CONAIRInstant Heat Compact Hot Rollers for Long, Medium, and All Hair - Hair Curler - Hair Roller Clips Included - 1 1/4-inch, 1-inch, and 3/4-inch Rollers

This is a review of Conair's Instant Heat Compact Hot Rollers.I needed a small set of hot rollers and I really wanted mostly large rollers, so I purchased this set and also Conair's Compact Multi-Size Hot Rollers , thinking I could make my own set by combining them. After receiving them I decided not to try that as they are made of different looking materials. To test them, I rolled my hair using both types, so I could compare these against Conair's Compact Multi-Size.I am a middle-age woman with fine hair, and it has always been a challenge to get hot rollers to stay in my hair when I use them and to get my hair to stay on the rollers. Not with these! I have used many different types of hot rollers over the past decade, and I have never, ever found a hot roller that stayed in my hair like the Conair Instant Heat Compact Hot Rollers! For that reason alone I would give this set five stars.These rollers produced a long lasting, strong curl. They stayed in my hair the whole time (probably 20 minutes), even as I went about my daily tasks while waiting for them to cool. I have almost shoulder length, fine hair, but I have plenty of it.There is only one con that I noticed on these and that is I struggle to get them back into the case. I think there is a certain way they fit back in and I did not notice what it was when I first used them. But that is so minor compared to finding rollers that work so well with fine hair. A great buy - I highly recommend these.UPDATE: I have now had these rollers a couple of weeks and I actually got a second set so I would have more jumbo rollers overall. I keep them plugged into a surge protector strip and whenever I want to heat them, I just turn the strip on.Fitting the rollers back into the case got easier when I saw that the bottom part fits in a certain way. If you do not click the roller into place, it does not heat well the next time. See photos for detail. Overall, I still really like these rollers, but I still wish Conair offered a set of about 16 jumbo rollers with only 4-6 smaller ones. The jumbo ones produce a much prettier (non-poodle looking) curl.

I ordered these curlers and they came without the metal clips. I contacted Conair to replace the clips and they said OK we’ll send you a whole new unit but to make sure that you don’t use the unit that we already sent you you need to cut through the cord and send us a picture of it. So basically instead of just sending me the clips, they are totally destroying this product and sending me a new one. Ridiculous.So update, they just sent me the replacement roller set and yet again they do not include the metal clips. This is such a joke.

these electric rollers are great for travel, but do not heat up like the older sets used to? they do not burn your hair.

From the negative reviews I did not expect much from these, which I bought to use for travel, but I am perfectly happy with them. Maybe it's because I have been using hot rollers since they first became available in the 70s, but I find nothing wrong with these. They are the smallest set I have ever seen, which is what I wanted. I chose only four stars because I would have preferred a set with all "jumbo" rollers, and I only really need six or seven. I suppose the little ones will come in handy when I get my next haircut, though.To address the common complaints: The rollers do not have to feel blazing hot to your hand in order to work. The first time I used them I let them heat for about ten minutes, and they were only warm to the touch. I put them in anyway thinking I could always let them heat up longer if they didn't work. They worked fine, giving me great bouncy long-lasting curls even though they weren't hot enough to singe my ears like other sets I've owned.If you take a second or two to actually LOOK at the clips (which are indeed all tipped in white) it is *obvious* that there are three distinct sizes. If you use a clip that is the wrong size for the roller, it will either fly across the room or the roller will fall out of your hair. Start with the biggest rollers and the biggest clips, and you'll be fine.I should have ignored the negative reviews and not bought the Conair super clips to go with them, because they are not needed. The wire clips work just fine. Put them in from UNDER the roller, going against the direction of the curl, with the rounded end close to your scalp and the open end (bent end on top) sticking up. I actually prefer the wire clips because the big clips on my regular set always leave crimps in my hair. The wire clips never do.For the record, my hair is right at shoulder length and baby fine, and there's a lot of it. I had no "frizzy ends" issues at all.To sum up: They're small, they're designed well, they're perfect for travel (with dual voltage too!), they do the job, they won't burn your ears, and for Maude's sake, they only cost $11.58! You'd pay more than that for a premium martini.

Like the portability of the hot rollers. I have another con air set that I love to use, but takes up too much space in my luggage. These do not seem to get hot enough to hold a curl. You also cannot interchange the rollers from my other set. They are ok. I have only used them once so far, will try to use again and see.

Ok these have exceeded my expectations. The size is awesome and fits well in a carry on bag, great for travel. They heat up very quickly. There are plenty of rollers to place a couple of large around the back and medium and small around your face. The curl is just as good as going to the hairdresser. I was so surprised how well they worked. They are easy to use and dont pull my hair. I have very fine hair which is shoulder length with a curtain fringe. Highly highly recommend these.

works well

I was so happy to see this little roller set that is great for travel. Then I realized the the pins were missing! I returned the roller set and reordered another one since I liked it so much. The second set came and the same thing happened--no pins. This time I returned not wanting a replacement. I'm still waiting for my refund to be returned.
