This is the first set of hot rollers I have ever owned. It comes with the teeth style clips so you do have to pay attention to how you are clipping to avoid the clip kink. Felt covers the rollers to help grip your hair. This works so much better than the drug store brands I have tried before. There are two sizes of rollers (4 of each size,, both larger to make big body loose curls. My hair is mid way down my back and although fine it is thick. Thinner or shorter hair would get tighter curls.
The rollers are reasonably compact and very light. They come in a padded travel case that is about 8" by 5" by 4". They heat up in about 5min and are cool in about 30.
