How long do the curlers need to be on the steam? What do the settings mean?

Curlers on the steam for 10 seconds or so. You want them warm, not wet. The settings are for with and without ionization. The one that goes click-click is the ionizer. The merely steam one is silent.

I just do a 'touch' test. After the curler has been on the steamer for a few seconds, about the time it takes for me to roll the first curl onto the first roller, the second roller should be ready. I touch it between my index finger and my thumb, if it feels moist, it's ready to go. Remember you want it to be moist, not sopping wet.

I had a set if rollers for about 20 years and they took about 5-6 minutes to heat up. These are much faster probably 1-2 minutes at its slowest and probably faster but I never really timed them.

Hi there, I got a request to answer your question from Amazon.com. It's important to not leave the roller on the steam setter base for longer than 20 seconds otherwise, the rollers get too saturated with moisture. If that happens, get another roller and start over. And before you start to roll your hair with a roller, shake the roller with a couple of long swipes downward to release an overabundance of water from the roller. If you leave the roller on the steam setter less than 15 seconds, swiping the roller is usually Not necessary.

Amy: One more thing!! Make sure you use a setting spray or a light hairspray to keep your set. You know us girls with long hair have to use few extra tricks. When I first purchased my set of curlers by the way, my hair was much longer than it is now. It was 8 inches past my bra strap. I've since had it cut. :) Good Luck..

Hot enough to curl your hair but not so hot that you can't handle them safely. I wouldn't advise young children to play with them. There is a metal bar that runs through the heating system on which the curlers rest to heat up which will be hot enough that you won't want to touch it. Hope that helps!

The large curlers are a little over 3" around. This is the best curler set. The nice thing is that you can buy more of the size curlers if you want, especially if you want to use the same size all over your hair. Most sets have a variety of sizes and I usually need more of one size.

Buy yourself a curler in Europe. Best suggestion I could give you! Have a good trip!

Well, that would depend on your hair type...but in my case, my hair is fine, and while it curls easily, it typically does not hold curl very long. However, when I set it with these steam rollers, it does last all day. Also, I will still have some body left on the second day. I think this set is well worth the money!

You *must* use a voltage converter. If you use a plug adapter only, your curlers will work really well for about 5 seconds and never again. If you are just visiting Europe, then it will probably be easier to buy curlers there: Voltage adapters are *heavy* - far too heavy to take on vacation with you. If you still want a converter, look at the current rating (the number of amps) on the curlers, multiply that by 110 and look for a converter that is rated at least 50% higher than that (i.e. number of amps x 110 x 1.5). I promise that buying a set of curlers in Europe will be cheaper...

I dont suggest it, if heat is on it for too long it will burn off, on to your curler/ Straightener.

I use them on hair that was washed/air or blow dried just previously so that it may still be slightly damp, but not to the feel. I leave the curlers in for at least 15 minutes, but as long as an hour while I scurry around in the morning. I have a friend who gets good results on long since dried hair and leaving them in for only 10 minutes, but her hair always did curl more easily. Mine is very fine and straight.

I don't use these curlers that often. I keep them at my daughter's house for when i visit. I don't think the jumbo is that big. I too have hair that is chin length and they work great for me. The amount of curl you get depends on how long you heat them up. The hotter the roller the tighter the curl.

It takes approximately 10 minutes for the curlers to heat up and be read for use.

My experience says the curl will last if you leave the rollers in for at least 30 minutes, I also will use my blow dryer to make SURE the rollers are dry before I remove them. Your hair must be 100% dry before rolling it. Spray it before you comb it out, let it sit for a few minutes, then brush. :)

You need to select one of the buttons (15 min, 30 min, etc). It will not look like much when it is steaming, but it is working.

You have to have the heat on low in order to curl and straighten them.. if you have them on high heat they will burn and kinda melt so in order to curl and straighten you have to have heat on low..
