My hair doesn't hold curls really well, will these hold longer versus using a curling iron?

These rollers are the best better than a curling iron I'm so happy I purchased them you should too

Honestly, these rollers are suede lined and i find that my hair doesn't get as curly as they did with the plastic or ceramic rollers. I think the curling iron does a better job IMHO.

My hair also does not hold a curl well. I got a good loose curl and lots of volume with these that lasted 8+ hours. Be careful where you place the clips though in the front of your hair, mine crimped a little, but nothing a straightener didn't help!

In short, yes. My hair absolutely does not hold a curl to save its life. I think hot rollers in general are better for hair that doesn't hold a curl. The key to keeping a curl is letting the hair cool in the curl shape. When you use a curling iron they fall immediately, instead of cooling in the right shape. I own these ones specifically and I really like them. They take WAY less time to curl all my hair than a curling iron and it holds longer. I wouldn't say they're miracle workers, but definitely an improvement.

I've only used mine once, just playing around with them, and I loved how the curls stayed in my hair. My hair is not thick either.

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!!

Hot curls are better I think. Much nicer looking curls after it's all done.

Yes. I curled my friend's hair this weekend (she had fine limp hair also) with the straightener and it stayed all night into the next day. The curls come out tighter and voluminous. Go on youtube and watch how people curl their hair with a straightener. It comes out beautiful and stays for a long time irregardless of what hair type you have. I would also recommend using the curling irons that come in this box. I have thick hair that does not hold a curl well so the curling irons do very little for me. I think that if they are used with finer hair the curls will probably stay and it will give a nice wavy look. Yes.

I am not sure, I don't have thick hair. But with my thin hair, the curls did not hold well at all..I ended up buying a different curler

Probably. It would depend on the size of the curlers you used. Smaller curlers make tighter curls, larger curlers give body and some curl I have never used it for that reason. I have fine hair and use the smallest curlers.

I only bought the flat iron to straighten my hair. However, I tried to curl some strands to be able to answer your question. Although I am not familiar with the technique as I have never in my entire life curled my hair, I can say that with little skill I had, I was able to do some loose curls.

When I use the jose eber curling iron, I don't use any styling products. I only hold the iron in a curl for 5-10 seconds. The curl stays in until I wash it. I cannot get my hair to hold a curl from another curling iron even with hairspray. I have thin hair and maybe a little fine. Defianately hard to curl.

Amy- I have very thick, curly, long hair, about an inch past my bra strap. My hair loves to curl it's own way and not the way I want it too. I'm able to use the rollers with no issues. They get nice and hot and set my massive head of hair in no time. I like the fact the curlers are various sizes of XX-Large, X-Large, and Large specifically for long hair. My curls last all day so far. Now, I've only been using them for the Winter season. I purchased them in the fall of 2013. If you use a hair gel or mousse to set your hair, then use the curlers I'm sure your hair would hold in the summer. I would recommend these particular rollers for anyone with long to very long hair.

I would think so. My hair is thick, but the strands are thin. It has a bit of a wave, but sadly, not curls. My guess is your hair would have more volume but stay curly. This product is worth trying.

They are used on dry hair, and I have curls within 5 minutes, but you can leave the curlers in as long as you want if you want.

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..

My hair is fairly thick and doesnt typically hold curls, but does really well with this curling iron. I use it as more of a wand and my hair holds curl to some degree all day even without hairspray.

I have very curly hair too - this works but tends to leave hair looking dried out at the ends - my stylist feels it's because these (and similar) flat irons can't get hot enough - she recommends getting a professional grade device. Haven't decided to do this yet, and will have to get a reminder as to the recommended brand.

Any curling iron should curl African American hair (I have the same) you may have to invest in decent hair products that will enable the curl to hold and stay. Heat protective sprays etc.... Also, if you have "natural" hair you may want to use a smaller barrel or just practice. The amount/section of hair that you're trying to curl may be to thick. Or flat iron first then curl.......the key for us is 9 of 10 x's the products. I ALWAYS have to spray my hair with a holding spray to keep the curls even a roller set.

I use the curling wand on mine and it holds really well. I don't use hairspray or anything. They're really good extensions

If you plan to use these every day try the Conair a set with foam around the rollers. I use them every day and they're easier on your hair. I bought this travel set only for travel and they take a long time to heat. I have curling irons, flat irons but the rollers with the foam are the best for my fine hair.

With this particular size, you can get loose, wavy curls. Depends on your hair texture but my waves hold for days.
