Conair Instant Heat Compact Hot Rollers w/Ceramic Techology; Black Case with Blue and Green Rollers, 12 Count

This hot roller set is dual voltage. It is good for traveling outside the US. The issue is that it is only 85 watts so it takes very very long time to get ready for the job. (Conair has two or three other roller sets with 580 watts or more--the one with 580 watts heat up and ready for use in two minutes!! And it is only $9 more). This set does warm up with 90 seconds as advertised but it is not hot enough. I waited for about 30-40 minutes before I used it. The clips that come with this unit do not work so I bought jumbo clips separately. If you don't need a dual voltage, buy a stronger watts unit for faster heat.BTW, 12 rolls are not enough for thick hair. The rolls size are a bit too small for big curl results. I spent about an hour to set my hair with this unit. But, the process would be cut by half, if I had have used a strong watts unit. I need a dual voltage set so I don't have many choices.Update.....a month later...Now I use it in Thailand. I am very surprised to learn that this unit heat up within 10 minutes!!!! With more experience, I can do my hair to look professional in less than 30 minutes. Everyone said, the curl looks natural and look like I walk out from the salon. I would recommend this product to all travelers.PS: I am not sure whether this product damages my hair. But I guess all products with high heat will eventually damage hair.

Listen, I don't know what some other reviewers thought they were buying when they bought this set, but it works, it;s cheap, it;s well-made and incredibly convenient. Electric hair setters have been around since the sixties and have changed very little. The rollers get hot, yes - they have to to do their job. Even used a cold curling iron? But these rollers will not burn your fingers unless you hold them closed in your hand for long minutes, then I wonder if they wouldnt cool to the point of non burning anyway.. Pick them up, roll your hair, and clip them in place. The clips take a time or two to understand how they work, and yes, they can be a little uncomfortable, but, woman, you are putting curlers in your hair...do you expect them to feel pleasant?These heat up quickly, and curl nicely. If you have a ton of heavy hair, you will want extra rollers. My hair is collar length and I am fine with these. I use them for body, curve, and bounce, I do not expect to look like Shirley Temple when I am done.If you leave them in a few minutes, you get light body that will last a few hours, especially if you spray or gel. If you leave them in ten min or so, you get long lasting curls. If you heat them for ten min they're good to go for a quick pick me up, heat them longer, the curl lasts longer. Follow the directions, use the thing the way it's meant o be used and it's a life-saver. I took the with me to a weekend wedding - series of parties, dinners, ceremony. They were way quicker than curling iron, I could do my make up while they heated and get dressed while I wore them Loved them!Now the set resides in a vanity drawer, fits nicely, and I heat them up right in the drawer when I need them. If you want a wonderful, inexpensive tool that's excellent for what it is MEANT to do, buy this one. Buy two - keep one in your desk at work.

It takes a while for these to heat up and they don't get super hot. They worked well on an overseas trip and were light and small to pack.

I like the Conair products. I have their FLAT IRON, CURLING IRON, BLOW DRYER and BLOW DRY BRUSH. I am very happy with all the products. I trust the brand. When I read the reviews for the CONAIR HOT CURLERS, there were complaints about the curlers not getting very hot. I decided to check for myself. I got the curlers and read the instructions, even though I have been using hot curlers for decades....., just to see if there was anything different. BINGO THERE WAS! The description of the product in the AMAZON add, says the RED DOT on one of the curlers will turn WHITE when curlers are ready and it does. The INSTRUCTION SHEET tells you that when the RED DOT turns WHITE, the curlers are ready for use. HOWEVER, if you prefer HOTTER CURLERS let them heat for an additional 10 minutes. I do prefer hotter curlers, so I let them warm for 10 minutes longer and they were VERY HOT to the touch. I am so happy with the hot curlers. The manufacturer needs to include that info. in their adds. Most people don't read instructions on something as simple as curling your hair. Love the curlers!

The size given of the rollers is misleading as it is actually the size of the caps at the end. The part you roll you hair on is much smaller and too small for long hair, even the larger ones. But, I make do and they are compact and light weight for travel. So wish the barrels had been larger. The picture on the box is totally blown up to make the rollers appear much larger than they are.

I too ordered the Conair rollers with the black case and purple rollers indicated in description and picture. What I received was a grey case with large grey rollers and peach small rollers in a cheap plastic case with the name Infiniti Pro by Conair on it. While the color really doesn’t matter, this is also following my need to purchase the rollers following my ordering a different set of Conair rollers from Amazon which arrived without rollers in the box, but replaced with a can of American Beauty refried beans. I wrote a review, but Amazon or Conair chose not to post it. The picture is above. Not sure what the issue is but these were more expensive than the first set I ordered but still the order was wrong. I don’t even see this product being sold by Amazon site so who is fulfilling the orders? . I also noticed that Amazon doesn’t sell American Beauty canned products, leading me to believe these issues are from Conair’s end. Will not order products from Conair again. Hope this review makes it to the review site.
