Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I can't believe I waited so long to buy these beauties. These curlers are incredibly easy to use and they give you gorgeous curls that last for days. I have tried every heatless curling method there is -- sleep styler, braiding, boho headband wrapping, and every other tutorial on youtube -- and this is the only one that ACTUALLY works. The set comes in a nice zippered carrying case with seven different sizes of rollers. I only used the two biggest sizes (blue and pink). The first time I tried these, I wrapped them from the bottom like traditional rollers. They're easy to hold in place, once you figure out which way to crimp the ends. (Hint: if you're rolling away from your face, as most of you probably will be, you'll need to bend the edges up into a "U" shape. If you're rolling toward your face, you need to put them the other way with the ends pointing down.) I slept in them and had incredibly bouncy, Shirley Temple style curls. I actually spent some time pulling on them to get the curls to straighten out - they were way too sproingy for a woman in her thirties, ha! The second time I adjusted my rolling technique because I wanted looser curls. After a nighttime shower, with wet hair, I held the roller against my head and wrapped the hair around the barrel away from my face. This technique meant that the ends of my hair were sticking out a little, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The curls looked much more natural. (When I curled them the first time and the ends were fully curled, it looked a little crazy.) I pulled the curlers out in the morning and I had gorgeous, loose curls that looked like I did them with a curling iron (it was the same look I get from spending 30 minutes with my 1" curling iron). I nearly wept with joy. No more heat styling for me!! They're not exactly the most comfortable thing to sleep in, but if you get the placement right (cluster them around your ears and on top of your head, leaving the back of your head bare) you'll be ok with a squishy pillow. For the record, I had no issues sleeping with them, but I'm a back sleeper. I think these are incredibly easy to use and you should have no problem with them, even if you're a hair styling neophyte. That being said, while I'm not a professional hairstylist, I know my way around a curling iron and am pretty good at making my hair look how I want using styling tools. I'm just lazy and don't want to spend an hour doing my hair every morning. The photos are me with sproingy curls pulled out a bit, then two days later (!), then the final, looser curls that I'm so in love with.
