This product by far is the best straightener I've used...My hair is a hot mess without a straightener period. My hair is naturally curly and coarse "Puerto Rican" hair that I've also damaged from the highlights and all the heat I use on it. I first started using a Chi in 2001. I went and had my root touch up last month and my stylist had switched to a BaByliss, I was impressed. It took me about a month to think about the quality of my Chi, with my next hair appointment coming up soon... I started thinking my Chi does not work for my hair anymore, I've been through two in eleven years which is rare considering all the reviews I read before actually going to buy a BaByliss.The one I replaced had been broken by me and now this one I replaced with a BABYLISS :)..... My hair just wasn't straight without the frizz..... Until I switched to my new one. I went and bought the BaByliss titanium 11/2'' long plate, and the job has been cut in half, 30 minutes to 15. My hair is restored, and straighter than a tightrope and stays that way!!! I'm in love and could go out and give reviews to back this product to anyone dealing with (back and forth/uncertainty) of which product to buy or why...... Go BABYLISS 150% no DOUBT OR REGRETS I PROMISE!

Love these hot rollers. Love the larger size to create large wavy hair or just added volume to my straight fine hair.

They call these "jumbo rollers" but don't imagine anything too large. They really are a little larger than the ones you get in other sets.
The set contains 12 hot rollers, 12 butterfly clips and 12 metal pins.
The rollers have a soft and velvety surface and they get very hot!
One of the rollers has the heat indicator on. A red dot that turns white when they are ready for use. It takes about 8 mins to heat up.
I have long (waist length) fine hair but lots of it. It is straight but gets a bit of a wave when layered. My hair is not very curl friendly. Out of 10 times it holds it 3 times maybe. I have tried so many things. Hot sticks, wax rollers, GHD, curling iron... you name it. Most of the time it just drops straight away. Well these are the best for my hair. It gave me loose curls with volume. When I first took the rollers out the hair looked like when you "set it" at the HD. It looked beautiful!! It dropped after about an hour to a looser/softer curl. A day later it looks wavy and the layers are seperated. It still looks beautiful! I prefer this to GHD curls b/c it gives it more volume. It also adds shine. I am very happy with the job they have done.
I have to add that 12 rollers were not enough for my hair.. It would be perfrect if it came with 16. I heat it up again and did the rest of the hair. The rollers get very hot so I had to use tissues on my forehead and ears. I recommend this, especially for anyone who's hair is long and curl friendly. There is hair that will not hold the curl no matter what.. so maybe try it first. b/c it is not cheap. I paid $130 Aus on special!
You can only return it if they stop working before warranty.
EDIT: The indicator turns to white within a couple of mins and they do warm up fast but I prefer mine warmer so I leave it for 6-8 mins
EDIT: I now have the 5 pc jumbo pack as well and they are a little bigger in size than the 12pc. I prefer the size of the 12pc.
