Caruso Model Professional Molecular Steam Rollers with Shields, Petite (6-Count)

Rollers are easy to use. I have been using them for over 20 years.

I have had a Caruso Molecular Hairsetter for almost 20 years and would not use anything else to roll my hair. I ordered them from a TV commercial and to my amazement, they really worked! You just steam the roller (takes a few seconds), roll your hair while the shield is steaming, place the shield over the curl, then steam another roller, etc.. As soon as you finish with the last curl, you can begin removing the rollers from your hair, beginning with the first curl you rolled. The incredible thing is how quickly it curls your hair. It's almost like magic!. And the curls are soft and manageable. The steamer that I have (which I purchased from Celeste Company, Inc of Elkins Park, Ps) requires that you add baking soda to the water (it came with a little mini-measuring spoon so you knew exactly how much baking soda to add) and it is still working. A few years ago, I decided to buy another steamer in case my old one bit the dust. It was, after all, getting up in years! I purchased my second steamer from Helen of Troy L.P. of El Paso, TX. It was smaller and so was easier to pack for trips. It also did not require that you add anything to the water, so no need to take along any baking soda. Unfortunately, It lasted only a few months. Apparently, you are supposed to clean it once a month or so with a vinegar solution, which I neglected to do. On the other hand, I've never cleaned my first steamer and it's still going strong! The only precaution I take is to change the water and add fresh baking soda each time I use it. I was not happy with the Helen of Troy steamer. I later did an internet search for Celeste Company, but apparently they're no longer in business. Too bad! They strictly knew how to make steamers that lasts! If push comes to shove and I have to, I guess I will bite the bullet and buy another Helen of Troy steamer and religiously clean it every month!The foam on my old rollers are wearing out, so I finally decided to go online to see if I could find replacements. I was able to find them at Quick E Shop, through Amazon.com. It would be even better if I could replace just the foam inserts, because there's nothing wrong with the plastic part of the rollers. I think there was a time when you could buy just the foam inserts. Unfortunately, I didn't take advantage of that opportunity when I had it. In any case, I was really pleased with Quick E Shop. They had the best price and I was really happy with the rollers they sent me and how quickly I got them. I highly recommend them if you need to replace your Caruso steamer rollers.

I'm revising my review because it dawned on me yesterday after I wrote the below original review, that maybe my hair wasn't curling because I use moroccan oil in my hair when it's wet and then blow dry it and then use the curls. Today, I didn't put any product in my hair and used t he curlers and my curls are AMAZING! So, I stand corrected. I retract my old review and replace it with 5 stars. They've lasted through the Florida humidity and everything.Key Points-Common complaint is that the jumbo and large rollers are the same. They are NOT the same. The clip size is the same between the two, however the foam thickness is different. Put them side by side and you'll see.-Don't use oil products in your hair if you're going to use the curlers.-Don't do oil treatments or heavy conditioners in your hair before using curlers. This includes Olive Oil hair wraps.Original Review: I really wanted to like this product. I have long, very thick, semi-course hair and when I read all of the great reviews on this product, I was so excited to get it in the mail. After two weeks of using them daily with variations of time on the steamer, rolled with the clips that came with them or with regular roller clips, variations of time in my hair, used both with a blow dryer and without, used both with hair spray before curling, after, and non at all, etc. I can't get my curls to last longer than a few minutes. Within a few minutes, I'm left with a frizzy, ugly mess.I'm not experienced with curlers because of my hair type, but I'm really disappointed with these. I am returning them and will try something else, probably just regular hot rollers.I did want to note though that some people have said that it comes with 6 jumbo and 6 large and they they are one in the same size. They're not. If you look, the clip and the width of the round plastic part of the roller are the same size, however the actual foam part is larger on the jumbo than on the large.

It’s so hard to find Caruso petite hair rollers. I’ve been using steam rollers off and on for 35 years! Each time I do, even hair stylists think my hair is naturally curly!

I bought my Caruso ages ago and the foam on my old curlers disintegrated. It’s the only thing that works for my hair so I was so happy to find these. The covers are loose and a couple slid out so I used a clip to hold them in. The curls were full and didn’t go flat for hours.

I have used these curlers for approximately 30 years. Wouldn’t use anything else UNLESS the price of replacement curlers keeps going up! Way overpriced on those.

I waited a while before posting a review. I wanted to try these out a few times to see how I liked them. Well, I LOVE them!It takes a couple of settings to get the hang of it, but once you do, they're quick & easy to set in your hair. There are videos on youtube that are very helpful. Be sure to watch one or two before you use these. You'll be glad you did.I have very, very thick and long hair, so I purchased an extra set of Jumbo size. I use the smaller ones if I want a tighter curl, and the larger ones if I want the loose look.These don't leave harsh creases in your hair from the plastic fasteners that hold them in place. Sometimes the top front one will have a slight crease, but usually comes right out once I run my fingers through it, because again, these are STEAM not a hot iron that is curling your hair. The water from the steam lets your hair be a bit more bouncy and flexable. As long as you pull the crease out prior to adding hair spray, you should be good.I highly recommend these steam rollers. You're going to love them!

I love this hair style system. But I have a really hard time to understand why these curlers at so expensive.

De no ser porque soy extralacia y se que es el mejor tamaño para mi cabello, no lo hubiera comprado. El precio es muy alto.

The Caruso curling system is great for fast pretty curls which start tighter but quickly relaxes, when not using hairspray causing a lovely gentle looser curls. Purchased the complete set years ago with extra medium curlers but decided I need more of the larger ones now. I prefer the largest rollers as they give my medium length hair the larger more natural curls. Medium size tend to be tighter longer. I find electric curlers take too long to heat up and curling irons take too long to do my whole head. With the Caruso set I find after the last one is rolled I finish getting ready before I unroll and finger comb from underneath to help make maintain the added lift to my hair. I use distilled water for optimum results and it’s kinder to the steamer. I have found that on three of my rollers the end-disk do come off, annoying but they still perform well. I suggest leaving the roller covers off and, the rollers and their covers in separate containers. Easy to use. Empty the unplugged steamer immediately after rolling the last one.

Addition to the best curler set on the market.

I ordered these extras in the anticipation that I may wear out the sponge again...I do not want to be without them again.
