They are really easy to use.
-You fill up the little bowl portion to the "fill" line. Then you place the actual steam mechanism in the bowl and plug it in. After about 30 seconds - 1 minute, steam will start to rise out of the little spout at the top.
-Part the section of hair that you want to roll and then place the roller on to the steamer without it's cover. Each roller takes about 5-7 seconds before it's ready to use. Any longer than that and you run the risk of the roller absorbing too much moisture and making your hair wet. After you've used the rollers for a while, you'll see them expand with the steam, which is also a good timer. After removing the roller from the steamer, roll your hair as you normally would with a sponge roller. Then clip the cover on top of the roller, and move to the next section of hair and repeat.
-Once all of your hair is completed or you've used all of your rollers - whichever comes first, let your hair set. This can take anywhere from 5-15+ minutes depending on how tight you want the curl or how long it takes all of the steam to cool/dissipate. I like to set my hair first, and then finish getting ready. That way my hair is out of the way and I know it has time to set. Sometimes the combination of too much moisture and/or not enough time can cause the curls to frizz and wilt. If I don't have enough rollers, I just wait until the first group has finished. Then I remove the roller, pin curl the already curled hair out of the way and do the remaining sections. Afterwards just remove all of the curlers and style as usual. I usually just finger comb and go.

sorry if this has already been asked & answered but do any naturals use steam rollers? or is this a product for relaxed ladies....Either way, what sort of results do you get? Seems like steam would be a healthy way to curl the hair as long as one wasn't looking for a straight style. TIA!

I used to use them in high school when my hair was just pressed, and any kind of moisture makes my hair go poof. It would curl and the curl would stay but it would be a big teased look but i was in drill team so that was perfect, but i would mostly recommend it for relaxed hair.gogo said:

No, that would defeat the purpose. Putting steam on something already wet doesn't have an effect on it.swannie said:
Now, you can always use the rollers just like any other foam rollers (without steam) and I'm sure they would work the same. I just want to add that if airdrying, these may take longer because of the plastic cover, so air isn't flowing through.

I too used to wonder if using a steam roller on my hair would revert it or frizz it up. Surprisingly, it doesn't. I make sure I shake any excess moisture off the roller for a second before rolling it up.
I love using them to curl my bangs and for spiral sets. I'm still experimenting with these for other looks.

I haven't used my set in a long time, but when I do, I get nice results! The curls last forever!

The Caruso rollers come highly recommended, especially for AA hair, mainly because they put moisture into the hair. These are not just ordinary sponge rollers although some ladlies here use end papers with theirs. I haven't had any problems yet with mine.
Carolyn Grey uses this roller system often and suggests it in her book.
