I've been holding out on buying a new set of hot rollers for about three years, because I couldn't find a set I liked: flocked (that means they have the fuzzy coating to grab your hair) multi-sized, and with those metal U-shaped clips that everyone else seems to hate. This set had all of that and then some! It's got 8 of the jumbo-sized rollers, which I was having a hard time finding, plus six 1-1/4 inch rollers and six 1-inch size. I have fine but thick straight hair that varies from just below the shoulders to bra-strap length, and with this set I can either do all-large rollers for body and a little wave, or use multiple small rollers for lots of curl. Plus, it came with both types of clips--the plastic "jaws" kind, and the U-shaped metal clips. I should say, I bought my set from a beauty supply store in my city, and I bought it on clearance for less than it retails here. Nevertheless I feel lucky to have found it and I would have paid more.
The rollers heat very fast and hold the heat for quite a while, so I can get a good tight curl if I let them heat for 15 minutes and cool for 30. On the other hand you can just get some good body and smoothing in about ten minutes, if you're in a rush. Oh, and it has an On/Off switch, so you can cut the power without unplugging it. This is useful if your outlet is in a hard-to-reach place, as mine is. |
No crease rollers!

| I recently bought this set at a beauty supply for about the same price offered here. What is really great about them is that they heat up in about two minutes and when you put the clips in... you don't get that horrible line in your hair that you would if you used other clips or used a curling iron. I have extremely thick hair that is about shoulder length, and this set had the perfect amount and size of rollers. I am addicted to using this because it is so easy, and I get so many compliments on my hair. (I was having to dry my hair on velcro rollers, which takes over an hour with the dryer on high because my hair is so thick, to get anywhere near the body that I get with just a few minutes and this set.) |

| If you need a good hot roller set. Buy these! They are the best, bar none. The plastic clips that hold the rollers in your hair are first rate; they do not pinch and they keep the roller in place PERFECTLY. I cannot say enough about the roller itself; it is soft and does not cause split ends; it holds long hair and gives a soft curl. The metal pins are also good. I use both the metal pins and the plastic clips for a firm set. These are the best rollers, sincerely. |
Babyliss electric hair rollers

| Review Date: August 1, 2008 |
| Reviewer: RCK, Pittsburgh, PA |
I purchased a set of BABYLIS pro instant heat 20 roller ceramic hair rollers about 1 month ago. My old set had flocking which helps to protect my hair from damage but after many years the flocking had worn off. I had been waiting to find a set of flocked electric rollers with metal holders. Plastic grip holders are good but I can't use them on the top of my head because they leave lines in my fine hair. This set has the uncommon advantage of providing both metal clips and plastic grips, which allows you to use whichever clip best suits your hair. In addition, the set heats up quickly, has plenty of rollers, and the rollers are constructed in such a way that these are less likely to burn fingers if grabbed the wrong way. I have fine straight hair and these rollers result in alot of curl, without burning my hair. Now if they only last as long as my last set!
I would highly recommend these rollers. So far, for the features and the quality of the set, they appear to be a great value for the money. I have priced many sets in various kinds of stores, but this set has many features missing in other sets for the same or more money. |
Great hot rollers

| Love these rollers. They heat up very quickly, are easy to handle, and the hair clips make rolling your hair a breeze . . . even shorter hair that sometimes is not quite long enough for a full roll-over on a larger roller. The clips hold the hair neatly against the hot roller without producing any lines. My hair is straight-straight and super-limp . . . I use these rollers only twice a week and find that surprisingly enough my hair holds onto the body throughout the week . . . and that is using the same shampoo/condition/gel that I have always used . . . so these rollers have really made a difference with my hair. |

