Comment: These jumbo rollers are very easy and convenient to use, the box is small and light, so you can definitely take them with you on your trips. However, there is one thing you need to know before you purchase this product: it is completely useless on long and thick hair. I have tried heating them for over an hour and leaving them on my hair for over 2 hours. Still, when I take them off, there wouldn't be a slightest hint of a curl in my hair. My hair is naturally wavy, but after using these curlers, it would actually get straighter.
I have tried using them on dry hair, slightly wet hair, right after washing my hair, two days after washing my hair, with or without product - all to no avail. I have tried using them on only half of my hair, as some readers have recommended but the result is still a slightly straighter hair and no trace of a curl.
So if your hair is long and thick, this is definitely not a product for you.

Summary: Great Buy For Fine Hair! 2010-08-10
Comment: heats up in less than a minute! is pretty small, doesn't take up a lot of room. i have super fine hair that lacks body but these curlers work wonders! i blow dry my curly hair straight then put these rollers in for about 20 mins and voila! body all day. the 5 rollers are perfect for me, i do one on top, two on side, and two in back. the clips it comes with to secure the rollers are great also. this product allows you to quickly get volume, body and a great style that really does last throughout the day!

Summary: Jumpo Rollers for Travel 2010-07-15
Comment: I've been using it for about two months. It's easy to use and heat very quickly. But there are not enough rollers. It's better with the full set of 12 rollers. It's good for traveling. All in all, I recommended.

Summary: Not as good as the standard ones 2010-06-15
Comment: I have long hair and I use the standard Conair hot rollers almost everyday. I found these rollers to be slower to heat, not as hot as the home set, and too bulky. I bought these because I feel hot rollers cut down on the time it takes me to do my hair everyday however by the time they got hot and I added two more (5 is not enough for my hair) I found that this took more time than my travel curling iron and yielded less satisfactory results. Furthermore, they are bulky, the clips are big as well, and I will be much better off skipping these on my next trip.
