My hair dresser said they leave black hair frizzy...is this true for any of you?
Do heated rollers work best on wet or dry hair? If you use it on wet/damp hair will it come out smooth?
How long do you keep them in?
Thanks!
I have used hot rollers for years off and on. They work on naturals, braids, relaxed and weaves (human and non-human hair) everyone can use them. There's lots of brands and sizes that you can use too. Only use them on dry hair.If you apply any direct heat (curling iron, hot rollers ect) not only can you burn your hair off but you can cause dmg to the cortex via bubbling or "cooking" the heart of the hair strand which will prevent your hair from curling ect. I keep them in till they cool. For example, If I am gonna curl my twists with hot rollers, I put them in before the shower. I put my shower cap on, shower dress, makeup then I take them out. I find that I get the best results when the curlers are warm(not super hot) and let them stay in till they get cool/cold. The curl falls really naturally with no "hump" that my magnetic rollers leave from overnights. Plus it's fast if I am in a hurry and have to have a "special" style. I like them and they work for me!
ETA:BTW I have no clue if their "good" for black hair. To me anything in moderation when you are properly doing it is ok. But as for if they are good in general who knows. For me it would depend on whether you are using them correcty, how often, does your hair already have dmg, how much dmg, ect. I think it's a personal opinion thing ya know?
I haven't used heated rollers, just curling irons (not good!) in the past. I prefer Caruso rollers which uses steam instead of heat to quickly set the hair (dry hair) with beautiful curls. Some of the ladies may call this heat but actually no heat is touching the hair, just moisture.My hair dresser said they leave black hair frizzy...is this true for any of you?

I have the following sets:
I can't find any pics of the small rollers that I have so I'll have to keep looking. I like the conair mainly. it's cheap and I can get it at wal-mart. they come with "pins" which can be a pain, but I do have a revlon set that looks like this: It's actually quite comfy, and they stay in while you dress.

I used to use heated rollers and I would come out with a nice, smooth set. I would use them every morning and didn't find them to be damaging my hair.
Hi,
I have been using heat rollers for a few years and they are wonderful. I have the Conair Instant Heat Jumbo Rollers:

The same set is at Target.com for $23.99.

I straightened my hair yesterday with my Chi and then used the hot rollers. My hair turned out quite nicely. I would suggest that you use a heat shield styling spray before you flat iron and / or use the hot rollers. I have one by Dove (Intense Damage Therapy) and another by Chi (Thermal Protection Spray) .

I actually need to get a new set of rollers. They do have a velvet covering and it is starting to peel off on a few of them but overall they are still working great!.
What ever brand you decide to buy, make sure you know what temp. they reach. Some heated rollers can be more damaging than using a flat iron or curling iron because A, you don't know how hot it is and B, you leave them on longer (usually until they cool).

Hi Isis - how do the steam rollers work exactly, with the foam and everything?
I would love it if something showed examples in their foki
i see that most use the steam...i didn't check to see if u ladies are relaxed or natural...so...what will that steam do to relaxed hair? I'm interested in these type of rollers, but i get this feeling that its gonna make my relaxed hair frizzy.
