How long do I wait for the curlers to heat up before I use? The light doesn't change to show any indication and there is no user manual.

Just a couple of minutes. I usually wait 5 and do something else while they are heating.

I usually plug in n wait like 10 minutes. Just to be safe they're good n hot.

I would say that it takes longer than it does with most hot roller appliances-give it a good five minutes?

My other sets never did either. I do it by felling the temperature. I know when it's just right versus too hot or not hot enough. Try it at different heat and see how long it takes to curl your hair the way you like it best!

All you do is plug it in, turn it on till it warms up, then roll your hair when when the rollers are warm. I leave my in at least 10 minutes.

There is a light that indicates that a unit is on, not that the rollers are ready.It takes 5 minutes to warm them up, super fast I find. If I want more definition I leave them on 10 to 15 minutes. Best.

Mine does that too. I think it happens when you have it on for too long. The manual says that it takes two minutes to heat up the lotion. When it's heating up the light will be on.

Hi Amber, it gets very hot. Hotter then your regular curler. Also it doesn't have any support "legs" if you want to put it down so I was hanging it over the towel holder "bar"

I just used the pink one. Didnt really know how to use it either but it worked. It has been 6 weeks and they are still curley. Just make sure not to go over the recommented time.

Some sat they use a curling stick I personally used the Iron like the instructions recommended you should practice first on a different area. You might have to try it a few times but the iron and the heating stick that comes with the kit worked fine for me. Hope this helps you.

Make sure your hair is dry to begin with. Let roller sit on steamer for 10 seconds so it has plenty of steam to get through all the hair. Roll it good and tight. Put the cap on the steamer for a couple seconds to get it hot and then clamp it on the roller. Then your hair is being steamed from both directions. Let it set in the rollers 20-30 min. The longer the better. Once you take the rollers out, put your hair dryer on the lowest setting and on COOL. The cool hair will set the curls so they will last longer. I have thick hair too and the weight of it can pull out the curls. You can also lightly hair spray the curls and use the cool setting on hair dryer to give the curls extra support. I LOVE these curlers. Can be a pain to get in the back side of your head but man the results are so worth it! My hair dresser has me bring my set every time because she loves the results too! It seems like they wouldn't work that well but they really do as long as you don't take them out too soon and you roll them tight. Good luck!

if you can .. with average temperature in your curling iron, when he made &#8203;&#8203;this curl hold it in hand a few minutes until it is cold and then released ... is wonderful ....

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.

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

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.

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

I use heated velvet curlers. I got them from ulta. Do NOT use heat tools like metal curlers or straighteners on them. They will melt. Use foam rollers in hot water or heated velvet ones. They work great. Also be sure to comb them often, brushes can pull hairs out.

I went to Walgreens and got a cheap $10 coil burner so I didn't have to light these on my stove. I throw them on till one side is glowing red flip it then wait for it all to glow. Usually takes like 10 minutes to light three.

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

My light blinks while it is warming up and then again as I use it. It has to warm back up as you use it because your hair cools it down. Hope that helps, if it doesn't stop blinky I would contact your seller becuase maybe it isn't reaching the correct temp and that can hurt your hair.
