John Frieda Body & Shine Smooth Waves; 5 2-inch Jumbo Rollers

I recieved my rollers last weekend, and after using them several times, I can honestly say that this is the holy grail of jumbo hot rollers. The negative reviews I have read about this roller set are I believe due to unmet expectations. If you expect these rollers to "curl" your hair, then I will tell you right now you will be disappointed. 5 2 inch jumbo rollers are not made to "curl" hair. On the contrary, they are designed to smooth hair (almost like a flat iron), yet retain body and volume (unlike the effect you get with a flat iron). I LOVE that these rollers don't curl my hair at all. They give you a look that is similar to blow out (with a round brush) that you get from a salon. This is exactly what I want.I have had many sets of "jumbo" rollers, but most come in a 1 1/2 inch roller set that ends up curling the hair or making it flip out weird (think Nancy Drew from the 60's) at the ends. Still, I loved the volume these rollers gave, so I kept trying searching for a better set. I found one about 5 years ago made by Hot Tools that had 5 1 3/4 rollers, and while they worked better than the smaller rollers, they still were not quite there.I did buy a set by Babyliss last year that had a mix of jumbo and large rollers that worked well in theory, but for some reason they just left my hair with weird ridges and dents. They also flipped out the ends despite the larger size.So, I went into this purchase very skeptical that these would be any better, but I love everything about them. From the size, shape, and design of the set to the clips which work very well for me to the little pouch that you store your clips in--it all functions perfectly. I love the high heat option (don't even bother with the lower heat setting!) and the way my hair looks after use.I tend to wash my hair at night, blow it dry quickly, and then flat iron it. I have wavy hair that works well with some heat on it. The next morning before work I plug in my roller set, and throw the 5 rollers (1 in front, 1 in crown, 1 on each side, and one in back) while I do my make up. I only leave them in about 5-8 minutes. I then take them out and smooth my hair with a brush, and my hair has loads of smooth volume. I love it! These are great for second day hair as well--it just pumps your hair back up and smooths out any kinks from sleeping on it.This isn't a look like that of a curling iron (which I don't like anyway) or smaller roller set--and it isn't meant to be. I have medium-long hair (a few inches past my shoulders in long layers) and these rolers work perfectly for me. If your hair is much shorter or you have short layers, they may not work well.

I LOVE these rollers! They are exactly what I was looking for. I have longer hair, about 2 inches below my bra line and bought these to give my hair a little oomph. I have smaller rollers that give what others have called the "beauty pageant" look. It is a very pretty curl, but looks a little too done up if that makes sense. As other reviewers have stated, these curlers don't really Curl your hair, they just give it more of a finished look.Cons:- The rollers could stand to have one extra roller. My hair sections have to be thick in order to fit all my hair onto 5 rollers. If I had one extra it would be perfect! If you have thick hair it may be a little difficult to fit all your hair onto just 5 rollers.- The clips do leave a little bit of a mark on your hair once you take them out. I would love to find the metal holders big enough for these rollers. I plan on playing around with these clips a little bit more to see if there is a particular way you can place the clips in order to keep it from making a crease. It's not terrible, but it is noticeable.- I think these are probably better for longer hair. My daughter has shoulder length hair and we used them on hers and it didn't really do a whole lot to hers.Pros:- Gives your hair a "finished" look. It doesn't curl it, it makes it look like you've just been to a hair stylist and had your hair washed and blown dry.- Heats up quickly and on the highest setting they get really hot. Seems to make the look hold a little more.- the clips do feel secure on my hair, I don't feel as though they are going to fall out or anything. They keep the rollers in place on my head.- This may or may not be important to you but it does have a longer cord.- Put them in your hair and finish getting ready or making your coffee, whatever you may do in the morning, then pop them out and have a beautiful styled look that looks (and really is) effortless.

I have very long, thick wavy hair (it falls down to my bum crack)and as much as I love it, I don't have the time to deal with it every single morning, so it usually ends up in a ponytail or a bun.I keep it long for special events so I can style it into anything (I'm a singer so it's real life 24/7 stage hair hahaha).So, I was looking for a hot roller set that would give my hair some body and add shine. I wanted something that heated up properly and would be easy to do daily. THIS PRODUCT DOES IT! They heat up very quick (about 2 mins).This morning, I blow-dried my hair, rolled these suckers in, started on my makeup in about 10-15 minutes, I was brushing out the most luxurious, wavy hair. It was like Barbie hair, pageant hair - or porn star hair! lol.Anyway, I am really impressed with this product. Because I have so much hair, I plan to buy another so I can heat 10 at a time, make smaller sections and get even more curl and volume.I gave this product 4 stars because my only complaint is that the clips didn't hold all of my hair very well. I was able to remedy that by some strategically placed bobby pins in an "x" shape underneath the roller. I think if you don't have thick hair, this may not be a problem at all. One side of the comb clip is slightly longer. It would be better if it was even longer to really make the roller feel secure.I'll probably get some of those long, metal roller clamp thingies at the drug store and use them to secure the hair instead.Glad to have found something that makes me look like I made an effort in the morning :) Thanks

Love these, exactly what I expected. Not to get curly hair, just for a slight wave.

Justo lo que buscaba, y faciles de usar, al tener esponja no se resbalan y las pinzas hacen mas facil colocarlos.

Los compre pensando que serían ideales para viajar, pero creo no son prácticos para este fin .

Size is what I was looking for. Don't heat as well as I had hoped. Does give me the results I wanted but takes longer than had hoped.

Muy practicos y tamaño ideal para cabello largo , llegó muy bien empacando , no los encontraba en ninguna tienda departamental
