Conair Pro Ceramic Tools Porcelain Series Roller Hair Setter, 12 Count

This hot roller set is dual voltage. It is good for traveling outside the US. The issue is that it is only 85 watts so it takes very very long time to get ready for the job. (Conair has two or three other roller sets with 580 watts or more--the one with 580 watts heat up and ready for use in two minutes!! And it is only $9 more). This set does warm up with 90 seconds as advertised but it is not hot enough. I waited for about 30-40 minutes before I used it. The clips that come with this unit do not work so I bought jumbo clips separately. If you don't need a dual voltage, buy a stronger watts unit for faster heat. BTW, 12 rolls are not enough for thick hair. The rolls size are a bit too small for big curl results. I spent about an hour to set my hair with this unit. But, the process would be cut by half, if I had have used a strong watts unit. I need a dual voltage set so I don't have many choices. Update.....a month later... Now I use it in Thailand. I am very surprised to learn that this unit heat up within 10 minutes!!!! With more experience, I can do my hair to look professional in less than 30 minutes. Everyone said, the curl looks natural and look like I walk out from the salon. I would recommend this product to all travelers. PS: I am not sure whether this product damages my hair. But I guess all products with high heat will eventually damage hair.

Listen, I don't know what some other reviewers thought they were buying when they bought this set, but it works, it;s cheap, it;s well-made and incredibly convenient. Electric hair setters have been around since the sixties and have changed very little. The rollers get hot, yes - they have to to do their job. Even used a cold curling iron? But these rollers will not burn your fingers unless you hold them closed in your hand for long minutes, then I wonder if they wouldnt cool to the point of non burning anyway.. Pick them up, roll your hair, and clip them in place. The clips take a time or two to understand how they work, and yes, they can be a little uncomfortable, but, woman, you are putting curlers in your hair...do you expect them to feel pleasant? These heat up quickly, and curl nicely. If you have a ton of heavy hair, you will want extra rollers. My hair is collar length and I am fine with these. I use them for body, curve, and bounce, I do not expect to look like Shirley Temple when I am done. If you leave them in a few minutes, you get light body that will last a few hours, especially if you spray or gel. If you leave them in ten min or so, you get long lasting curls. If you heat them for ten min they're good to go for a quick pick me up, heat them longer, the curl lasts longer. Follow the directions, use the thing the way it's meant o be used and it's a life-saver. I took the with me to a weekend wedding - series of parties, dinners, ceremony. They were way quicker than curling iron, I could do my make up while they heated and get dressed while I wore them Loved them! Now the set resides in a vanity drawer, fits nicely, and I heat them up right in the drawer when I need them. If you want a wonderful, inexpensive tool that's excellent for what it is MEANT to do, buy this one. Buy two - keep one in your desk at work.

I have shoulder length, thick hair. This set is very convenient for traveling. I think it would work better with medium to thick hair. The set heats up within a few minutes but there is no indication when the rollers are hot. Instructions indicate best heated with lid closed. I was hesitant to heat the rollers with the soft plastic lid closed but it worked well with no damage to the lid or case. There is NO on/off switch. You must UNPLUG the set with each use. In my opinion, this could be a fire hazard if some has the plastic lid closed and forgets to unplug the set. The rollers give a decent curl which lasted longer than I expected. The small rollers are too small for me so I will order some larger rollers and add to the set. Also, the “large” rollers are really “medium” size. Overall, it’s a good set for traveling. I would have preferred an ON/OFF switch just for safety purposes.

I ordered these to take on a cruise (haven't left yet, but I will update later). After three uses, here are my thoughts: 1) they are super small and will be perfect for travel 2) there are twelve rollers and that is not enough for me, but is probably enough for most people 3) they do get hot enough, just not instantly (like it says on the box) The first time I let these curlers heat up, I thought they were broken; they just didn't get that hot. The next time, I let them heat up for a good 15-20 minutes and they did get quite hot (not as hot as my regular Conair curlers, but hot enough). Also, you need to leave them in for a good while if you want a solid curl. All the way until the curler gets cool, is a good rule of thumb. If you really want a good set, try a thermal setting spray, like Redken's Hot Sets 22. That will give you curl for a good long time. PROS: * Size - they are small and will be ideal in a suitcase * 12 curlers - that's as many as you get in many full size hot roller sets * Curler size - There are four small and 8 medium curlers - no large. I like them small because I want a tight curl - this may be really undesirable for some people who want big waves. If that's the case, just put more hair on the curler. * Price - the price is perfect for this set CONS: * they don't heat up "instantly" - that's just silly * I need three more rollers, but I'll use a curling iron as well

This is a great set of hot rollers if you have short hair or want tight curls. These are NOT large. There isn't a product description so I took a chance. The "large" is just over 1" not quite 1 1/4". The "medium" is just under 1". That is the measurement of the top. The actual roller is slightly smaller. I really want Large rollers. I used to have the hot rollers from years ago. These are like the smaller sizes of the three in those sets. I returned these and bought the Conair Heatwaves set with the Jumbo-1 1/2" and Super Jumbo-1 3/4' rollers. I hope these will work in my longer hair. Both sets come with the wire clips and NOT the plastic comb clips. Preferred by me. The clips in this small set are much smaller than the old school set. They will probably work fine. The on/off switch in non-existent. Just plug and un-plug. They are a great size for travel and very light weight. Wish they were bigger.

I too ordered the Conair rollers with the black case and purple rollers indicated in description and picture. What I received was a grey case with large grey rollers and peach small rollers in a cheap plastic case with the name Infiniti Pro by Conair on it. While the color really doesn’t matter, this is also following my need to purchase the rollers following my ordering a different set of Conair rollers from Amazon which arrived without rollers in the box, but replaced with a can of American Beauty refried beans. I wrote a review, but Amazon or Conair chose not to post it. The picture is above. Not sure what the issue is but these were more expensive than the first set I ordered but still the order was wrong. I don’t even see this product being sold by Amazon site so who is fulfilling the orders? . I also noticed that Amazon doesn’t sell American Beauty canned products, leading me to believe these issues are from Conair’s end. Will not order products from Conair again. Hope this review makes it to the review site.

I bought these to use when traveling, I love how compact the case is. It heats up super fast and the rollers work really well. I had no trouble handling the hot rollers and was able to set them in my hair without burning my fingers. However, I was struggling with the metal pins, but I bought some claw-style clips to use instead. If you are used to working with hot rollers, these should be super easy to use. The case comes with a little handle that makes it easy to carry. I love the small size, besides being great for travel, it doesn't take up a lot of room on my vanity either so I can grab these quickly when I feel like using hot rollers. Definitely recommend!

I like the Conair products. I have their FLAT IRON, CURLING IRON, BLOW DRYER and BLOW DRY BRUSH. I am very happy with all the products. I trust the brand. When I read the reviews for the CONAIR HOT CURLERS, there were complaints about the curlers not getting very hot. I decided to check for myself. I got the curlers and read the instructions, even though I have been using hot curlers for decades....., just to see if there was anything different. BINGO THERE WAS! The description of the product in the AMAZON add, says the RED DOT on one of the curlers will turn WHITE when curlers are ready and it does. The INSTRUCTION SHEET tells you that when the RED DOT turns WHITE, the curlers are ready for use. HOWEVER, if you prefer HOTTER CURLERS let them heat for an additional 10 minutes. I do prefer hotter curlers, so I let them warm for 10 minutes longer and they were VERY HOT to the touch. I am so happy with the hot curlers. The manufacturer needs to include that info. in their adds. Most people don't read instructions on something as simple as curling your hair. Love the curlers!
