Full review
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 enough purchase to grip the hair, probably because they are 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 rag bends over on itself very easily. I can see me having to replace them within 6 months unless I unpick the stitching on the affected rollers and straighten the wire when I can see which way it has bent. I now have 3 rollers that are unusable as the wire is too short too bend. For that reason alone I would try another brand next time.
