Needed a last minute updo for an event snd these helped give me pin up curls to achieve the look i was going for. Not sure i would use them for every day use, but the curls lasted and were easy to use.

I like these curlers for doing more intricate vintage hairstyles with an overnight dry set.For a basic vintage dry set I prefer using a set of foam and wire silky cloth rollers that I also bought on Amazon.I bought these originally from Amazon but they came damaged so I purchased the same set elsewhere for more money because shipping was not included.🤷🏽‍♀️Oh well 😔 Lets get on to the review shall we?I have long very thick hair and bangs plus I don’t use heat on my hair, but I love to rock vintage hairstyles.Since it’s kinda hard to get the right kind of vintage curl if you don’t use heat and have long hair especially if you have African American hair and want your edges to be smooth *** I have 3c edges and the rest is 2b/c ***, I’m gonna give you an example of how I use these to create vintage styles like the one in the picture.There are a ton of ways to do this style, this is just how I have to do it for my hair type.🤓As I primarily sleep in my curlers, I usually only do the front with these particular curlers because sleeping in regular foam rollers is uncomfortable.I prefer to use the foam and wire rollers for the back because they are like sleeping on mini pillows. These foam ones were absolute murder in the back to sleep in for me and I’ve been sleeping in rollers, even the hard plastic variety!!!!!, for 20 years.If I am doing a day set and not sleeping in them, I use the entire color variety of curlers which is what I did for the hair in the picture.How I used these:I begin with my normal side part.Then I part my hair with a rat tail comb starting from the tip of one ear over to the tip of the other ear.I clip the rest with a claw clip so it’s out of the way.I take the less hair heavy section and clip it so it’s out of the way as well, then I take the heavier hair section and start to part it.I slightly dampen the parted sections with a curl cream, then starting from the top of my head, I take the first section of hair from the middle of the section and place it on top of the open blue curler.Then I place a finger on top of the hair that’s directly on the roller ***to keep it steady and the curl smooth ***and use my other hand to wrap the bottom part of my hair around the curler in an over under motion to the end.You can generally remove your finger once you have wrapped it the first time.It usually takes about 6-8 winds around the curler to get the bottom part of my curl all wrapped up.I then grip both ends of the curler so that the hair stays on and is smooth and continue to roll the hair up to my scalp making sure to pull taught so all my crinkly edges get in there, taking care to ensure the curl tip is smooth and tucked into the roller when finished, then snap the curl bar down.The first curl is rolled with the hair over the curler from the middle in an over under motion and the next with the hair wrapped in an under over motion till you reach the scalp.Continue rolling the curls like this until you reach the end.It’s important to figure out how many pieces to section off so that the last curler is rolled in an under over motion towards your scalp.I had 4 sections, but if I want it to be even more elaborate, I have 6.Repeat on the other side.For the remaining hair in the back, I part it down the middle and roll each separate side from the top down. I do it this way because it’s easier to sleep in them for me and it’s become a habit even when I’m not sleeping in em, but you can section your hair all the way across your head in the more traditional manner if you prefer.I clip off one side with the claw clip and start sectioning the other side of my hair from the top.I use the large pink ones for the top 2 rows for volume ***rolled with the hair over***, the green for the following 2 rows and the yellow for the last 1-3 rows *** all but the first two rows are rolled with the hair in an under over motion around the roller till you reach your scalp***Repeat on the other side.My hair doesn’t like to hold a curl at the bottom but using the second to smallest roller in this set helps alleviate the problem.I cover my hair with either a head scarf or silk bonnet to keep the curls smooth and use a steam cap for 20-30 mins to set the curls if I’m doing a dry set.I also cover my hair when sleeping in the set to prevent breakage and to keep the curls smooth.If doing a dry set and not sleeping in the rollers,because I have a massive amounts of hair, it can take 4-6 hours for the hair to set.The steam cap is CRUCIAL to making sure the curls hold and your edges are steamed so they are smooth.I don’t want to tease you with partial knowledge, so since I described how to use the rollers to get the hair in the picture, I might as well finish you off and tell you how I created my curled results.🤓I take the back out first, finger comb the curls then twist one side into a tight high bun and repeat on the other side. If you want less volume, make the buns low.The buns have to be tight at the crown so that your edges are smooth when you take off your steam cap.Put on a steam cap for 10-20 mins and leave your hair in the buns after taking off the cap.Then take out the front. I take out the heavier side of my hair first, style it, then do the other side so I can blend them together easily and I don’t have a mass of hair to deal with all at once.I don’t comb the curls, I wind each curl around my finger and pin all the individual curls from the back so the pins don’t show, to my head with the little curled “o” facing forward. Do this for all the curls except the last curl at the bottom***the one you curled towards your head*** .I tease the last curl bottom starting at the base of my scalp up to about half the hair length, then I smooth the outside with the teasing brush, curl the curl around my finger towards my head and pin the curl up and behind the curl mass I previously created, with the curl o facing front.You may need to randomly put some more pins in the curl mass to secure it.I don’t have to use a smoothing cream for any flyaways or hairspray to set everything any longer due to my new hair care regime, but don’t be afraid to use either if the hair isn’t looking as polished as you’d like it to and to make sure the curls don’t fall.I love this hair style because I can put the back in ponytails when it’s hot, wear it with the back down and free flowing or put the back up in a chignon to make it extra fancy.🥳The other cool thing about this style is if you wear a silk bonnet to bed and twist up the back in a bun to sleep, you can keep the style fresh and looking fabulous for up to 4 days!These curlers give the best set for this type of style because the curl lasts for days.🥰I think this is a great set for the price and I’m super glad I bought them, I just wish the ones that had come from Amazon were not damaged.🤷🏽‍♀️

