Time savers and easy to use

Advantages: easy to use, curls well, not too harsh on your hair
Disadvantages: could do with a few more rollers for longer /thicker hair

I have very thick hair which comes down about 3-4 inches below my shoulders. My hair does have a natural wave but not in a nice sexy wavey fashion, more like a dragged through a hedge backwards kind of look! Usually I straighten my hair but I have always fancied trying something different. I got some curling tongs which worked a lot better then I thought they would but took FOREVER to do! I saw these rollers on amazon and have got an ionic hairdryer ...
...a try. They where quite easy to put in and there was enough to do all my hair but only just. The instructions where not very helpful and gave no idea how long to leave them in for so i just left them until they went cold. Putting them in was also quite easy as they stay cool around the ends and they are covered in felt (or something similar) so your hair doesnt slip and you dont burn yourself! They did curl my hair really well but i still ended ...

Remington Hair Envy Rag Rollers

Advantages: Case, fantastic soft curls, do not damage hair
Disadvantages: Wire become too bent to be of use, heavy, not for short hair

Bought these just after Christmas after having perm that didn't work and needed something to create some curls in the mess that was my shoulder length hair. I had never used heated rollers before so was not at all sure how to use them or if they would work. Was very pleasantly surprised at the results. They take 30 mins to heat up and are fairly easy to put in. Your hair really needs to be 5-6" long or they will not stay in as the ends do not have ...
...fairly heavy. I found keeping them in for the 30 mins or so needed for the curls to take required the use of a shower cap to take the weight off the rollers as they fell out every time I took a step. Another thing to be aware of is that with continued use (3-4 times/week) I found that unless you unbend then VERY carefully after each use in the exact reverse of the way you bent them, then the ends become shorter and shorter as the wire inside the ...

A great set of rollers!

Advantages: shiny, full of volume curls!
Disadvantages: Still time consuming!

...think the price is reasonable- John Lewis retail this at £18 and when I've looked at other similar items they seem to be around this price too. I am heading out this weekend to John Lewis' and intend to buy myself a set. The box was neat and compact and so wont take up too much space in my dressing table! I was really pleased with this! ...

NClarke Heated Rollers Review

Advantages: produces some quite nice waves
Disadvantages: takes FOREVER to achieve!!!!!

CARMEN CURLERS

Advantages: curl quickly
Disadvantages: take some time to fully heat

...something cheap. When i saw carmen girls i had heard they were tacky and childish but to my surprise they were great !! These curlers are amazing, they heat up in a short amount of time( but i've had quicker) and once fully heated they curl well that last all day without going flat or frizzy and dont really need hairspray,also there is a stand attatched to the curler to put on surfaces without burning plus it takes a matter of seconds to curl my ...
