Dangerous! Conair Compact Multi-size Hot Rollers: Pink/Coral
WARNING! These do not have stay-cool ends so you can hold the hot rollers without burning yourself to roll your hair onto the rollers. I used to use hot rollers every day in the past for my hair, so I know what I'm doing with them. Imagine my surprise when I bought these for my daughter and tried to use them. Good thing I already knew how to use them, as the booklet that came with had no instructions on how long to leave in, and the indicator light on the roller that was supposed to change from red to white when the rollers were heated wasn't red to begin with, but was already white straight out of the box and never changed color, so it didn't indicate anything. Before these rollers I assumed all rollers had the stay-cool feature on the end of each roller so you can hold them in order to put them in your hair, because how else are you supposed to pick up something hot enough to burn in order to use them? We had an important event the curls were necessary for, or I wouldn't have even attempted to use these once I realized there was no cool end to hold these while rolling hair! I managed to get them in after letting each roller sit on a hot plate to cool first, which of course meant they were too cool to curl well by the time they were cool enough to handle. Curls did result- they just didn't last more than 2 hours without drooping. Good hot rollers should result in curls that last through the day if you have any natural curl to your hair, which my daughter does. I've even been able to sleep at night and have curls the next day with good hot rollers, which these aren't. What idiot designed hot rollers without a stay-cool feature at the end of the rollers? I'd like to see the designer try to use these on themselves. Obviously not quality tested. Buy these at your own risk, as you could end up with second degree burns on all of your fingertips!
