Revlon Rv261 20-Roller Ionic Professional Hairsetter, Purple

They are a great buy!

This is a great hair setter, however, after I used it a few times, the internal heat components of two of the smallest rollers completely fell apart. But by this time, it was too late to return it. I don't use the smallest ones, so it really doesn't matter. This set heats up very quickly (10 minutes) and gets really hot. My hair is hard to curl and the rollers have to be very, very hot in order to create curls. I'm pleased to say that I get great results with this set. I really hate to mess with my hair and won't spend more time than the few minutes it takes to roll it up. I wash my hair at night and then let it dry overnight and apply my makeup while the rollers are cooling. They stay hot enough for long enough to create pretty waves in my hair. I also like the clips that come with the set. Plastic clamps result in crimp marks so I'm glad this set has the old fashioned metal u-shaped clips, which never mark the hair. The plastic top is a bit unwieldy and it makes no difference whether the top is on or off when the rollers are heating up. The only reason I keep it is that sometimes I need to pack it into a suitcase and it helps the rollers stay in place. The little tray for storing the clips is not large enough to accommodate all the clips. This is not a problem since I simply leave them all on the bathroom counter. This set was reasonably priced and works so well I would have paid more for it. The rollers grip the hair easily too. All in all, I'm satisfied with my purchase despite the problem with the small rollers. The chances of that happening to someone else is small. Still, it's a good set and a good buy.

When I was reading all the reviews, I almost didn't want to buy this unit. I decided to give it a chance anyways, because it wasn't so expensive and it was recommended by a website for thin hair. Even if it turns out bad, I could live with a loss of 20 dollars rather than 40 or 50 dollars.After giving this baby a couple tries, I wanted to write a good review to do it justice.I have thin hair, which used to be fine but has been slightly damaged lately. So how your hair reacts to a set of hot rollers really depends on the type of your hair. I think I got lucky with this set. It's hard for my hair to hold a curl, and I'm not very good with curling iron.For the price, I can't complain. My curls turn out great and they last almost all day. I mean, of course, most of them fall out of them by the end of the day. Any curls would. I don't use any hair products except heat protection & hair shine. I use toilet paper as end papers, so I don't have any frizz at the end. The rolls do get kind of hot, but they shouldn't burn your fingers if you know what your you're doing. You're not supposed to let your finger touch the rolls for too long. Quickly wrap your hair around the rolls to reduce the time your fingers having direct contact with the rolls.My point here is, this unit works great. How your curls turn out has a lot to do with how you roll them. If you're new at this, spend sometime practicing. The clips could be better, but they still work. They do hold your rolls up, just got to find the spot. The reviews made the clips sound horrifying. They're not. The hold the rolls up just fine. Again, it all comes down to learning curve.

This is my all time favorite hot curler set. My last one finally died after years of daily use and I didn't want to wait while something was shipped to me, so I actually went shopping and bought another brand as a replacement. What a mistake! I tried it once and returned it. Then I ordered the Revlon Professional and admitted I'd learned my lesson. I love this set because it heats up fast, and produces lasting curls. Yes, the rollers DO get hot - but that's the whole point isn't it? Besides, they have cool edges that let you put them in, so no problem. The nubs on the rollers help hold them in your hair, and they don't tangle as you take the curlers out. (And I have very long hair, so if they were going to tangle they'd tangle in mine.) Plus the thin metal clips do NOT leave crimps in your hair like the clunky fit-over-the-entire-curler clips do. (And I don't care WHAT the advertising says, those thingsZ DO leave crimps.) Yes, the lid is not hinged, but that's kind of good because it doesn't keep slamming down on your unsuspecting hand as you reach in for a roller. You just lift it off and set it aside. When you're done you put it back on. Slick. It has an on/off switch with a red light that lets you know when it's on. It's reasonably light weight and narrow enough to fit on most bathroom vanities. And it lasts forever. Well, at least a long time...my last one lasted for YEARS. What more could you ask for in a hot curler set? My advice? Stop shopping - just go buy a Revlon Professional. (you can thank me later...)
