Do the rollers get hot enough?

They get plenty hot enough in my opinion. I think some people just don't know how to use them. I have thick frizzy hair and have a ton of it, I keep the rollers heating for at least 10-15 minutes and I leave them zipped up in the bag they come in. I need to use two sets of these rollers. I part my hair and clip into sections. I spray each section lightly with water or heat protect to control the frizz or to get a tight set. It all depends on the look I am after. I find that the trick with any roller set for my type of hair is to make sure they stay hot by not leaving them uncovered as I work on putting them on. Only unzip one section of the bag they come in to pull rollers from and they will stay nice and hot while you are putting them in. And use a bit of moisture if you either have a lot of hair or need to get a tight hold set that day. So yes they get hot enough but if you work with them open to the air, out of the bag they will cool down a bit from the ambient temperature in the room, so keep them hot by keeping them in their bag covered while you work like any other hot roller set.

Indeed they do. They can get very hot. I use mine before they reach full temp and let the sit in my hair for at least 10 minutes. Depending on your hair, they will produce a very nice and tight curl!! I love mine and highly recommend these. I even used them when my hair was long and still got very good results.

Tes and quickly. I have a set that's 5-6 yrs old and is used daily. Just starting to notice, the heating element is not as hot. Could be the rollers??? You can purchase additonal sets thru Conair.

Hi: I bought it because I was traveling to South America where the current is 220 volts. I used it and it was hot enough. The advantage is the dual voltage. I wish they could bring more big rollers. I tried hard to look for bigger one in dual voltage but couldn't find at the time I need it. Hope this helps.

It seems to me that they do--I always get a good curl. They're pretty warm to the touch when I put them in--I'm not sure I would want to handle them any hotter.

Yes, they have the propensity to get really hot depending on how long they are allowed to be heated. When I desire loose curls, I heat for roughly 5-8 minutes. For tighte curls, I sometimes leave the curlers on for between 15 - 30 minutes.

The rollers do get very hot, but if you are quick enough, you won't burn your fingers. I usually leave them in for 20 minutes and my hair will hold the curl all day. If you want some extra reassurance, you may want to use a light holding spray before you attach each roller.

I don't know about additional rollers, but yes, they heat on cylinders. These are GREAT! They heat up in about 10 minutes and curl beautifully.

Hi, the curlers give off only heat, no water or steam is emitted. Hope this helps.

We have been using ours without any problems. You might try cleaning the rollers with a little alcohol & see if that helps.

I don't believe they get hot. My 2 and 4 yr old have never mentioned it being that way

The heat from this set is very good. I just couldn't get the rollers to stay in my short hair, they kept falling out. I think it would work better on long hair. Hope this helps. I plan to try it again when my hair grows out a bit.

Yes, they do get hot. I have not had one that the pot does not get hot. I love this one!!

I only use nine rollers. They are very hot and I don't keep them in my hair very long. So you have to decide if you want to buy a brand with more rollers, assuming someone makes one with more rollers, or if you are willing to put them back in the heater after taking them out to finish your hair. The first one would most likely be hot again by the time you take out the last one and are ready to start rolling more hair. The only hitch, however, might be that you want to use all the same size. There are three sizes to choose from. 6-small, 6-med, and 8-large.

Only if you leave them on until your hair dries, which would take a while. These rollers curl your hair in minutes if it's dry, and doesn't damage it like curling irons do.

Yes, without heat these rollers produce curls. Depending on your hair texture they may be tight. But they are pliable and loosen throughout the day.

Keep the cover closed while heating. Then open to use. My personal preference is to take the clips out during the heating phase--they can get warm, but I've also left them in. I love these rollers.

I think so they do get extremely hot so you might have to hold them up a little. I've never tried it.

Not recommended, they will sweat and get soft. Ideally they should go on a rack where the air can flow around them while they cool off. Hope that helps!! =)

They get hot enough to curl thick hair. They get really hot if they are plugged in for an unusually long time.

Yes the surfaces do get hot if in the sun. I use the infant swings for my 2 year old twins and have had them since they were 1. They are very sturdy and comfortable. My kids won't get out of them!