| I did lots of researching before I decided to buy the Conair Babyliss Pro set. I looked at all different prices and reviews, and this one had the most good ones. So I figured, I should spend a little more on something of better quality. I've used it a few times since buying them, and they give nice, smooth, bouncy curls! I've gotten a lot of compliments on my hair after using this set. It heats up nicely and quite quickly. I have fine hair (asian) and it curls well. Although, I'm quite a beginner on using them, I like how it curls and I'll be practicing much more. But I also love the volume it provides for your hair. It really is a transformation. If you're looking for a good hairsetter, I'd recommend this one. It's quick, easy (after you get the hang of it), and you get great results. The price I think, is worth the quality of the product as well. :D |

| Reviewer: Sharon A. Verrill, New Hampshire |
| This is the first set of hot rollers that I have purchased in about 30 years so I really have nothing to compare them against. However, I am pleased with the product so far. They heat quickly. One new feature that is nice for me is the new kind of clip. They work much better than the wire prong. However, the wire prongs are also included for those that like them. I also like the flocked surface. My fine hair was forever getting snarled on the kind with the bumps and more than once I broke into a cold sweat, worrying that I could not get one out without cutting my hair. I have very fine, straight hair that hates to curl. I do get a nice curl with these (My hair is longish now)although I probably leave them on longer than many people (5 - 10 minutes). However, my curl does fall out as it does with any kind of curling devise - brush, curling iron, old fashioned rollers, etc. All in all, I am pleased with the rollers but since I have not tried any others, I cannot tell whether the extra price was worth it or not. I did order through Amazon as the only store that carried them near me had them at full retail price. |
Love it!!!!

| I love these electric rollers!!!! I never thought they would work for my African American hair. They heat up quickly and I pop them in when my hair is looking a little flat. I love the three sizes---my hair is almost shoulder length. I put the big ones on top for more body. Whenever, I use the rollers---everyone thinks I just got my hair done. |

| The rollers heat up fast and it grips to my hair very well; making it easy to roll my hair on the rollers. What I really like about this set is the generous amount of supper clips. These clips make it so easy to hold down the roller and very easy to apply. Also like the variety of roller sizes. I'm very satisfied and glad I chose these Babyliss Pro Instant Hear rollers. |

They heat up fast, come with claw clips and "u" shaped metal clips and different sizes. I've found these easy to use with limited time and have had consistently good results no matter how they've been used. These are a life saver on bad hair days.
Easy to clean, travel with, no burned scalp or fingers, evenly heated. |

| These hot rollers are by far the best I have ever used. I have long curly hair and I rarely can make it look shiney and wavy...but now I can have that anytime ! They heat up quickly, and they are very easy to use. They stay put once rolled, and don't fall out. I would purchase this item again in a heartbeat ! |

| Reviewer: K. LaPierre, South East WA |
This unit heats up quickly. The ready indicator is just OK in my opinion. I set my hair and then finish getting ready so the rollers stay in about 15 minutes. I have thick medium length hair and these rollers curl it very well. I like both the butterfly clips and the metal clips, they both hold the rollers tight and give you more options. The rollers are easy to handle...I thought they weren't very hot but they sure curl my hair. I haven't had a set since the old ones that were too hot to hold on to.
This unit is well built and seems sturdy. I like it! |
Very happy with purchase

| I used hot curlers 20 years ago and liked the metal clips, which is partly why I purchased this set. The curlers heat fast, stay hot, and don't burn fingers. The velvet flocking is nice for fine hair. The metal clips hold the curlers in fine hair better than the plastic, but when used together (plastic over metal), they stay in place until removed. |

| I hadn't used hot rollers in probably close to 10 years, so I wasn't sure what to expect. These rollers were really easy/quick to use. They heated up in only a few minutes and I love the new clips they come with (much better than the pins, in my opinion). I left them in my hair for maybe 15 minutes while I put my makeup on, and then took them out. My hair looked just as good as if I'd sat there with a curling iron for 30+ minutes, with much less hassle! I'd definitely recommend these rollers. |

