i want to perserve my blowout during the week..so i can't have any water...do the roller emit any steaming effect or is it just like using curling iron?

There is no steaming function, you have to use it with dry hair, and personally for me worked better that curling iron;)

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

yes, faster time to steam, less time to leave rollers in the steam flow on unit before able to put in hair, and it seems like the CURL in the hair last longer because of this powerful steam, hint - must maintain proper care to unit and only use distilled water and never add anything to the water such as salt.

I removed mine and gave it a blasting shower with the hose. It was a hot day, and it dried fast. Also, I made sure to -not- give those parts that seemed particularly electronic anything like a leisurely water bath. :) It continues to function flawlessly without a whimper over the incident. I'm just reporting what I did. Not meant for advice at all. And when I approach fans with the hose, I am always in acceptance that that I could bring an end to their healthy life. Yet I've done it for years, and have thus far got away with it. (Note- always on hot days, where they dry immediately.)

Honestly, I do not suggest you buy this model. Maybe I just got a bad one, but it didn't work and I returned it. I suggest you try one made by Revlon. They all blow hot air, but with less force than a blow dryer. The barrel does get hot, be careful if you hold your hair around it. I actually love the hot air brush as opposed to a curling iron, it's gentler on your ends, but the result is more subtle and doesn't last as long as a curling iron. It works best if you use it on damp, not wet hairI hope this helps.

Well the cream goes on your scalp not your hair so I doubt it would affect a blowout. You can apply it while your hair is wet and let the heat of the blow dryer melt it in. Works for me

Nope. I had forgotten about those old "steam" hot rollers. I used to have a Clairol set that did that.

you just plug it in(little suitcase where all rollers are) and it will heat up by itself . Very easy to use , i have long hair till the middle of my back, very straight and heavy, so i am satisfied with result,only curls do not long last, i guess i need stronger spray. I bought 2 sets for myself, but if you have short hair, it will be fine with one set :)

I have never tried to curl my hair with it, but just the ends, and it works fine. It does heat up pretty quickly, and very hot. I have it for few months now, and I LOVE IT! Hands down my fav flat iron so far.

Very much so, my hair is relaxer free and this left my hair with a beautiful shine and was able to curl my ends effectively. Remember to per-strech your hair with blow drying or with a pressing comb prior to use. If one didn't know me, you'd think I paid a professional to blow my hair out which it wasn't.

Hahah! To be honest I haven't used it since my 3rd attempt of trying to create normal waves. My hair texture is a strange one. With that to be said, I tried it on my friends hair and I've discovered that it works better when you blow dry you hair first. But, no body got time for that. So, i just have mine under my counter.

No cool setting. Dry is more forceful and uses the wide blower brush. Setting is warm but not forceful. To straighten, instructions on p. 14of instruction book says use blower brush..to curl, use changeable roll brush (available only on EH-KA60. I still have to use a curling iron briefly to curl ends as my hair is short and falls through the brushes.

I have really thick and heavy hair that is very stubborn when it comes to curling, even with hairspray. But I left these rollers in my hair for about 8 minutes and the curls were extremely voluminous and held up for very long, even without any products. I think the trick is just placement of the rollers in your hair, how you roll them, and how much patience you have to let them settle. Definitely recommended. Good luck!!

JuliaI have always use rollers. However, you should be OK as the fan blows air out and not in. I am on the road now, but will try and let you know on tomorrow. My hair is shoulder length so should be a good test.Charlene

Connie I have a short bob and fine hair. I use the rollers to create volume and lift. After taking outthe rollers I blow it with dryer to smooth out. I especially use the rollers between cuts when my hairstarts to get too long and unmanageable. I love these rollers. The trick is to heat themfor just long enough so they don't get too hot. Ideally I keep the rollers in for 10 minutes or until cooled. Hope this info helps. Dale

I use it on my wet hair and then I go outside until its completely dryed. You could also wear it in the house while doing your housework, etc and then when dried take out the rollers. Hope this helps.

Our daughter has fine hair & this particular Hot Tools adds a bit of volume but does not curl her fine straight hair. If your have naturally wavy, curly or frizzy hair, thick or fine, with a little styling gel or mouse this will tame the curls & make smooth waves for you! I don't use any products on mine & love the smooth waves I get. I dry my hair with a blow dryer first so use this Hot Tools curler on very slightly damp hair. Hope this helps!

The cap has to be placed in microwave for few minutes to heat up. There is no steam it moist heat. Cap is placed over the rollers immediately and left on for a period of time. If your looking for something like heat rollers then this not the item for you. I hope this answers your question.
