Promising Review: "Great product. My hair is straight as a stick, so when I 'try' to put some curl into it with a brush and blow dryer it doesn't work well. The little bit of curl I get doesn't hold long. But with this product, it's much better. Also if I dampen it a little the next day and re-curl it with my brush and blow dryer, it looks nice again." —G A Pearson

Promising Review: "My hair does not hold a curl. So I needed pins to hold my curl after I was done. Kapow! These do the job. They neither fall out, nor leave dents in my hair." —Susana long

Promising Review: "They take about five minutes to heat up, about 10–15 minutes to get two sets of the rollers into my hair, and another 10–15 minutes to let the curlers cool." —Jana

Promising Review: "Rarely do I use products on my hair, but I wanted to test this out. It's simple and easy to use. I washed my hair, applied the mousse, and combed it through my hair. Usually, if I keep my hair rolled up all night, I will have maybe two hours of curls. It's currently past noon and my hair is still standing tall and curly. I love this product!" —Gena

Promising Review: "They're a little weird, and it'll take some practice to get used to using these, but the curls come out nice. The bigger rollers make looser waves, and there are plenty of each size so I could easily do whatever type of curls I want for my entire head." —Maria

Safety sensor for tangle-free curls, professional brushless motor, high-performance heater, even heat-up and recovery, two heat levels, and three timer settings for loose, medium, and tight curls.
Promising Review: "Easy to use and the results are stunning! The curls stay in all day and are even there after sleeping on them! My hair has NEVER held curls unless I used tons of hairspray and even then, they'd fall out. With this, my curls just stay there! No spray or other hair products. They're so much fun! If I can do this then YOU can do it! Simple, easy, and the results are fabulous! I love it and will never be without one!" —Melinda

Promising Review: "Love these! I have thick, slightly wavy hair that's cut in layers. It looked really nice after using these!! Happy I got it, they're good for last-minute events! Just wish it came with more medium/large rollers instead of the tiny ones." —Amazon Customer

Promising Review: "I have baby-fine hair and I'm always looking for something to give it more oomph. I believe I have found it! I had been using sea salt spray which worked, but sometimes left my hair feeling dry. When I use this after shampooing, I can use a curling iron, and the curl stays in for a couple of days! I'm sold on this product." —darleneg

Promising Review: "Really like the results, my curls look shiny and my hair feels soft. Without the spray, the lighter portions of my hair felt and looked like hay. This isn't meant to hold curls, so I have to use hairspray." —Dawg owner

Promising Review: "Amazing hairspray that is workable without a sticky residue. It holds well without making my hair look stiff, dry, and unnatural. If I brush through it a couple of times I can restyle my hair easily without my hair sticking to the curling iron and creating a sticky, creased mess. This is my new all-time favorite everyday hairspray. The price isn't outrageous either, which is an added bonus." —C Peterson

Promising Review: "I really love this product! This dry shampoo gives my hair BOUNCE. I used it only on my roots the first time, and my roots were bouncy but the rest of my hair was flat. I try to put a little product throughout my hair now and it really gives me the volume I need between washes. I am a medium-dark brunette and the gray powder is much easier to blend into my hair, I have never had issues with gray streaks." —Mendy
Get it from Amazon for $12.90. Available for brunettes and blondes.
Promising Review: "Love it! I have super thin, (stereotypically Asian), hair and spraying this when my hair is damp really gives it some extra oomph. It actually holds curls better, as well." —Amazon Customer

Promising Review: "I have been using these on my daughter's hair for years. They are super comfortable to sleep in. They're fast and easy — once you master the rolling method that best works for your desired curls. These rollers are made of thick cloth. There are no wires in them. The snaps are plastic and very sturdy. Best thing about them — they can be washed. I have seriously used these for several years and not one roller has become defective or shown signs of wear or tear. You get 12 rollers in total and of those 12, four of them are slightly longer. This amount is plenty to curl all your hair but if you have extremely thick hair you might want to invest in a second kit." —Coastal Girl

Promising Review: "I bought these for my 5-year-old granddaughter, her hair is stick straight and extremely thick. She wanted to have 'princess curls.' I have no experience with rollers, but even I could do it. Even with my lack of experience it came out really curly and looks very cute! The picture is after I combed through the curls just using my fingers. Her hair was wet when I rolled it but I used no curling solution or other products. No problem with anything breaking!" —renee lewis

Promising Review: "I've been using this for years. Great product! It works well, lasts a long time, and has a less harsh smell than the others. Very nice perm. My hair is thin and fine and this is the perfect perm." —MountainTime
Promising Review: "I have fine, medium-density, and low-porosity hair. This stuff gives me the perfect clumping with lots of volume that I don't get using anything else. I apply about a silver dollar size amount to my hair while it's still dripping wet and follow that with gel. You can see in my picture what second-day curls look like." —Mayfield
Get it from Amazon for $28.50.
Promising Review: "This is my newest rave! Smells fantastic and gives great texture to even thin hair — it also doubles as a dry shampoo to revive your blow out. Love it! Don't let the price hold you back, a little goes a long way and you'll be glad to have it in your beauty arsenal!" —Matryoshka
