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

 Perfect July 17, 2010
Nana (Dallas)
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,
 They Work! April 20, 2010

I read many reviews before purchasing my first set of hot rollers. I started out with the other Conair set,(Xtreme Instant Heat) with the different sizes. It worked well and yes, the clips are hard to work with but ultimately I exchanged it for the jumbo (and SUPER jumbo) curlers because I have long hair. If you are trying to achieve lots of curls and your hair is on the shorter side, than the smaller sized rollers are perfect for you. If you are like me, attempting to get the Gisele Bundchen waves then the jumbo size curlers are perfect for that! The problem is not the curlers, but how you use them.
Your hair MUST be blown dry and even better if it was not recently washed. DO NOT straighten your hair before curling because although it may still work you are decreasing your chances of a perfect result. It takes practice to be able to use these properly, and yes the clips could be more convenient to use, but they are doable. Although the curlers can heat up in less than five minutes, I would give them at least ten. The longer they heat, the better they will hold your hair. Fifteen to twenty minutes in your hair is all the time you need. I honestly think that the people who gave this product bad reviews are just impatient and are expecting a perfect product, when one just does not exist in this category. Do not feel discouraged or afraid to use these, personally, I feel that they are more efficient than a curling iron.
CONSENSUS: I give this a solid four stars because I am still waiting for CHI or Sedu to come out with an awesome professional set that has no flaws, whatsoever. This is the only set that I have seen that comes with super jumbo sized rollers (over 1.5") which is really great for people with long hair. Do not hesitate to invest in these.

I have had Conair instant rollers for years and years. Yes, the plastic top always cracks but the rollers are great! However, this model is a complete waste. The clips don't fit the jumbo rollers, and they don't keep the others in place. I dropped a clip on the floor (because it was SO unwieldy) and the clip itself broke. I wish I could get my money back, but I was so confident in Conair that I threw away my receipt.