I've been using these for a few weeks now, and here are my thoughts.1.) Your hair must be the correct dampness for these to work. It might vary depending on your hair texture, but in my experience, the curls will not hold if my hair is too wet, and they also will not hold if I put them in my hair while it is completely dry. Your hair must be slightly damp, but not so damp that it isn't able to dry fully by the morning. It is a tightrope to walk.2.) The more sections you do, the more curls you will get. This may seem obvious, but yeah, you get more volume if you take the time to make smaller sections.3.) if you wind very tightly, it will warp the foam. Some of my rollers have indentations in the middle because I wound my hair too tightly on accident. I'm not sure if there is a way to reset the foam, so it is something to be careful of. And of course they will flatten slightly as you are sleeping in them because of the weight of your head.4.) These are easier to use than I expected. I had never used rollers before and was able to get great results on my first try. I am in no way talented with hair styling, in fact this is my way of making my hair look good without any effort because it is something I really struggle with--but as a self-proclaimed fashion person, hair and makeup sort of go with that, so I must make some effort, for the sakes of my outfits.All in all, I do like these. I'm not sure about their longevity, or if they are something that will just need to be replaced periodically. The integrity of the foam does change over time. They do make beautiful curls.

These are not the rollers from back in the day. If that is what you were expecting, these are not it. I have had curlers used in my hair since I was probably four years old. I am now going on 50 years old and these curlers are such weak plastic break apart hard to put together. The cheap plastic that they are using on everything nowadays makes these curlers unreliable, and I’m constantly having to click the foam rod to the square side, they just fall apart as you’re trying to roll them. For their price, I’m not surprised, but Conair knows better. I will keep them because they are so cheap in price, but will havemy eye out for a better brand or sturdier option, maybe at Sally beauty supply or an estate sale where the quality was good once.

Brings me back to the 80's! My daughter is just now starting to show an interest in curling her hair and I got these so she could experiment without damaging her hair with a curling iron or a perm. They work just like they did 40+ years ago. Somethings are tried and tested and prove that's why they last.

These work great! They’re well made, come in a variety of sizes for your needs, and are comfortable to sleep in. You get a lot of rollers in each set, making it a great value.
