Does the light go from red to white once the curlers have heated up? If so, how long (aprox) does it take?

If they do, I have not seen that. I usually just wait about 10 minutes while I am lightly drying my hair and get them hot.

The light does go from red to white when the curlers are hot. I would guess that it is about 10 minutes or so.

No, the area does not turn red. It takes several minutes for the area to heat up. Not sure of the exact temperature, but it just gets very warm, not super hot. For me, the vibration feature is better than the heat, though the heat can be nice.

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.

I have had the curlers on longer than necessary to heat up, and they can get hot enough to make it difficult to hold while rolling (hot on your ears!!) I have a lot of hair, and they do the best curling over any hot curlers I have had in 40+ years.

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.

I've never noticed mine do that, but if I had to make an educated guess, it would be that your use of the flat iron is cooling it down to a temp lower than what you have it set at, turning the ready light red. If I am accurate, I would also assume it would very rapidly come back to temp and turn back to green. If it does not rapidly change back to green or is changing to red when you haven't used it, I would guess you have a defective product.

Yes, they have the propensity to get really hot depending on how long they are allowed to be heated. When I desire loose curls, I heat for roughly 5-8 minutes. For tighte curls, I sometimes leave the curlers on for between 15 - 30 minutes.

The light does stay red it does not change color. After the first initial charge, then I charge it by the hour according to how long I have used it.

The light starts off red; turns amber at some point in the cycle; then turns green when the batteries are fully charged. I've never timed it accurately, but I would guess it takes about 4-6 hours - since I don't know the beginning state of charge, take that with a grain of salt.

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

The rollers do get very hot, but if you are quick enough, you won't burn your fingers. I usually leave them in for 20 minutes and my hair will hold the curl all day. If you want some extra reassurance, you may want to use a light holding spray before you attach each roller.

the wax melts in about 1 1/2 hour or less. I keep the dial set in the middle to maintain wax hot ready. The red light will go on when it is heating the wax. When only the green light is on its ready to use. Always check temperature before putting hands or feet. It can get very hot.

No, there is no way to control the temperature. However, the curlers are not as hot if you use them after the first 60 to 90 seconds that you plug them in. They tout that they are ready to use after 60 seconds and they are but they will get hotter if you let them sit longer before you use them.

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

Yes! It has automatic shutoff and the loop on the end is the perfect place to put your fingers while curling so they don't get burned! Truly a perfect curler!

it heats up within a few seconds not like minutes. This can style you hair just like a plug in curling iron, I use it for those days fly away days :-)

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.
