I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a wedding next saturday. At first I planned on pinning up my hair, but since it just got retightened, its not as flexible as it used to be. Plus, my hair is getting fuzzier and more unkempt? looking. I've lost about half of my fluffiness and I'm kind of in a weird in-between stage. So I started to look into purchasing some Caruso curlers to try to smooth things out. Reading Blaqkofi Leighann, LaChanda and Brunsli's posts about Caruso's was helpful. But after reading a a lot of customer reviews I'm starting to freak out.
I learned several things:
The good: You get great curls without damaging your hair. Hair looks smoother, and makes your ends look pretty. They last one day to several days depending on your hair.
The bad: There's this ticking noise that's annoying but not annoying enough to keep people from using the curlers.
The foam (or should I say the ugly): This unit, the newer one that doesn't use salt, has died on people within months. And, the foam doesn't last! What's up with that?!
I know there are SL sistah's with Caruso curlers out there. After all this reading, and at the risk of being redundant, I still gotta know some thangs. Could ya give a gal a hand?
How long have your rollers or the heating set lasted? Have you had a set die on you?
How do you run out of foam?
How do you heat up the rollers without getting your hair wet and losing your curl?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance (:
Happy Memorial Day!!! Summer's here Yay!--that rhymes!(:

try the rollers out and see how u like em..if it looks nice to u wear them to the wedding
To try to answer your questions...
I've had mine about 6 months and I haven't had any problems. They seem kinda cheap, like something from an infomercial, but they work just fine...
As far as heating them up withoiut getting your hair wet, I don't really know what you mean. But, I tried using them way back when I had a relaxer, and the steam frizzed out my hair. But that's not an issue anymore.
I use these rollers every single day, and have been doing so since January I think. The rollers are falling apart, but I'm just going to get some more when they do because I love the results I get too much to stop. In regards to the unit, I've had mine for about a year and a half. I first got it to keep my weave curly. I just started using it again in January for my locs and it's been working just fine. The look I get is worth these little inconveniences.
I have had my set for nearly 6months without any problems. You don't have to wet your hair to use them. There will be a dampness on the roller from the steam, but your hair isn't "wet". I like the curl it gives. It is so convenient for the days when you don't want to sleep in rollers. It is quick to get a curl and I like them. I don't use them real often, but I like to have them for those days. I haven't experienced the foam tearing, but if it occurs I will purchase more. I hope this helps.
