I sent mine back because I have fine hair and the rollers would not stay in.

With your hair, I would say there are not enough to do your whole head at once. To get a decent curl you can only put on the roller a small amount of hair. With thick long hair it is hard to get a curl to hold for too long.

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.

There are 3 sizes of rollers. There are 8 large, 6 medium, and six small. I have never been able to curl my hair with these all at once. You can order more of a certain size from Conair.com, but I'm unsure as to how many you could fit inside the heater as each slot is meant to hold a certain size of roller. My hair is naturally curly but will not hold the curl from these rollers. I would suggest looking online, perhaps on YouTube, on ways to curl your hair with a straightener. If you roll your hair into a pin curl and clamp it between the plates on a straightener, you get the same effect and a longer hold. I wouldn't recommend these. There are 3 sizes of rollers.

Hi! I use these rollers but have shorter hair. The rollers do work well and the clamps hold the hair well. With your thicker, longer hair, you may do just as well with a large hot roller. Good luck!

You should use 13-15 pumps especially at first. First part where you natural part is and spray 2-3 pumps and then divide part just on the front of your head and spray the parts until you reach the 13-15 pumps--it really is a small amount. Then you massage the product into you scalp all over. I have used it for a while and am losing less hair and my hair fills thicker so I use like 12 pumps. There should have been an insert in your box that explained it all better than I can. Then just proceed with your normal styling products like I use spray gel. I hope that helps. lisa

These rollers work on steam, therefore, you can't possibly do more than one at a time without it drying out. It only takes a couple of seconds over the steam to work. By the time you can separate your hair, it will be on more than long enough.

Debbie: I have very long hair that is thin, but allot of it. These rollers work for me. Hope this helps.

I have short hair and usually have enough to saturate the rollers about 3 times each. Years ago when my hair was shoulder length, I could still get by with one box. Getting a perm is such a daunting task that I understand your desire to get it right the first time.....good luck!!

I would like these better if there was one more roller!!! I like them, but I find myself trying to put more hair from a different section into the rollers to curl it all at the same time. It has not been a big deal, really. Sometimes I plug in my regular curling iron too to curl the piece or small pieces that I couldn't get in the roller. I like this set because it heats up quickly and it is small enough to throw in a suitcase for travel. Hope that helps. Not the perfect set, but I like it.

I have waist long hair, and the same thing was happening to me. Try putting the roller closer to your scalp and rolling the rest onto the roller from there, instead of the conventional "start at the end and roll your way up" method. Good luck!

The largest roller is 2 inches. There are 6 of these larger rollers. I usually blowdry my hair and then use all of the rollers on my dry hair-- I like the curl dimension I achieve by doing this. I don't use any additional hair pins or clips to hold the rollers on either, they stay up pretty well on their own. I give my hair a quick blast from the blowdryer, and spritz of hairspray. I let it set for about an hour and I end up with big voluminous curls that last all day.

Not at all, you will love these. I do reccomend using a med size amount of hair per roller because the clips do not hold supper tight if there is a lot of hair on the roller. I have really thick hair and found that it works better if I don't put a lot on each roller.

I have very thick hair as well. It is not as long as yours however. Mine is just shoulder length. I use conditioner only on my ends and this tends to give a better "lift" to the hair on top of my head. After I blow dry my hair, I spray Silk Elements Mega Silk Heat Protection spray on the ends. Then roll my hair in very small sections. Make sure the rollers are fully heated and leave them in your hair until they are completely cool. I have very nice, firm curls that last at least a couple of days. Might have to touch up with just one row of curlers on day 2 and 3, but overall, I think they do an excellent job. Hope this helps.

Hi Sue, Without looking at the rollers, most of them are large, four small and four tiny. I use the metal clip for the front roller that sets on my forehead so I don't have a bump on my hair. I hope this helps. Have a great day!

It honestly depends on how thick you want the hair to look. I have really thin hair so one package covered my entire head. I purchased two packages for when I do mine again, but it all depends on the style and thickness you are trying to achieve. (:

Probably not -- there are only 10 rollers. I have very thin hair -- and have to put a lot of hair on each roller in order to get all my hair rolled up. It does work well for for an easy touch-up during the week while I'm basically living out of a suitcase.

Depense how thick your hair is! I have thin shoulder long hair. 1/2- 3/4 is enough for my hair. But really honest I would buy two. Mix one packed first and then see how much more you need. Probably 1 pack and 1/2.

All of your hair. I have thick mid-back hair and always have enough coverage in one bottle. It's a thin gel and covers well. If you're worried, buy multiples - the product keeps extremely well so you can use one bottle and start on the second, and then save the leftovers for the next time.

It depends upon what you consider "small" and "medium". None of these rollers are especially large, so you should be in good shape. It's really a nice little set, heats up fast, and does not take up a lot of room in your bag. You may have to re-heat a roller or two, depending on how much hair you have to roll.

I have fine, but thicker hair. They stay in, but I have to hold the curlers to get it rolling sometimes for a long time, and it hurts/burns a lot. For your hair, I think a curling iron would be better maybe? With long teeth?
