Are these rollers good for short hair also? Most of the reviewers have long hair

depends how short you need the hair to go around the roller. so try the small or med ones

If you get the set of 30, you will have 12 rolls six small & six petite. It should be more than adequate to do your hair. You'll then have larger ones for a wavy result.

I have long hair, however, I believe they will work well on shorter hair. I use them on my bangs and they work well to add some fullness to them.

My hairs shoulder length but they have some small enough for short hair so I would think so. Sorry I'm not much help.

Depends on how short your hair is, but there are small rollers in the "starter kit." You can buy clips for short hair separately, according to one site I saw, plus buy smaller rollers.

I read some reviews before my purchase where women complained about the clips too.. I also read that some did find other clips that work better, I would just be careful, if the clips are metal they will get hot, you could burn yourself so just be cautious when handling them.. I found the clips to work a lot better when I have the rollers in pretty tight.. Good luck!!

I couldn't find any large rollers any where for sale. I have a lot of hair so I bought these as extra set. I bought a bigger set at Sally Beauty. I use like 12 total.

These should work with any hot rollers, they are just like hair clips- just lighter weight. I prefer them to the ones that come with the rollers.

Yes they are. Great for my curly dry hair. I don't know why others are complaining,maybe they're not using the appropriate type for the appropriate hair.

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.

My hair is very curly and like cotton candy. I use these rollers to get control and they certainly help. I've tried all kinds and I have to say I'm happier with these but not so much with the way they are secured. I've yet to find the perfectally secured hot roller. Hope this helps.

They pretty much do stay on, even if it's thin hair. However my problem was not if they would stay on, but the "frizzy's" those little ribs on the rollers cause.

I find that they stay in well with my thick hair. I am parting into smaller sections and using them either to hold in rollers or to just hold a ringlet in place. They work great for me.

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 am Frank's wife. He bought the dryer for me (No, not as a Christmas present). I also have fine short hair. I use the dryer when I use rollers because it has a wide opening so it covers a large area at one time. I have also used it as you describe with fairly good results but my hair won't hold a curl and has a lot of cowlicks. The prongs that came with it are heavy and my arms are weak so I have less success with that.

I don't think your hair needs to be at least six inches long for these to work. Mine is much shorter BUT I also bought a triangle net for under a couple dollars. Put the net on covering your bottom row of rollers in the back, pull it a bit so it will keep the rollers in place and tie it at the top of your forehead. This works perfect for me. Keeps the rollers in, and in place and all rolled up.

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.

No, they are only about 3" long. They are very good for thinner, fine hair.

Yes, without heat these rollers produce curls. Depending on your hair texture they may be tight. But they are pliable and loosen throughout the day.

They re to BE used on dry hair. Use a dryer any which Way (no need to Style) abd Then put The rollers in.

These may work on very slightly DAMP hair but don't think they will work on very wet hair. My hair also is very fine and I find these rollers are very gentle.
