Caruso Model Professional Molecular Steam Rollers with Shields, Petite (6-Count)

I'm revising my review because it dawned on me yesterday after I wrote the below original review, that maybe my hair wasn't curling because I use moroccan oil in my hair when it's wet and then blow dry it and then use the curls. Today, I didn't put any product in my hair and used t he curlers and my curls are AMAZING! So, I stand corrected. I retract my old review and replace it with 5 stars. They've lasted through the Florida humidity and everything. Key Points -Common complaint is that the jumbo and large rollers are the same. They are NOT the same. The clip size is the same between the two, however the foam thickness is different. Put them side by side and you'll see. -Don't use oil products in your hair if you're going to use the curlers. -Don't do oil treatments or heavy conditioners in your hair before using curlers. This includes Olive Oil hair wraps. Original Review: I really wanted to like this product. I have long, very thick, semi-course hair and when I read all of the great reviews on this product, I was so excited to get it in the mail. After two weeks of using them daily with variations of time on the steamer, rolled with the clips that came with them or with regular roller clips, variations of time in my hair, used both with a blow dryer and without, used both with hair spray before curling, after, and non at all, etc. I can't get my curls to last longer than a few minutes. Within a few minutes, I'm left with a frizzy, ugly mess. I'm not experienced with curlers because of my hair type, but I'm really disappointed with these. I am returning them and will try something else, probably just regular hot rollers. I did want to note though that some people have said that it comes with 6 jumbo and 6 large and they they are one in the same size. They're not. If you look, the clip and the width of the round plastic part of the roller are the same size, however the actual foam part is larger on the jumbo than on the large.

These size rollers give great volume to the hair and the best curls. Compared to the curling iron, heated rollers and flexi-rods .. steam rollers are the absolute best and holds curls longer!

I have had a Caruso Molecular Hairsetter for almost 20 years and would not use anything else to roll my hair. I ordered them from a TV commercial and to my amazement, they really worked! You just steam the roller (takes a few seconds), roll your hair while the shield is steaming, place the shield over the curl, then steam another roller, etc.. As soon as you finish with the last curl, you can begin removing the rollers from your hair, beginning with the first curl you rolled. The incredible thing is how quickly it curls your hair. It's almost like magic!. And the curls are soft and manageable. The steamer that I have (which I purchased from Celeste Company, Inc of Elkins Park, Ps) requires that you add baking soda to the water (it came with a little mini-measuring spoon so you knew exactly how much baking soda to add) and it is still working. A few years ago, I decided to buy another steamer in case my old one bit the dust. It was, after all, getting up in years! I purchased my second steamer from Helen of Troy L.P. of El Paso, TX. It was smaller and so was easier to pack for trips. It also did not require that you add anything to the water, so no need to take along any baking soda. Unfortunately, It lasted only a few months. Apparently, you are supposed to clean it once a month or so with a vinegar solution, which I neglected to do. On the other hand, I've never cleaned my first steamer and it's still going strong! The only precaution I take is to change the water and add fresh baking soda each time I use it. I was not happy with the Helen of Troy steamer. I later did an internet search for Celeste Company, but apparently they're no longer in business. Too bad! They strictly knew how to make steamers that lasts! If push comes to shove and I have to, I guess I will bite the bullet and buy another Helen of Troy steamer and religiously clean it every month! The foam on my old rollers are wearing out, so I finally decided to go online to see if I could find replacements. I was able to find them at Quick E Shop, through Amazon.com. It would be even better if I could replace just the foam inserts, because there's nothing wrong with the plastic part of the rollers. I think there was a time when you could buy just the foam inserts. Unfortunately, I didn't take advantage of that opportunity when I had it. In any case, I was really pleased with Quick E Shop. They had the best price and I was really happy with the rollers they sent me and how quickly I got them. I highly recommend them if you need to replace your Caruso steamer rollers.

I have used the Caruso hair system for years. My only complaint with the curlers is that when the foam on the curler begins to deteriorate, you cannot replace just the foam, but you have to buy the full curler. It seems a waste. I hate throwing away the plastic part of the curler just because the foam has deteriorated overtime. Other than that, these are great curlers, and the system itself is perfect.

These Caruso professional medium molecular rollers are the best. It making it easy to curl your hair.

I've used Caruso curlers since I was 13. Now that I'm 40, that can tell you a lot. I have only had three sets in all of that time. This product works beautifully, and it lasts a very long time. It is very good quality. I have fine hair that does not hold curl very well, but it holds the curl of this steam setter extremely well. It also works on just about any kind of hair because I have curled wedding parties full of hair for many of my friends throughout the years, and styled it, and it was everything from super fine hair to super curly. The hair always turns out glossy looking with full, gorgeous curls, that last through the whole ceremony and the party after. Also because it is steam it doesn't damage hair like hot rollers do. Highly highly recommend.

These are great rollers that enable my straight hair to have curl and bounce where I want it. I like the molecular part so my hair doenst dry out. A wonderful product.

Used these for several months then went back to my curling iron. Too time consuming for me BUT I didn't really want "curly" so if that's what you're going for these would work well. I just needed side & top curls and these made them too "curly". I did use the largest size too and have mid length hair. ALSO - I did not like the clips at ALL! I found I had to use two clips to keep the curlers on, so had to go out and purchase additional clips. I STILL did not like using clips - rods still often loose even using two. Would have much preferred a clip but I've read they often make marks which is why some mfg use clips. I really disliked the idea of having to stand and wait for EACH and EVERY (snooze) curler to heat before I could use it. Ok - it only takes 6-8 seconds per rod BUT much preferred the type where ALL the curlers can sit and remain hot until I'm ready to use them EVEN if I have to use heat gloves (as they DO burn your hands). That said I now have a huge supply of curlers and a perfectly good Caruso Steam System sitting in my closet. My Recommendation? Buy the set and use it daily or bi-weekly. I only used mine a few times the first month....took too long to realize it didn't work for me. That way you can return it if needed.

They work as advertised.

Addition to the best curler set on the market.

De no ser porque soy extralacia y se que es el mejor tamaño para mi cabello, no lo hubiera comprado. El precio es muy alto.

I love this hair style system. But I have a really hard time to understand why these curlers at so expensive.

The Caruso curling system is great for fast pretty curls which start tighter but quickly relaxes, when not using hairspray causing a lovely gentle looser curls. Purchased the complete set years ago with extra medium curlers but decided I need more of the larger ones now. I prefer the largest rollers as they give my medium length hair the larger more natural curls. Medium size tend to be tighter longer. I find electric curlers take too long to heat up and curling irons take too long to do my whole head. With the Caruso set I find after the last one is rolled I finish getting ready before I unroll and finger comb from underneath to help make maintain the added lift to my hair. I use distilled water for optimum results and it’s kinder to the steamer. I have found that on three of my rollers the end-disk do come off, annoying but they still perform well. I suggest leaving the roller covers off and, the rollers and their covers in separate containers. Easy to use. Empty the unplugged steamer immediately after rolling the last one.