| Thanks to all the prior reviewers' info which helped me to decide to buy these curlers. I have very fine, very thick, very straight hair. These curlers heat quickly and curl within the 10 minutes as instructed. And the curl lasts all day and into the evening. I'm not kidding. I have never found anything before that would keep the curl in my hair all day. The three different size curlers allows for a variety of hairstyles, even with the same hairlength. And the two types of clips are very helpful. The ceramic curlers have nice insulation so you don't feel the heat of the curler as you handle them. I'm getting frequent comments on how nice my hair looks since I bought these! Highly recommend this product. |

| I bought this for my daughter, who has very long, fine, hard-to-curl hair. After reading all the reviews, I decided on this product and was very satisfied. What a bargain ($45)! The flocked rollers are easy to handle and hold fine hair. There is a nice assortment of small, medium and large rollers...actually more than my daughter needs to do a full head of long hair. On the first attempt (and with no prior experience using rollers), my daughter had full, bouncy curls that actually lasted (with a touch of hairspray) all day. Some reviewers said it gave them hair like a "Victoria Secret's model." I would agree. |
Great set of hot rollers!

| Exactly what I was looking for! I don't know why it's so hard to find hot rollers with the metal pins now. They seem to hold the hair tighter without leaving dents like the plastic clips. The good thing about this product is you have the option to use the metal pins or plastic clips because it comes with both. Great product, no complaints, arrived on time! |

I just curled my hair with my new hot roller machine. It is the greatest.
It has plastic clips, which I love, and also those metal ones which I do not like.
I have brought hot roller machines and had to buy the plastic clips seperately. So finding them in the box was a welcome surprised. It has 6 small, 6 medium, and 8 large which works well with my medium length hair.
It did not take long to heat up at all. Plug it in...go brush you teeth, or whatever, and it will be ready in no time. Do not hesitate to buy this product. |
Best Rollers By Far

| Reviewer: Joan Keller, Philadelphia PA |
| I have been a hot roller junkie since they first came out. I generally don't write reviews but this is by far the best heated roller set I have ever owned. They do not break your hair. I like the option of using either the metal or plastic clips. When I am in a hurry I use the plastic ones. I have been through and trashed a lot of sets. These are definitely a keeper. They do take a bit longer to heat up but that is a minimal complaint. The on/off switch is another plus. |

| I actually saw this exact set in a Hammer & Shlemmer magazine listed as "the best set of hot rollers" , I went to Amazon with the picture and description and found it for about $20.00 less that the H & S price. I bought it, and I like it. However, my hair is long and I wish it had jumbo rollers. Debated getting the $80.00 babyliss pro color coded stand up rollers but couldn't justify that much for hair curlers and didn't know how they worked. They work well, and hair is shiny and holds curls. Next time i will splurge for the mac daddy set, just wanted to replace my cracked top 15 year old cheap set and am not dissapointed. Nice to have both clips and pins in this set. |
Works well with one major drawback
|
| Review Date: February 24, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Becky Thatcher, AL |
Babyliss ceramic rollers heat up very quickly. No waiting.
However, the problem is that there is a long slit in the middle of each roller which allows each roller to fit into the unit and heat up quickly. When securing the roller, the instructions warn to be careful not to let one leg of the pin go inside the slit. This is tricky, esp. if you have thick hair. The time I save in not having to wait for the rollers to heat up is lost when I have to struggle with inserting each pin all the way around each roller, making sure I haven't accidentally inserted one end of the pin into the slit. But, once inserted, the rollers work very well, and the different sizes are great for achieving different hair styles. |
Great curlers!

| This was my first real set of hot rollers, so I don't really have a basis from which to compare, however they have worked very well for me to date. They are easy to use, and heat up pretty quickly, though leaving them plugged in for a few extra minutes definitely makes a positive difference. I absolutely love the variety and number of sizes in the set. The only qualm I have is that some of the rollers do get a little too hot on the ends, making them difficult to handle. Overall I am very satisfied wih my purchase; a quality product, and it was shipped within a week! |

| I bought this Hairsetter thinking I would use it each time I wash my hair. I have very thick hair, so there are not enough curlers in the set to do all of my hair. If you put too much air on each curler, then the results are less than satisfactory. I think it would be great for people who have less than very thick hair. |

