Customer Reviews of Conair CHV14JXR Extreme Heat Jumbo and Super Jumbo Rollers
Customer Review: Curlers stay in place as well as any hot rollers do......
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite the concerns expressed by others, I went ahead and purchased these since I needed some large/jumbo hot rollers to help de-frizz/straighten my hair. They heat up very quickly (a big plus over my 90s set...or was that the 80s.....?). I echo the concerns of others that the lid hinge is delicate (a.k.a. "cheesy").
I do find that the wire clips are about 1/2 inch too short for optimal hold. However, as long as you don't break-dance, the curlers stay put reasonably well. I did not have the significant problems that some experienced making the curlers stay in---but my hair is thick and medium-long. Again, Mr. Conair could have done us all a favor by making the wire clips a tiny bit longer.
Customer Review: Great on African-American hair!
Summary: 4 Stars
This set is great! I purchased it from Walmart, recently marked down to $19.99. I was skeptical at first. I have relaxed but thick African-American hair and wasn't sure if the "velvety" surface would interfere. It heated quickly, in a matter of minutes. And the fabric surface actually helped my hair adhere to the roller. The rollers were not too hot to handle. The metal, u-shaped clips are a little tricky and can push back the hair a bit when pushed on, but didn't really matter in the end. The results after 10 minutes were nice, big curls. It didn't leave my hair OVER curled, like a hot curler might do sometimes. Plus my hair didn't dry out and it maintained it's shine. This set is definitely a keeper!Customer Review: These rollers work great
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently had to retire a set of Conair hot rollers...they were about 10 years old and the flocking was coming off. After looking at higher priced brands I decided to stick with Conair and try the Extreme Heat set. I love them! My hair is long and layered, and while my original Conair set was nice, these rollers are a great improvement. My hair has a pretty, soft curl yet it looks relaxed--not too poofy on top. Rollers do heat up fast and the pins work just fine. The only thing I would caution is to watch how you set them on your head--I tend to secure them too tightly and it is too hot on my scalp. Still learning how to use this set but I do think it is a great product. Definitely worth the buy!Customer Review: My Curls Didn't Last
Summary: 1 Stars
I have long, straight, fine hair and was very excited to receive this product. I read the reviews and tips, let the curlers heat up for a long time, left them in for a long time, sprayed my roots with hairspray, etc. When I took the curlers out my hair looked great, for about 45 minutes... then I was left with a gross hair sprayed mess... what do you do then? I started the process over and heated the curlers up again, left them in a long time, took them out and they looked great, for another 45 minutes.
Now I only with I could return them. I'm sure it is just my hair type since my curling iron has the same affect. I have ordered the Caruso steam curlers now as a last hope...
Customer Review: let them heat longer than 2 minutes
Summary: 4 Stars
The first time I used my new rollers they worked amazingly, but the next few times I was disappointed that the curl would fall right out of my thick straight hair. After trial and error, I discovered that if I let the curlers heat up for about 10 minutes (rather than the two that are advertized), I end up with fantastic curls that will last until the next time I wash my hair. One other 'downside' is the clips that come with the set - they leave me with little crimp marks in my hair. I highly recommend buying the conair SPC10R super clips. They don't leave marks, and they hold the rollers in place far more securely. On the whole, though, I am very satisfied with this product.
