Question 1

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you heat these up?

Accepted Answer

You leave them in the red case just like you received them, and plug them in until they're heated through, about 10+ minutes.

Question 2

I am a roller "virgin". I have never used them. How do you heat them up? Are they easy to use? Will they work on fine hair? Is one set enough?

Accepted Answer

This answer will be attributed to my husband because I'm answering on his Amazon account, but I am a woman with just-below shoulder-length hair. I bought this kit yesterday at Walmart and have yet to see how the actual ceramic rollers work as the "pins" they provide to hold the rollers in place DO NOT HOLD THE ROLLERS IN PLACE, and any woman who has ever curled her hair will see this right out of the box. If you have never used curlers, you will fuss and fiddle with these pins and think that you're doing something wrong---you aren't. It's the poor quality pins provided in this kit. They do not "fit" the rollers (the instructions tell you to place them "crosswise" over the roller but they aren't long enough for that). You can get a somewhat diagonal direction going, but by then you've pushed most the hair off the curler and possibly popped the pin off the roller too. I lost most the hair off the roller every time I tried to slide these awful pins on. It is obvious that no one actually TRIED these things out before Remington started selling them to the unsuspecting masses. The pins also allow the rollers to slid off your head, or to slide down onto your neck---a hot ceramic roller on the back of your neck doesn't feel too good. Of course, as I said, I saw that this was going to pretty much happen after opening the box, but thought, having rolled my hair for decades now, that I could work through it. Nope. I finally gave up. I hear you can buy spring-loaded plastic clips (the ones that look like a set sharp teeth--uppers and lowers--opening and closing) from Conair or one of those brands, but I haven't gone out and looked for those yet. $15.00 for a set of 10 ceramic rollers from Remington, and then $9.00 more, at least, for clips from another company that supposedly work. We'll see. I wanted these because blow-drying my hair is causing a lot of frizz and broken ends and I know other women who love ceramic rollers.

Question 3

If the rollers get hot are they impossible to handle?  Burnt fingers?

Accepted Answer

Hi there! I have not burned my fingers because  I have used the rollers by holding the ends, however i have had the rollers too close to my neck and felt the heat. I'be held the roller up with a rolled face towel until it cools enough to touch my neck.

Question 4

I have insanely straight hair, honestly, and I was wondering if this is going to be a good product for my hair?

Accepted Answer

My hair is also super straight and thin. I love this product not only because my curls all day (I use hair spray to set once I’ve styled it), it also gives my hair the body it needs.
