Advantages: easy to use, curls well, not too harsh on your hair

Disadvantages: could do with a few more rollers for longer /thicker hair

I have very thick hair which comes down about 3-4 inches below my shoulders. My hair does have a natural wave but not in a nice sexy wavey fashion, more like a dragged through a hedge backwards kind of look!

Usually I straighten my hair but I have always fancied trying something different. I love the idea of having a loose curl or ringlets so I got some curling tongs to see what it would look like. They worked a lot better then I thought they would but took FOREVER to do all of my hair!

As I now knew that my hair looked really nice with a bit of a curl I decided to look for a quicker method. I saw the Remington H2040 Fast Heat Ionic Rollers on amazon and the description said they gave great results and were kind to your hair.

The box said they have a 2 min fast heat up and that they are Ceramic and Tourmaline rollers with a TEFLON® coating. There are 20 rollers in 3 different sizes (small, medium and large).

They where quite easy to put in and there was enough to do all my hair but only just. The instructions where not very helpful and gave no idea how long to leave them in for so i just left them until they went cold.

Putting them in was also quite easy as they stay cool around the ends and they are covered in felt (or something similar) so your hair doesnt slip and you dont burn yourself! You just wrap a section of hair around the roller and use one of the clips provided to hold it in place. There are either metal clips or plastic U clips. Personally I find the U clips easier to put in.

They did curl my hair really well but i still ended up doing some bits with my tongs just to neaten it up a bit as its quite hard to control the curl with the rollers. My hair also felt better as the rollers are less harsh on it then tongs

I would recommend putting some gel on your hair first just to help hold the curl longer. If I put gel on first, the curl lasts for 2 days with a bit of a touch up with my tongs in the morning.
Also with a bit of practice you can put the rollers in vertically and get really sexy ringlets!

Overall it halved the time it took to curl my hair and it meant i could get dressed and do my makeup whilst the rollers where in so it saved me even more time! I paid about £28 for these but I think you can get them cheaper now
