Conair Hot Rollers, Instant Heat Compact, for Long & Medium Hair

This is a review of Conair's Instant Heat Compact Hot Rollers. I needed a small set of hot rollers and I really wanted mostly large rollers, so I purchased this set and also Conair's Compact Multi-Size Hot Rollers , thinking I could make my own set by combining them. After receiving them I decided not to try that as they are made of different looking materials. To test them, I rolled my hair using both types, so I could compare these against Conair's Compact Multi-Size. I am a middle-age woman with fine hair, and it has always been a challenge to get hot rollers to stay in my hair when I use them and to get my hair to stay on the rollers. Not with these! I have used many different types of hot rollers over the past decade, and I have never, ever found a hot roller that stayed in my hair like the Conair Instant Heat Compact Hot Rollers! For that reason alone I would give this set five stars. These rollers produced a long lasting, strong curl. They stayed in my hair the whole time (probably 20 minutes), even as I went about my daily tasks while waiting for them to cool. I have almost shoulder length, fine hair, but I have plenty of it. There is only one con that I noticed on these and that is I struggle to get them back into the case. I think there is a certain way they fit back in and I did not notice what it was when I first used them. But that is so minor compared to finding rollers that work so well with fine hair. A great buy - I highly recommend these. UPDATE: I have now had these rollers a couple of weeks and I actually got a second set so I would have more jumbo rollers overall. I keep them plugged into a surge protector strip and whenever I want to heat them, I just turn the strip on. Fitting the rollers back into the case got easier when I saw that the bottom part fits in a certain way. If you do not click the roller into place, it does not heat well the next time. See photos for detail. Overall, I still really like these rollers, but I still wish Conair offered a set of about 16 jumbo rollers with only 4-6 smaller ones. The jumbo ones produce a much prettier (non-poodle looking) curl.

These rollers are like the ones I used in college. I love them. I have shoulder length hair. Can go to bed w my hair wet, roll in the morning, leave rollers in while showering and putting on make up, a little spray and I’m done. So easy. These hold curl so much better than the velvety ones. My delivery arrived without the clips but I had some. I’ll need to get more.

These do not get hot! In addition they do not sit tight on the heating element so you need to push and turn to get them securely in place. My experience has been very disappointing. Would not recommend. One star for easy travel case.

The size of the rollers is nice and compact and you can easily travel with them. The instant heat is misleading. Yes, they are warm in just a few minutes, but if you have longer hair or want a tighter curl, the rollers need to be really warm. I found that by heating them 10 minutes or more, they work much better. I do wish there were more of the larger sized rollers. I have long hair and could definitely use more rollers. They do produce a nice wave. For the price, they are ok and if you need to travel with rollers they are definitely compact. I would definitely look for another model if you want them for every day use.

From the negative reviews I did not expect much from these, which I bought to use for travel, but I am perfectly happy with them. Maybe it's because I have been using hot rollers since they first became available in the 70s, but I find nothing wrong with these. They are the smallest set I have ever seen, which is what I wanted. I chose only four stars because I would have preferred a set with all "jumbo" rollers, and I only really need six or seven. I suppose the little ones will come in handy when I get my next haircut, though. To address the common complaints: The rollers do not have to feel blazing hot to your hand in order to work. The first time I used them I let them heat for about ten minutes, and they were only warm to the touch. I put them in anyway thinking I could always let them heat up longer if they didn't work. They worked fine, giving me great bouncy long-lasting curls even though they weren't hot enough to singe my ears like other sets I've owned. If you take a second or two to actually LOOK at the clips (which are indeed all tipped in white) it is *obvious* that there are three distinct sizes. If you use a clip that is the wrong size for the roller, it will either fly across the room or the roller will fall out of your hair. Start with the biggest rollers and the biggest clips, and you'll be fine. I should have ignored the negative reviews and not bought the Conair super clips to go with them, because they are not needed. The wire clips work just fine. Put them in from UNDER the roller, going against the direction of the curl, with the rounded end close to your scalp and the open end (bent end on top) sticking up. I actually prefer the wire clips because the big clips on my regular set always leave crimps in my hair. The wire clips never do. For the record, my hair is right at shoulder length and baby fine, and there's a lot of it. I had no "frizzy ends" issues at all. To sum up: They're small, they're designed well, they're perfect for travel (with dual voltage too!), they do the job, they won't burn your ears, and for Maude's sake, they only cost $11.58! You'd pay more than that for a premium martini.

These are exactly what I wanted. I have medium texture shoulder length hair. I heated them for about 10’ and left them in 20’ after washing and drying my hair. Perfect bouncy curls. Ten rollers was just the right amount for me. I’ve had larger sets just like these but quit using them a few years ago. I gave them away or something 🤷‍♀️ These are made just as well as the original ones from years ago.

This is my first time trying heated rollers so I can’t compare, but I bought these for a wedding and I’m glad I did. Getting ready took longer than I thought, but I popped these in my hair when I started doing my makeup and took them out before we left for the ceremony and I had lots of body and curl all day (with hairspray) and I barely did anything to my hair other than put these in. The rollers have a comb side which really helps the hair smooth out and not get tangled. The clip things aren’t great, but they do the job with some adjustments. The package is small and was great for travel. For the price and convenience I’m really pleased. It was a little weird having different size curlers which created different curls on my head, but there were too few of each to use just one type of curler at a time. So I’m not sure if I just don’t know how to use the different curlers properly to get a good effect, or if I should buy a separate set of just large or medium rollers. I have no idea. If you have advice, please share. But the effect with all the rollers on my head wasn’t bad, just a little wild-looking ;)

First let me say this set is absolutely wonderful. You have the following; 4 small rollers 5 medium rollers and 3 big rollers. This set is great for those with above the shoulder or short hair. The system heats up quickly. You must keep the carry bag closed and the rollers retain the heat. The system comes with hair pins that hold the rollers in place and they do an excellent job of it if you know how to use them. I saw other reviews where people complained about the pins. Guess what you have to know how to use the rollers and how to set your hair. Sometimes it takes practice all systems have hair clips that you must use or even if you get the Caruso curler the shell holds. This system is compact that you can put it in a large purse or a tote bag and away you go. This is an excellent system for short hair gals. It's fast while you have your haired rolled up it gives you the opportunity to do other things. The curls with these rolers stay for me but I must say it's not the roller that determines if your hair curler will stay it's your hair type if it's hard to curl then you must use some product then try the rollers. Spend some time with the system it's not that hard to do I would advise that on any hair styling product. I found this system to be excellent and would advise anyone with short hair to get this.

Heat up very quickly

Funcionan muy bien. Pero era un regalo y la cumpleañera prefirió devolverlo por no tener pinzas. Yo no me los quedo porque ya tengo. Se calientan rápido y hacen tirabuzones que aguantan hasta que te lavas el pelo.

Me llegaron a tiempo, son prácticos, portátiles y muy fáciles de usar. Me encantaron. Gracias!
