Technical Lookout

Positive traits

• Ionic Steam Technology
• Negative ion for frizz-free hair
• Fast heat up
• Rollers have foamy surface

Negative traits

• Absence of dual voltage

Ionic steam technology is the most recent and most innovative procedure for hair styling. For any type of hair, Steam technology is considered the best technique because it does not do any damage to your hair comparing to any other technology like ceramic or titanium. This roller provides steam so your hair stays curly for long-term because instead of direct dry heat the hair gets steam which curls hair with moisture. Consequently, you get a more effective result with enduring coils

As the name refers, the roller set has ionic technology that provides negative ions to your hair. Positive ions are harmful to the hair but this tool serves you negative ions that remove static from your hair and eradicating frizzy hair these rollers deliver you healthy, frizz-free and shiny hair.

The rollers are considered to be heated up fast in comparison with any other hot rollers and so you acquire curls in less time without wasting excess energy over making hairdos. The roller has a foamy surface so that it can hold hair easily. For this feature, your hair does not fall down and stay fixed in its position. Foam-covered rollers are also useful because they do not keep any marks in your hair after curling as the ceramic covered rollers do.

The absence of dual voltage is a disadvantage you get from this model. People who love traveling cannot bear this roller set in any country because it does not have worldwide voltage. It operates only at 120V or single voltage system and using it with an adapter in the other country might destroy the set entirely. So for the travelers, this roller set is a “no-no.”

Overall View

The problem about dual voltage may seem a difficulty to you if you love to travel but there is no way to solve this problem, so you need to accept this error of this model and adjust with this. But if you need worldwide voltage then you can decide on the other models of Caruso hot rollers as you cannot fix this problem in any way.

Attachment Outlook

Positive Traits

• Carrying case
• Styling guide

Negative Traits

• Includes no clips
• Carrying case is not sophisticated

The compact model of Caruso supplies a carrying case to pack the rollers together when you need to carry the set anywhere. The roller set also includes a styling guide for the ease of operation and for assisting you in forming different curls.

This Hair Setter has no clips included for holding the hair. When you roll your hair up you need to pin the hair for securing its position otherwise your hair will fall down. But as the model does not include clips or pins and accordingly you need to buy clips from shops. Even at times, you can face complications regarding the clips as every clip will not adjust with your roller flawlessly. The carrying case is not up to the mark at all.

Overall view

This model lags behind in terms of necessary attachments. You can buy clips separately from the shops but you will face difficulties to fix them. As the carrying case is not of great quality so you need to purchase it again if you want to carry your rollers.

Caring Stance

Steam Technology

This Hair Setter uses steam technology for curling hair. The other rollers frequently use dry heat to style hair but dry heat can cause great damage to your hair. Dry heat does not provide moisture rather it burns your hair, consequently, damage turns out to be compulsory. But with the help of steam technology, you can curl your hair by the moisture of steam which is the chief benefit of steam-tech. Damage free hair is the principal concern of adding steam technology as steam vaporizes and moistures hair and leaving your hair smooth and soft.

Ionic Technology

IONIC refers to negative ion. As positive ions are destructive for hair so Ionic technology delivers you negative ion for your hair. Negative ion makes your hair frizz-free by removing static from the hair. It lessens the damage by preventing your hair from burning and reduces frizz by locking the natural moisture of your hair. It gives three times more steam than the amount of steam that a regular steam roller can serve you. Thus, your hair gets conditioned and stays shiny and glossy.

Recommended for

This Steam Hair Setter is designed for long hair. Women of long hair can go for beautiful curls but if you have short or medium hair then the rollers will not be capable of curling the hair into perfect curls for your hair other than adding volume only. It only goes perfectly if you are aiming to have big and bodacious loose waves or beachy waves. If you need spirals or kinky curls then this roller set is not for you.

Travelers should not pick this hot roller but if you have damaged hair then it will provide you a better result. If you have less budget and still you want frontline technologies then you can select this roller set.
