Instant Heat Jumbo&Super Rolle
Amazon.com Review
For big, bodacious curls in record time, look no further than this set of Instant Heat jumbo rollers from Conair. A dozen 1-1/2-inch diameter rollers heat up in just two minutes, so you don't have to start plotting three days in advance to get your curls in progress. Twelve pins are included to hold the rollers in place. This is a modernized version of the roller sets of yesteryear: it's compact, lightweight, and efficient, and the velvety covering on the rollers helps protect your hair from heat damage. Who knew you could get so much glamour in so little time? --Erin Brown

 buy the clips August 31, 2010

I have very thick long hair and these rollers worked just fine. I agree with the other reviews...buy the suggested clips! The ones that come with the rollers are useless. I didn't buy them at first, but went back and purchased them after one use.
 Makes nice curls, but.... August 23, 2010

You need two hands to turn it on or off, one to hold the case and one to move the switch. The switch "on" position is to the left, kind of odd for a product sold in the U.S. The clips are horrible, horrible, horrible.

This is a true large roller set & is perfect for longer thick heavy hair. They give frizzy hair a smooth look that lasts all day no matter the weather. I can't use a curling iron & good hot rollers are not easy to find in stores except for the small size. These were cheaper than the ones I bought at Walmart years ago. Very happy with this purchase. Only wish there was a small slot on rollers to hold the clips when not in use.

When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Such is my experience with the Conair instant heat jumbo-sized rollers.
I have long, straight, baby fine hair. As my hair grew past my shoulders I found that the old roller set I had, with the brown velvety colored rollers (you know the type, your moms have this set and it comes with three sizes of rollers and flexy metal stay put holders) wasn't giving me the big, bouncy 'Hollywood' curls I wanted so I looked around and found this set with it's jumbo rollers and instant heat styling.
Now, just to give you a little background, this isn't my first ride on the jumbo-roller-express. I bought a set of 8 jumbo rollers thirteen years ago, they were white, hard plastic with little poky things all around (I guess the pokies were meant to keep your hair from slipping off the rollers). They were an expensive waste of money. The rollers didn't get hot enough to do anything but make my head warm and the little pokies ripped my hair out (youch!).
Fast forward thirteen years, and I thought to myself, 'maybe the technology has caught up with jumbo rollers. I mean thirteen years ago we didn't have Ipods, super colliders and bedazzlers, surely something as simple as big bouncy curls can be achieved at home now!' I was pretty excited.
So, I bought these rollers and they suck almost as bad as the 1997 poky ones (on the plus side, they were less expensive). There is a strange dent in my hair from these rollers, they have a split in the side so that they can slide onto the heating element and the slit coincides with the dent. Speaking of heating, they don't. Heat up that is. I have tried giving them 5, 10, 15 and on one annoyingly boring day, 33 minutes to heat up and they just are never hot enough to do more than put a fuzzy dimple in my hair.
I've tried the rollers on newly washed and dried hair, slightly damp hair, slightly dirty hair (skipped a day of washing) and nada, didn't make a difference.
Arrgh, anyway, I don't know how to get big bouncy (and quickly styled hair) without having giant can rollers and a blow dryer (I'm too lazy to try it, but I've seen movie stars in magazines with cans in their hair, so it must work, right?).
My search continues . . .

This was a replacement item and I absolutely love these curlers. The price is what drew me to the Amazon site and I already knew the products so it was a win-win situation,
