Awesome!You would think these steam rollers don't curl well because they are not hot at all. I have fine hair (a lot) and it's normal/to possibly dry depending on the day but I've been lazy on weekly deep conditioning so this is most likely my fault :D
I have tried them on day old hair, dry hair, and also hair that's still a little wet after the shower and the curls are very curly each time.
Only thing I have to say is if you are looking for more natural curls then you definitely want to use this with longer hair. My hair is a little over shoulder length and I have Shirley Temple hair after leaving them in my hair for 11-12 minutes.
I'm sure there's a way to make the curls more relaxed either leaving the rollers in for a shorter amount of time or separating the curls with your hands (although with my hair when I do this it gets seriously pouffy and frizzy). I don't use any hair products while styling expect for some heat protection spray before blow drying and my hair starts to die down around 7 hours. However I should add I don't care about my hair once it's done. I take naps .. walk in the rain... put it up and back down in the car... and it's fine. It just looks subtly curly at the end of the day.
Random Note - If you use the "Ionic Steam" setting the steamer will make a rapid high pitched clicking nose whereas the regular "Steam" setting will have no noise.
Both settings still make my hair curly maybe ionic is a little hotter but I think it's just placebo with me.posted Apr 24, 2013Link to this post -

I Like The Kind That Takes The Salt In It.Years ago I had Richard Caruso steam rollers that called for a small amount of salt to it put in the bottom with the water. I really liked this product . When I ordered a set that said" No salt to be added" this set didn't hold curl as well. Do any of the Richard Carusco steam roller sets allow salt now?????????

Secret Weapon To Work Out And Still Look Fab!I simply adore this product! I must admit, like others, I too, was a skeptic. However, since the price alone is lower than a salon visit, why not! Writing reviews are not my niche, but BOY do I love reading them - live by them! LOL... but it was due to the reviews that I purchased this lovely device, so I would like to gladly help another doll out there if I can! I am black with natural hair. I have NO idea what kind of grain I have and there are a multitude of them, so my apologies that I can't be of much help there. I will say that my hair takes on the appearance of a wet cotton ball after cleansing. I will also add that humidity and rain will metamorphous my hair into a fun looking helmet hazing, bar fight (did not win) look - lol. My hair hits just below my ears, it isn't thick but it's not thin either and I cannot get away with two strand twists (too thin) or wash n' go's (not curly -- hence why I ADORE this product)), because I'm also working out! I work out consistently three days a week and with this device, I can feel confident and cute with various styles and not a heat damaged, plucked chicken look which is a major plus in my book. Flashing: wrap it up... okay (now you see why I do not like writing books, I mean reviews (lol). When I first tried the product, my hair was already straightened via blow drying and flat ironing (and I don't have "body" kind of hair - it's sort of limp and doesn't "wrap" well. I went from shoulder shrug ear length/ Peppermint Patty to "Va va, did he just wink at me!?" kind of hair that actually has body... all of this FROM STEAM! Ow! LOL. I then pin curl my hair with bobby pins and wear a scarf (lightly). The curls dance for me the next day but it feels good that I can come home from an intense workout and blow/air dry and use the Caruso and BAM - back in business! So... is this product for you? I think that you should definitely try it! Why... because from taking it out of the box, reading the instructions to actually setting and styling my hair, I timed in under :30 minutes! Is your mouth agape... mine was! Simply an awesome product which also reduces frizz and can withstand a workout! Lastly... (I promise (lol)) - yes, I use the ion feature which has a clicking sound. So what... I turn on a Pandora station, crank it up and rock it out!posted Jan 28, 2013Link to this post

Curls For My Pagent Boyi wanted to start curling my sons long hair for the beauty pagents he is in found a curling iron just wasn't doing it so i borrowed my sisters caruso set of 30 steam curlers and was amazed how much curl i could get in his hair plus the curls really held with hairspray. i re do his hair with every outfit change and his culrs are still beautiful . I don't haveto worry about burning him with a curling iron and he loves the fact he doesn't have to sit still so long as he can walk around with the curlers in his hair as they are cooling or i can get started on his makeup much sooner since my hands are freed up form the curling iron. all the gilrs love his curls and i now do his hair 2-3 days a week for school with the curlers and they don't damage his hair at all. would recomend for any one male of female old or young who wants beautiful curls that last and lastposted Aug 23, 2012Link to this post

