? Bouncy, full hair from top to bottom that actually lasts from morning until night. Why I Absolutely Love Them? Easy Maintenance: My hairstyling is now "easy-peasy" and lasts for days. I can even sleep on it! The next morning, I touch up the back of my scalp using a few rollers (often first with a little mousse) to refresh the volume. Healthier Hair: The best part is that I’m no longer pulling my hair out with velcro or breaking it off with constant brushing. Because I’m experiencing so much less breakage, my hair isn't just looking fuller—it is actually growing out thicker and healthier. If you are tired of damaging your hair just to get some volume, switch to these Coniar Hot Rollers. They have truly transformed my hair routine!

I've used a number of different Conair hot roller sets over the years, and they were always long-lasting products that were reliable. I regrettably got rid of my last set of flocked rollers, primarily because my hair style had changed from curly, bouncy medium-length hair to sleeker, smoother shoulder-length hair, and that set simply had been taking up space under the vanity because I used other styling tools to get "my look." However, when I found these larger rollers, much larger than my old set, I knew I had to try them. Although it's good set, it's not great. For my hair's length, style & texture, ideally I need a set of Super Jumbos Rollers (1.75") to smooth, style, & add shine, This set has 4 of this size, so that's better than nothing, I guess. However, it's very difficult for me to get the look that I want. I do my crown first with the Super Jumbos, then move to the lower layers with the purple Jumbos (1.5"). The lower layers are still get too much curl and I am still working on the best timing & set. Right now, I basically have two different set times - some time for the Jumbo on my lower hair, and triple the time for the Super Jumbo on my crown. Conair also makes a Mega Jumbo (2") set of 5 rollers branded as Infiniti Pro, which I picked up at wally world. I suspect I will end up transitioning to using the Mega Jumbos on the Crown and Super Jumbo on the lower layers. Unfortunately, this means 2 sets on the vanity, plugged in & using all that electricity. I still would prefer Super Jumbo on the crown. Life could be worse but I really wish there was a better solution than using 2 tools to get the style that I want. Compared to my previous Conair models, this set does not seem to heat up as much. The Jumbos seem to get hot enough, but the Super Jumbos and Mega Jumbos need to get hotter. Perhaps this is a feature of these larger rollers, that they can't retain heat or lose it quicker? Regardless, the biggest rollers are not hot enough. I deducted 1 star for the low heat in the largest rollers. Lastly, like others have stated, the clips are the pits - just terrible. They leave bumps and marks, and I actually have to go back with a curling iron on top layers. Give me the metal pins of torture any day - those worked and didn't crimp hair. As a side note, the Mega Jumbo clips are designed differently, with out as many combs, and they don't crimp the hair. So, Conair already has a better clip design in one of its products. I deducted 1 star for bad clips in this product. Regardless, these rollers do what they should - create a smooth style with shine & body. Conair already makes a set of 12 purple Jumbo rollers (1.5"). If Conair would make a set of 8 to 10 Super Jumbo rollers (1.75") that gets hot enough and uses an improved clip design, I would pay $40 to $50 for it. I bet others would too.

So I plugged in these beauties and I waited, and waited, and waited. After 45 minutes the red light was still on; it never turned to white. I unplugged them and let them cool down. After the cool down, I heated them up again for 10 minutes and tried to put them in my hair, using the set of metal clips that I was sure would work better than the plastic ones I've read about. The metal clips worked fine on the top and back of my head, but didn't work on the sides. So I used the purple plastic clips that came with them on the sides with my hair sort of hang gliding in clips that don't stay where they are put. However, even after a complete cool down and a 10 minutes re-heat, they were...hmm, let me think, oh...TOO HOT!! The edges which you are supposed to hold, were pretty hot after only ten minutes of heat. When I took them out I didn't dare put a comb in my hair but just fluffed and there is some minimal curl but mostly a bad beachy mess. I think if I leave them on for 15 minutes and then try to do my hair, they could work. I think it depends on how much of a burn I can take from the edges, which are not supposed to be hot. I'll give them another try; maybe I'll get better at it and update this review. But, ultimately they will probably be going back.

This is my 3rd set of heated rollers. I love them because I can set my hair quickly and off I go. I have very fine and thin hair, so the flocked rollers are the only ones that do not damage or tangle my hair. Also the flocking helps hold my thin hair on the rollers. One down side for me with this set, is the roller fasteners. Because my hair is so thin, the roller holders do not hold the rollers in my hair. I saved clips from one of my older, long gone sets, and these work good for me. If I had thicker hair, I am sure the roller holders that come with this set would work fine. This set heats very quickly, so no time at all and your done.

Great roller set using it everyday. Works perfectly and easy to roll.
