Is there a way to adjust the temp? They get very hot &amp; leaving them in my long hair for just a few min creates very defined curls, when I want waves.

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.

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.

My hair is thick and course and very wavy, and it works for me. They heat up VERY quickly, and I blow dry my hair first, so I put them in my hair as soon as they are ready, but manual says if you need to, let them heat a little longer, and leave them in until they are cool, but I don't have to do that. If you don't like hot rollers, the only alternative is a flat iron. I prefer the rollers. I use them to smooth out my hair and turn it under at the bottom, also have bangs, but they would certainly work for curls to a certain extent, but this set is the set with larger rollers for more body or smoothness, rather than curls. Set with some smaller rollers would work better for tighter curls. My hair is thick and course and very wavy, and it works for me.

Yes I curled mine on the highest heat setting, and then straightned it again, but like any normal hair im sure if you left it on for to long it will burn, i left my heat iron on my counter for to long and it burned that. It gets staticy though so use a light mist spray bottle to keep it down. But to answer your question yes! :)

They get pretty hot, but not super hot. Hot enough to really give me some volume though. If you're looking for a tight curl, you'll probably want a smaller diameter.

Request replacement from Amazon (yours is defective). Mine defaults to 390 degrees when first turned on and it's a perfect temp. You can decrease or increase (for wet hair) from there. Btw: after a few months of owning, I still love using this Shine Therapy model. Return yours, and you'll see for yourself.

They are false (synthetic, plastic fiber) hair. But, even the cheapest junk wig can be heat styled if you do it properly. Lowest heat setting, and keep the strand *fully wet* the entire time the heat tool is touching it. However, some heat tools do not have a low-enough setting; you're aiming for 70C or 160F. If it is too hot, the strands will frizz up even when wet.

I'm not sure how long or short your hair is, however, I have short hair, just touching shoulders. I have tried using the Caruso rollers vertically & yes I get waves if I use the larger rollers. I hope you enjoy your Caruso, I absolutely love mine, I won't use curling iron or any other type of hot curlers, these give me full looking hair!

Angie - the highest temp setting is 50, and the range of the heat settings is 1-50 so it gets extremely hot. I've never personally cranked it the whole way up, I keep it around 30-35 and I have wavy hair with some random curls at the nape of my neck and it straightens my hair just fine. Hope that helps!

The old school u-shaped clips that poke in your hair are what is supposed to hold the roller in place. However, I have found that the clips are too small and too short and I was constantly pinning them back in so my hair would curl. The rollers do not get very hot. I even left them plugged in for a longer time. When the processing time was over, I found that I had nice, soft and long-lasting curls, but not without a great deal of effort.

Well I'm very familiar with synthetic hair, if you put heat on it, it has to be the LOWEST set of heat to it, and there is a lot of YouTube tutorials on how to curl or straighten synthetic hair without heat.

my hair is probably inbetween thick and thin. there is no temperature control, so this things heats up quick and gets super hot. if i were you i would look for one that has better temperature control so you don't fry your hair off.

Yes you can adjust the temperature. I've never had an issue with my hair burning with this tool.

I can use heat tools unless it's not too hot, there are none instructions in the package where I got the extensions, but in Amazon you can find artificial hair treatments such as wig shampoo or wig treatments, I hope this could be helpful ;-).

Yes they can produce loose curls, however only if you wear them for a 1-2hrs. (At least for my hair, you'll probably have to experiment with them) The curl formers won't produce the perfectly same effect/style as a curling iron would do, but at least it's not damaging your hair with heat =) But if you plan on wanting loose curls after wearing them overnight, you won't be happy. Wearing the curl formers overnight (again, at least from my experience) made curls that were very tight and my hair pretty much looked like the curl former itself.

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.