Great Curl, But Didn't Last Long With My Hair (need To Experiment Still!)I have long, thin, straight hair that doesn't hold curls well unless I have a hairdresser do it.
I purchased the caruso 30 molecular ion steam hairsetter and was excited to see what it would do. It took me about 12 minutes to put all of the curlers in the first time. I had a hard time for a couple of them that got caught in my hair but I think I'll get better with practice. I thought I would be annoyed with having to put each curler on the steamer but it didn't bother me at all. The ticking sound on the ion setting was loud at first but then I got used to it. I only used about 10 curlers on my long hair. This is something I'll change next time. I think I'll use smaller amounts of hair per curler/take the time to do it. I used all of the petite curlers and several of the next size.
While putting on my makeup and picking out my outfit I let the curlers set for 15 minutes. I used the hair dryer for about 1 minute, hoping to set the curl more. I used no product before putting in the curls or while I took them out. As I took them out, my hair was SUPER curly. Really pretty, soft, bouncy. Loved it. My husband was pretty excited to. I flipped my head over, and used my fingers to piece the curls the way I wanted. Then I sprayed my hair quite a bit with hair spray. I'm not sure if the spray weighed my curls down or not, but I feel like I absolutely need hair spray.
About an hour after taking the rollers out, my hair started to sag a little. After about 2 hours by hair was wavy (I still liked it) but it just wasn't curly anymore. The next morning when I woke up, it had pretty dull waves.
I am going to experiment with these curlers. This is a great product, but it definitely didn't keep the curl for days. I am going to purchase some herbal essences body envy volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I think I'll also buy a mousse that is supposed to help curls (put on before I dry my hair). Then I'll use more rollers this time and try using a little less hair spray. We'll see how that works! I really like that these curlers don't dry out/kill my hair like my straight iron does. I always end up burning myself when I use a curling iron!posted Mar 7, 2012Link to this post -

Skeptic Turned Believer!I got to say, I was a little skeptical of this product being brought up with the belief that afro/black hair and steam just DO NOT mix. After reading reviews from other girls of colours, however, I decided to take the plunge and just go ahead and buy the set (it's was one of the more inexpensive roller sets on this site and I'll admit it-I'm cheap!).
Opening the package, there's a very usual instruction manual as well as a Caruso bag that I keep all my rollers in. And there are plenty of rollers (30 total)! Then there's the steamer itself. I noticed one thing right away while messing with the product: the ionic setting makes a loud ticking noise that's irritating initially but it's just background noise after a while. Eager to try it out (and find out if I have to send it back), I started pulling random rollers out of their bags and began to put them in my hair (no products). I couldn't believe I was putting a wet roller into my hair, but I kept faith. After they were all in, I waited about 20 minutes (while browsing the internet), then ran a blow dryer over my head for about a minute before hitting the cool switch and letting cool air blow over my head for 30 seconds (this is instructions in the manual).
Now. The big moment of truth. Would my hair become the frizzball I was imagining in my head or would this product actually work? I undid the first roller. bing!, my hair bounced right back to the curl. I undid another bing! same result. I finally undid my entire head and couldn't believe what I was seeing in the mirror. My hair, in beautiful, glossy, soft curls. Not a frizz in sight! And as I was undoing them I couldn't HELP but to feel how soft and moist (I guess is the word for it) my hair felt! It felt sooo good! It still feels good (I just took the rollers out! lol). It hasn't felt this good and healthy in, I don't even know when. And the curls! They make me feel like a princess! :)
I can't believe this product! It's like a dream come true. Beautiful curls and healthy feeling hair to boast. Ladies, trust me, this is well worth the money (it feels like a steal!) I am so happy with this product, that I wrote a review for it IMMEDIATELY after using it(and I never write reviews for folica!) :)

Didn't Hold A CurlI tried to curl my hair 3 time before I gave up. The initial results looked great, but just like most other curling irons, my hair went flat in less than 30 minutes. I was really disappointed.posted Feb 6, 2012Link to this post -

ClipsI still have the original product from when it first came out.I liked it so well that I got another set.The original called for salt.The second one NO. Nor did second one have the facial option. Primarilly I purchaced #2 as the clips would no longer stay on the rollers. When second one started the same problem I just packed it away and forgot about it. Watching a ad on tv about these new Top stylers brought them back to mind as they did everything the TOP STYLER does.#1's won't heat the water anymore though #2 does.The model # is C1-914.Several the foam has deteriated on the rollers,also I no longer have any directions for either. Do you have any advise? what size rollers should I purchace (C1-914) And have you had any complaints on the newer models of clips stretching out? Thanking you in advance for any help on this issue. I have a lot of females in my family not to mention friends. I would like them to try mine before purchacinf this new TOP STYLER. Sincerely, Carol Ferguson. P,s, Normal but thining.posted Jan 21, 2012Link to this post

Might Be DefectiveDoes an okay job of curling, I do like the softness of the curls. Only down side, when I switch it to the the ionic function there's a continuous load clicking noise that sounds like its going to explode. Got this as a Christmas gift, a little past the 30 day return policy so im pretty sure i cant exchange it nor do i want to pay $10 to shipping it back. Due to safety reason, a dud for me.posted Jan 16, 2012Link to this post
