Do these have that bad, headache inducing smell? Many curlers made out of this material are not only smelly but carcinogenic & quite concerning...

They definitely have a faint rubber-esque fragrance, but nothing that would deter me from using them, or that struck me as noticably strong. . They kind of stink in terms of result though ;). I reviewed them, if you want to hear more. Hope that helps.

Well everyone is different and I have allergies. The faint rubbery smell did not bother me at all,,...as far as the result, my hair is long and I wear it up a lot...the curls were wonderful..I did use gel with them...so ran into no problem at all...

There is a slight rubbery like smell. For me it didn't bother me or my husband. It is really hard to gauge as everybody's tolerance for smell is different. I've seen them sold at a Walmart store. That might be an option.

My intense curl cream has a very nice smell to it and has a consistency of a conditioner. I hope that helps.

Mine smell very badly (and I didn't order them online - bought them at a health food store) and they also make me nauseous if I take them on an empty stomach. I've had other supplements that smell badly, as well, so I personally don't think it's anything out of the ordinary.

Every one keeps saying that it stinks like rubber and chemicals and it never goes away. But I have them.. Yeah they smelt a little buts fine. It doesn't link to cancer at all. No worries

Maybe you could try only leaving the curlers on the steam for a very short time and use smaller amounts of hair on each roller? I don't ever have this problem. I have very fine straight hair.

This massager was a total waste of money. Have tried numerous times to get answers about the horrible "smells" from this machine, but unsuccessful. The covers emit such a chemical type odor, have tried EVERYTHING to no avail! It stays put away with a cover over it. Have tried to use it as well as my husband, who suffers with RLS. Can only so while wearing a MASK! Very expensive disappointment., and no answers&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

IMO the rollers heat to a way too hot temperature. They can burn your fingers, your head, and your hair. I have fairly fine hair and they burned it to the point it broke off.

Mine had no smell. Chemical smells give me headaches, so I couldn't have used it if it did.

I will never order curlers or anything again from Amazon. I emailed two months ago and told you they quit working already. You wouldn't take them back, unless I sent them back, which would cost me more for shipping than they were originally..... Amazon should pay for the shipping, since they quit working. Amazon sure doesn't stand behind what they sell, like Walmart does... Thanks for the " Sorry" Customer Service. Lilly Keller

Wow, thank you so much. I appreciate your input. I am suffering from near-daily headaches at work because of the amount of cologne and perfume in this place. I've tried to talk to HR, but nothing has worked. No one thinks their perfume is bothering anyone and people seem to take direct offense when I mention their perfume gives me a headache.I've been around some of those units that emit ozone and wow, they smell worse than the smell they're trying to cover up.Again, thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. :D

If you constantly worked with this material for hours at a time 3 to 4 days a week then yes, I might use something else. However, I'm using this to block yarn work. This does not take that long nor do you use it that often. There is no odor which you can usually smell if there is an unusual material in the product. Manufacturers have to put these warnings on their products if there is even a minute chance that a carcinogen might be there. You'll notice warnings on a lot of products you might use every day. Can't live your life in fear.

There was virtually no hold for my naturally curly hair and the smell was so overpoweriing...it literally gave me a headache.

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

Great curlers, They heat up fast and the curl last. Try going on Revlon home page to order extra clips. Walmart use to carry clips not sure if they still do.

I was unable to curl mine with a curling iron . they weren't real . they frizzed & were hideous when I curled them with curlers .

No, they are not human hair, they are synthetic, if you try to curl or color them you are going to ruin them.they look very natural, you don't need to do anything to them, only brush them carefully after each use and hang them or save them straight.
