Summary: Great results
Comment: I've used these rollers for years with great results on my long to medium length hair, and just finally getting my second set. The originals are still working but the velvet is wearing thin and I was afraid they wouldn't still be available when I finally did need them. The one thing I don't like about them is the bulkiness of the clips when traveling.

Summary: Great for travel!
Comment:
I rarely use rollers, but needed something to take with me when I travel. These work wonderfully, and take up very little space in my luggage. Amazon always has the very best prices on everything!

Summary: Sent Back!
Comment: Yikes! This is the first thing I have ever sent back to Amazon. The rollers get so hot you can't touch them anywhere. The clips to hold them in place are really weak. I have medium-thick hair. Perhaps people with thinner hair would have less trouble. The plastic top broke off the second time I tried to use them. This is the second Conair hair appliance I have owned. They don't impress me much. I can't imagine I would ever buy a Conair product again.

Summary: Great for that extra volume!!
Comment: I love these curlers. My set is about 7 yrs old! The top is broken off and I've lost 2 pins, but I just use a couple jumbo sized hair clips and it stays in. It does take a little practice, but I'm done rolling in 5 minutes.
I have fine, longer (4-5" pass shoulders)hair. When I know I'm going to use the rollers I add some moose/gel before blow-drying. I section off my hair and spray aerosol hairspray on it. My hair clings to the roller and stays in better, plus it gives great volume. I also give a good spray all over after I'm done. I usually put on make-up while the curlers are in. I take them out and have "Super Model" hair, according to my hubby! I let the curls cool and relax then run my fingers through and I'm done.
Another tip: Try rolling them in different directions....as in roll one under and the other up.
Hope this helps...

Summary: Bulky for travel but great nonetheless!
Comment: The jumbo rollers are a great size for adding soft curls and volume. The set heats very quickly so it's also easy to reheat the curlers, if 5 rollers aren't enough. The ends don't get abnormally hot (as cited for other sets). The unit also cools very quickly, which is great for last minute packing. The only two points that kept this from being a 5-star rating are: 1. the size is rather bulky. It would have been more convenient if the unit was smaller and with the 5 rollers in a row. To keep the lid from flying open in my suitcase, I secure the unit with a large rubber band and then put it in a large ziplock bag. (The bag protects my clothes in case the lid shatters.) 2. The unit has a well for wire clips but doesn't include any. Instead, the unit comes with large plastic claw-style clips that don't fit inside the unit and take up a fair amount of room. If you prefer wire clips, be sure to save the paperwork in the box. The paperwork includes an order form for the wire clips, which are very difficult to find online or in stores. However, after ordering, I received a letter that they are currently out of stock and to call in another month for a status. All in all, I'm happy with this purchase; and it's much easier than traveling with my full set of 12 jumbo rollers.
