Caruso Pro Traveler 14 Molecular Steam Hairsetter

 (346 customer reviews)

I was suspicious when I found this product for $30 at a beauty supply place. That seemed kind of low for 30 heated rollers. I got even more suspicious when I found out that they were "just" sponge rollers and had to be "heated" one at a time.

I gave it a try anyway, since I haven't had much luck with conventional dry hot rollers. This unit shoots hot steam through each roller, which takes only a few seconds apiece, so you heat them as you go. You can also steam-heat the clips (they call them "shields") so the hair on the roller gets heated from both sides. Then you can just let them cool off on their own, or help them along with a hair dryer.

I still had my doubts about this product since the rollers, when steamed, didn't seem very hot (compared to regular dry hot rollers). But the sponge rollers grabbed my hair well and the "shields" kept them from unwinding or falling out, which was already a big plus over other hot rollers.

I bought this after reading all (well mostly) positive reviews. I always loved the way my hair looked when it was curled, but if I used a curling iron or hot rollers, my hair would uncurl in a few minutes. This is the only product I can use to curl my hair.

1. Make sure your hair is completely dry before you roll them.
2. Don't leave the curler on the steaming unit too long.
3. Steam the sheild before putting it in place
4. After you wait the 10 minutes for the curl to set, take the time and blow dry the curls on the cool heat setting. This sets the curl and can make it last for days longer.
5. If possible, use distilled water.
6. If you have read any other reviews, I'm sure you've heard about the unit dying after a few months. Actucally, the machine just needs to be cleaned!!!! Minerals in tap water build up and cause blockages on the inside, all you have to do is mix 1 tablespoon of vinger and...Read more

Okay, first I am an African-American and I love my new rollers!! I recently retired my hot curlers and have moved on to bigger and better things. I'm a licensed Cosmetologist and I recommend this product to my clients who like to curl their hair on a daily basis. My hair is sooooo soft, manageable, shiny, and did I mention bouncy. Goodness I sound like an infomercial I'm so excited. Get a set and try them for yourself.
