(More customer reviews)I had a set of these curlers back when I was a kid of the 80s. The one I had used salt in the water. It broke a couple of years later, not for lack of quality but for my clumsiness. I kept the curlers hoping to get another steamer. But, alas, they ended up in the appliance graveyard in the back of my shelf. When I once again desired to curl my hair, I instantly thought of this system. Back then I was a novice and since I was out of practice, I fear I only got worse with using hot rollers. But this time I bought 2 sets of Conair Pro Clips to use instead of the Caruso covers. I only wish I bought 2 more sets as they were so much better than those hard covers and produced a nicer curl w/o the "curl cap dent" that I was accustomed to with the Carusos. Also, the setting of the curl can get better results. I tried to just roll the curlers, let them set while getting my makeup on, and then unroll. But that did not yield the best results. I now use a soft bonnet hair dryer over the curlers. The curl is so much nicer and it seems to stay longer. It is an extra step but it is so worth the effort. While I am still learning more about the proper rolling technique, I at least do not have any frizzy results with the combination of clips and hair dryer.
Oh, I forgot to mention this: Before rolling my hair, I run a hair dryer through my hair and lightly spray my hair with ordinary hair spray. I don't even use setting gels, foams, etc...just cheap Alberto V05 'Hard To Hold' spray. Then I brush through my hair and start rolling.
As for the curlers, you may find that 30 rollers are not enough or that you don't need any of the tiny ones, extra large ones, or any combination of any other size. Instead of buying the extra rollers at $12.00 for a set of six, consider just purchasing another Caruso set. I needed more large, medium, and small rollers but not tiny or extra large. To buy three sets at $12.00 each, I would spend $36.00 plus shipping. Why not just buy another unit at $34.00? It has free super saver shipping. You do get 30 curlers (I do use the larger and smaller ones...just not as often) and you have a back up unit or a travel unit. On that note, the foam WILL eventually wear out and you will need to replace the curler or foam part. I can't find the foam part though. So that is another reason to get extra curlers before you need them.
To keep the curler part (foam) fresher: after you remove your curler, put it back on the steamer to "fluff" back up. I roll my hair pretty tight so the foam flattens tightly. The foam lasts much longer this way!
Happy Curling!!!
