Advantages: shiny, full of volume curls! Disadvantages: Still time consuming!
I used these a few weeks ago at my friend's house and I was really impressed!
When I go out to a wedding or a big occasion I like to spend some time getting ready and making my hair look nice. I have tried using curling tongs and GHDs to curl my hair but i'm always getting it uneven or burning myself or I get half way throguh and decide i'm fed up!!
I went to my friend's house and used her roller set and I was really impressed with them! They heated up very quickly and were really easy to use.
