1.0 out of 5 stars
Junk...Junk...Junk..., October 10, 2008
This review is from: Remington H-2050 T-Studio Ceramic Heated Clip Hair Rollers with Tourmaline (Health and Beauty)
These are going back to the manufacturer! They haven't produced a good photo of the clips for those of you interested in them, so I will describe one of the many flaws with this set of rollers. The clips have a metal plate on the inside of them that "sandwiches" the hair between the roller and the metal plate. The pressure of this is the ONLY thing that keeps these rollers in you hair. There are no teeth at all, only a smooth surface, that keeps these things in place. This means that when you put a roller in your hair, it hangs from your head. You can forget about a tight roll. What happens is that when you remove the rollers from your head, you have a large crease where the roller was hanging from your head. In my attempt for a tighter roll, I tried using less hair and the clips just sprung from my head across the room, and almost landed in the toilet where they belong!!! I hope this allows me to not give any stars to these but I may have to give 1 in order to leave this - if it has one, it's only because I had to.

5.0 out of 5 stars
don't hate me because I'm beautiful......, November 6, 2007
This review is from: Remington H-2050 T-Studio Ceramic Heated Clip Hair Rollers with Tourmaline (Health and Beauty)
The curlers are great. I have thick shoulder length hair and can use almost all 20 rollers. I love the flocked roller, so much easier on my hair, they never pull. I have not used clips like this before, but after a couple of times to get used to them I find them equally soft on the hair. The curlers do heat up quite quickly, which I consider a plus. Leaving them in for about 10 minutes gives me curl which holds up for about a day and a half. I do not find the clips too hot to handle at all, I pull the roller off the heating element using the clip handle, place the roller on the counter and unclip the clip again using the handle. Roll up the hair and reclip. Of course you shouldn't touch the exposed heating element in the curler, I would think that would be obvious. I think the product is great. It does have a rather large base, so if that matters to you, like if you intend to store this in a vanity drawer, measure first to make sure it will fit. One other mention, I purchased an "ionized" hairbrush which is supposed to help make hair smoother and softer and darn if it doesn't!

Overpriced and Underproductive, April 23, 2009
This review is from: Remington H-2050 T-Studio Ceramic Heated Clip Hair Rollers with Tourmaline (Health and Beauty)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
If these rollers had been $15, I would have given them 4 stars. At $45, they should work as well as they are packaged. The setup of these rollers is attractive - misplacing a clip is unlikely since the clips are stored and heated on the roller. Aside from that, I really cannot say much more about these. The issues I found include:
(1) The roller itself does not heat. The metal plates on the inside of the clip heat and the curl you are expected to get is solely derived from the heated clip. The roller itself was only moderately warm. This leads to my next point...
(2) With the only heat coming from the clips, it is unlikely that anyone with thicker hair will get much of a curl. I have thick hair just below my shoulders. I am not into tight curls; my only goal was softer curls (which should have been easy since softer curls typically require less heat). The curlers curled my hair, but more to the look of a blow-out using a round brush.
(3) My biggest pet peve with hot rollers is when the clips leave a crease and for those of you with straight hair, expect to have creases at the crown of your head.
There is nothing like taking the time to curl your hair, hoping for those covergirl locks and ending up with a very modest (and rather undone) look with ridiculous creases all around the crown. Your only options are to pull your hair back (and attempt to hide the creases) or take a flat iron to the creases. For me, that is entirely too much time and hassle.
These rollers are a gimmick. I own Conair's giant roller set and, truthfully, they are a fraction of the price and far superior to these for obtaining softer curls. They are probably the best rollers I have ever owned, with BabyBliss coming in second. These would not even make my list; I would not recommend them at all. (And...on a side note, if you ever need to travel with rollers, these are huge and would consume a lot of room in the suitcase).
