Review (5/5): as i've had SO many bad experiences. i purchased the conair rollers almost as ...
i've not had a chance to try these but they are identical to the mixed pack of conair rollers i bought at (shame) walmart. i've spent literally hundreds of dollars on devices to curl my undamaged, straight, thick hair, which i decided to grow out after years of frustration unable to find someone to cut it the way i asked. my hair won't hold a curl for anything, and i REALLY don't want to damage it with a perm, as i've had SO many bad experiences. i purchased the conair rollers almost as a joke, remembering slightly similar ones my mom had 50 years ago.
THESE ARE THE SAME THING. the sizes are smaller, greate for my uneven bits, (i used to wear the original dorothy hamill wedge. try getting THAT hair cut at my age, in this day and age [ yeah, i skated in the 70's, we all wore it, another story], but it's impossible to find someone who can actually do that cut, at least where i live (check out my yelp) and it's hell growing it out.
long story short, these are the same curlers as the name brand, which have worked AMAZINGLY (oh, honeys, skip that weird thing that is supposed to suck up your hair and curl it for you? for $200+ i had smelled like a perm, and had flat hair. every thing else burned me). i have sat 1) in the tub after shampoo, 2) late at night with dry hair watching tv, with and without product, 3) in the pool, catching rays, 4) stupidly mistaking a can of shave cream for mousse(!!) and still had wonderful results. i repeat, my hair is COARSE. STRAIGHT. i'm about to be 57, have very few silvers (dammit) but my hair has never behaved. i'm not good at it, but with the small rollers in my original kit, i've been able to put back in barrettes or combs and have it STAY. the three sizes i ordered here are all smaller and i'm rolling as i type. am already thrilled. THANK YOU!!!!
