Are these rollers hot ...I mean can you handle them okay when trying to roll your hair.

They are quite hot but they have an edge that you hold on to while rolling them into your hair. It's not a problem handling them.
1949911
I do not have a problem , I have never noticed them being too hot to handle.
1949912
Yes, they are very "safe" to handle and don't have to worry about getting burnt. They even have a little "handle" on one end to twist and tighten the roller. Best hairsetter I've found in a long, long time.

Sorry the rollers are not packaged very well and the lid was broken when received so returned them unused and never reordered because of obvious shipping problems with the thin box they are shipped in the company refused to replace them and ship them in a heavier better padded container.

They get hot but not so hot that you can't roll your hair. The problem is getting these to stay in your hair.
1949915
I don't have any trouble handling them when they are ready. The ends are hot so avoid that, but the roller itself has some newer kind of casing than my really old ones did.

As long as you don't stick your fingers in the hole that absorbs the heat, the rollers themselves are easily handled.

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.

The rollers definitely stay put. They don't sag or slip. The flocking is to protect your hair. I have fine hair and really like these. I can't imagine them falling "right out" of anyone's hair (regardless of type). Hope this helps.

I think that depends slightly on the level of heat that you're using. I use them on an electric range, and if you crank it up to full, they can get a bit uncomfortable to handle. They don't burn you just by touching them, but you'd grab a towel or mitt before picking it up. Otherwise they don't get particularly hot, and I pick up the pan to stir things without any problems (even at about 3/4 heat, which is the highest I usually ever go).

Indeed they do. They can get very hot. I use mine before they reach full temp and let the sit in my hair for at least 10 minutes. Depending on your hair, they will produce a very nice and tight curl!! I love mine and highly recommend these. I even used them when my hair was long and still got very good results.

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

Not a problem for me, as I have fine, thin hair. I would not use them if my hair was thicker , or longer. I personally love them. My hair is just below my ears, so this is a good product for me. If I am in a hurry and don't take the time to roll the product properly with my hair, it will snarl up. Hope this helps you.

You have to push them forward towards your head as much as possible. I have also had to use a wide u metal clip from another set plus the roller clip to hold the roller at my crown. I love that the rollers give long soft curl but a better clip securing the roller would be an improvement.

There's no way to adjust the temp. If you only put the rollers on the top rows where you're supposed to put the smaller rollers and cycled them out they probably wouldn't get as hot. The top rows don't get as hot as the lower ones.

I have thick hair and long hair....they work well in my hair but I have to use FOUR sets of rollers for a tight curl. Less for a looser curl, but still more than one set

No way to adjust the temp. My advice would either be to take them out sooner, or brush the curls out after you take out the rollers, and avoid hairspraying until they are as wavy as you'd like them.

No, and you wouldn't want it to! My hair is to my shoulders and layered. I roll my hair up on the barrel and turn the heat to high, then to cool and the style is set. I've used the ones that spin and I've never been able to use them without getting my hair all tangled up.

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.

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.

They are pretty flemsy. You have to be careful fastening them but I sleep in mine & have been able to keep them in. I secure the roller to my head with a bobby pin.

No, these rollers are used on dry hair. They are much gentler than curling irons or straighteners.

I think hair that is at least 6" long would be best. You have to pull your hair kind of tight to get it to stay put. There is no need to be neat when using these rollers. Any which way will do just fine. They fall out of thin short hair but work well with a little mousse to hold them in your hair. Don't expect really wet, thick hair to dry quickly. Sleep all night in them and dry your hair somewhat before you set it. Not a pretty sight wearing these, but the end result is surprisingly not bad at all!
