What holds the roller in place in your hair?

There are three different sizes of clips for the three sizes of rollers. They hold well.

The old school u-shaped clips that poke in your hair are what is supposed to hold the roller in place. However, I have found that the clips are too small and too short and I was constantly pinning them back in so my hair would curl. The rollers do not get very hot. I even left them plugged in for a longer time. When the processing time was over, I found that I had nice, soft and long-lasting curls, but not without a great deal of effort.

The kit comes with wire horseshoe shaped pins - you roll your hair and just stick it right over the roller. I have difficulty keeping the rollers in when my hair is shorter than 4"long. Otherwise it is a great travel size and so handy to just get some body in your hair when in a pinch.

Yes, It does. My hair is fine...about shoulder length and it works very well. I think you will be very satisfied with it. Holds curl much, much better than the hot rollers.

There is a small clip I haven't used it with the clip! I just hold my hair in place whole using it

I'm sorry - I don't have any idea. I use it every day and love the way it holds my hair without being stiff.

I find that they stay in well with my thick hair. I am parting into smaller sections and using them either to hold in rollers or to just hold a ringlet in place. They work great for me.

I have used smaller hot rollers for many years. I first use a styling gel (I prefer Eufora), then use the rollers after the styling gel has set for a moment. These rollers are much heavier than the clips provided can hold, so I recommend getting a set of velcro rollers with slide clips (Target) and possible a set of smaller hot rollers for those hard to curl areas. How long is your hair? That's another thing you need to consider. I have my hair cut and colored on a regular basis to help keep some volume.

You get a variety of rollers, I can't remember the exact count, but there are a few small ones for short hair, but not enough to curl an entire head of hair.

My hair is very curly and like cotton candy. I use these rollers to get control and they certainly help. I've tried all kinds and I have to say I'm happier with these but not so much with the way they are secured. I've yet to find the perfectally secured hot roller. Hope this helps.

They're Velcro. You section off your hair when it's @ 80% dry,and roll the sections. Large curlers give you loose smooth waves, smaller curlers give you bouncy curls. These kinda of curlers give you remarkably soft and manageable hair, waaay better than hot tools!! You can either air dry or use a blow dryer if needed..

When holding the handle it is cool to the touch. You can most definitely hold it to your head. The longer you hold it in place the tighter your curl will be. It is fabulous!! If you have longer hair and it gets tangles it has a release button, so it won't pull your hair out!!

Sorry to be slow in responding. I don't have this hair dryer any more, but it served me well for years! I believe you just tilt the "head" back and down again and it snaps into place. Don't force it, though. Hope this helps.

Make sure your hair is dry to begin with. Let roller sit on steamer for 10 seconds so it has plenty of steam to get through all the hair. Roll it good and tight. Put the cap on the steamer for a couple seconds to get it hot and then clamp it on the roller. Then your hair is being steamed from both directions. Let it set in the rollers 20-30 min. The longer the better. Once you take the rollers out, put your hair dryer on the lowest setting and on COOL. The cool hair will set the curls so they will last longer. I have thick hair too and the weight of it can pull out the curls. You can also lightly hair spray the curls and use the cool setting on hair dryer to give the curls extra support. I LOVE these curlers. Can be a pain to get in the back side of your head but man the results are so worth it! My hair dresser has me bring my set every time because she loves the results too! It seems like they wouldn't work that well but they really do as long as you don't take them out too soon and you roll them tight. Good luck!

No split down the length of the roller. They each have a metal part in the inside bottom of the roller that fits over individual receivers in the base. They heat up enough to give you wonderful curl without burning your fingers as you roll your hair up. I don't like the wire holders that come with them, so I bought some clips from Amazon that don't leave creases in your hair. They were about $6-$7 for 10 great clips.

I also use scissors or a knife and cut the hair. I then just pull it out. On mine, there is a nifty little indentation on the roller that I use for sliding the knife. Just beware the ends tend to collect the most hair and will stop the wheels if it gets to full.

You have to take the 1 inch section of hair and tease it at the root. Then, you clip the extension in right above the teasing and it should stay in until you take it out. If you need to brush or comb it while it's in, just hold it where it sits on your head and it won't pull out.

Well not necessarily. You just need to make sure that the roller inside is rotating with the grain of the hair and not against it.

Hi Joan, I have a set of Hot Setter Pro hot rollers, too. There's not really a trick to the clips; they go outside the roller itself. Just roll your hair around the roller and slide the clip over the hair and roller. I find it works best to slide them over the middle of the roller/rolled up hair. If your hair is thin, it may be hard to get them to hold. I don't have a problem with my thick hair, but my previous rollers had plastic clips that more fully covered the roller and hair, and I found they held the hair and roller more securely. Hope that helps.
