Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was shopping for some jumbo hot rollers and ran across this set that I purchased a several months ago. I was curious about the review rating so I read them and am puzzled. I cannot share the same opinion as the negative reviewers. I find that the rollers heat extremely well and retain the heat. In fact, I begin using them when the indicator dot just begins to turn. Once I place the primary four large rollers in my hair I unplug the set to prevent overheating the curlers and causing damage to my hair since hot rollers should not be used everyday and can cause split ends. I have medium thick hair and a lot of it, it's shoulder length, no bangs and this set curls my hair beautifully! In fact, I have curly hair day one, and beautiful fluffy and nicely shaped hair the second day. I love the metal clips, but there is a trick to using them. You must put them in to keep tension on the curler - for instance, you put the clip in from the opposite direction that you rolled your hair and press the open end of the clip down to sit on your head. The clips do not mark or crease your hair as some other brands clips can. If you cannot use these rollers effectively, I would look at the products you are using in your hair. I notice if I use a silicone conditioner or hair serum (CHI Silk Infusion - 6 oz., Frizz-Ease Extra Strength Serum, 1.69-Ounce or other similar products the curl falls out instantly. These products are great, but should only be used if you want to smooth and straighten your hair, they do not promote curling your hair. I purchased the Conair SPC10X Super Clips, 10 Count that are suggested with this hot roller set, and while I do like them I prefer the metal clips that come with the set because they hold the curler tighter to your head. I do find the Super Clips effective for sectioning my hair for different styles, as well as sectioning my little sisters hair when I cut it, but not for the hot rollers, if you are rolling the curlers all the way to your head. If you have longer hair and just want to influence the ends they would be great. Don't get me wrong, they work, but they allow the curler to flop around on your head, and I like them tight to my head until they cool. UPDATE April 15, 2015 - My hair is long now, down to my elbows. I purchased the Conair Jumbo Flocked Rollers http://amzn.com/B007S69QAY and guess what? I like these better!! The smaller rollers in this review curl better even though I am way overloading the roller with my super long hair. I have re-tried the Hot Roller Super Clips and they still do not work for me, even with way more hair. The pins that come with the set are far superior in their holding power.
