Disappointing....,

This review is from: Hot Tools HT1357 5 Professional Supersize Flocked Rollers with Cool Touch Ends, 1 3/4 Inches (Misc.)
I purchased this travel setter because the Conair setter (which works amazingly well) takes up too much room when packing. The Helen of Troy set was a huge disappointment. First of all the top doesn't fit securely. Next, the clips don't hold tightly so you end up with those little crease lines in your hair (not attractive). Third, the rollers are extremely hard to handle when heated--the edges are extremely hot (never had that issue with the Conair set). I was so frustrated when trying to use this product on a recent vacation that I literally left it in the hotel room rather than bother carrying it home.

Biggest hot curlers on the market, but flawed.,

This review is from: Hot Tools HT1357 5 Professional Supersize Flocked Rollers with Cool Touch Ends, 1 3/4 Inches (Misc.)
Turning frizzy hair into sleek, nearly-straight waves requires really BIG hot rollers. This set has five extra-large rollers, the largest I've ever found, and no useless smaller ones. (Don't buy two sets. Buy one set and order extra rollers with the enclosed order form.)
It really works, if you can put up with some inconveniences:
Wear gloves when handling the heated rollers. The cool tip is too small, and the plastic edges are too hot to handle.
The clamps leave a horizontal "dent" in the curl. Fix it with a hair dryer and styling brush after removing the rollers.
For travel or storage, find a large rubber band to secure the lid. It does not snap into place.
Heed the warning and keep out of reach of children. The heating plate is exposed and the curlers are *very* hot.
If you cannot tolerate the inconveniences, consider Conair's "Big Curl", with slightly smaller rollers--and a loopy curl--but superior product...Read more