| Nice styling tool for my hair, which is a little longer than chin length. One complaint. The red buttoned curler - the one that's supposed to tell you when the curlers are ready to use - stopped working after I used it once... I just have to guess when the curlers are ready, whcih is a drag when you're in a hurry. |

| Reviewer: Minerva Ferndip, New Mexico |
| These are great rollers and well worth the extra I paid for them! The velvet holds my very straight, heavy, hair real well and the curls stay all day. In fact even when I brush my hair in the evenings the body and waves are still there. My only complaint is that with my shorter hair I need more medium/small rollers and not the large ones. Wonder why they can't make a companion set or something to order that would be all small or all medium. Other than that, the rollers are great! I really like the choice of the claw clips or regular pins to hold the rollers. |

| Reviewer: Dee Dee Remote, Toronto, Ontario Canada |
| I may have gotten a dud, but for some reason this set doesn't heat up well enough to produce a lasting curl in my super-straight hair. Even if I leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rolling, the rollers are only warm to the touch, and consequently the curl lasts for just a couple of hours at best. A shame really, because otherwise it's a fine set--it was really great of the company to provide both the old-fashioned metal pins and the plastic jaw "superclips." If you're blessed with easy-to-curl hair, the temperature might not be an issue for you, in which case I'd recommend the Babyliss highly. Not long after I bought it, I acquired a free Conair Infiniti set (I had a lot of bonus points at the drugstore) that is shaped almost exactly the same--only natural, as Babyliss is one of the "professional" divisions of Conair. Even though the wattage on the Infiniti set is lower, it manages to get quite a bit hotter than the Babyliss, and thus produces much more lasting results. I kept the Babyliss anyway--the extra rollers and clips come in handy as they're interchangeable with the Conair set. |

| Reviewer: Soosie Time, California |
| I am not a highly experienced user with hot rollers, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I do get an awful crease in the top of my hair when using these. I've only tried the plastic clips so far because the metal ones burn my head, so maybe they're to blame? I like that they heat up fairly quickly and I can put them in my hair and continue doing other things, but overall, I like the results of my curling iron more. It gets a little too puffy, and I feel like it's more for "a night out" than just running errands or something. |

| I looked through all the other reviews before I bought this product. I have thick, course hair, so I looked for one that had high reviews. After using this a few times, I've found that I have to leave the curlers in at least 30 minutes, and the curl only lasts about an hour. I live in a humid climate, so that may have something to do with it, but when I use a curling iron the curls last all day. The product is easy to use, and I like the plastic alligator clips, just unsatisfied with the end result. |

1. It does NOT heat up quickly
2. I left the rollers in for a long time and used a root booster when drying my hair, yet I got little curl.
I must be color blind, I thought I ordered a blue babybliss but mine was grey. I would love to send this back but the vendor did NOT include a packing slip. argg
I had an old clairol or remmington set that quit working. You know the old fashioned kind that is not ceramic, ionic, or expensive. It worked like a dream.
It's just pointless to use this set, because it just isn't worth the effort, as the result is so poor. |

| After reading all the great reviews online I decided to buy these rollers. The first time I used them, the heat melted the plastic ends!! I managed to try them anyway and I could tell that they do produce great curls, but at the end of the day these were unusable for me given the plastic ends kept melting and then getting in my hair! I wanted them to work so badly that I tried them in every outlet in my home and got the same results...too bad. I would not recommend buying these rollers. |

| I purchased this hot roller set after doing some reaserch and it really seemed like these were going to be great. I always read the review before buying online and the reviews were great so I went ahead and purchased them. I got them in the mail and tried it out. I let them heat up (they don't get hot enough). I took them out of my hair and most of my hair didn't even curl. What did curl stayed that way for about 5 minutes. I used to curl my hair all the time so I know it will curl and it looks pretty curly. I don't ever right reviews but I just had to on this because I don't want someone throwing their money away on this like I did. |
