These Rock! I've used the regular velcro rollers for several years and love the volume. I use a flat iron on a section of hair, then immediately put the curler in. (dry hair, of course). With these, I blow dry my hair until it's almost completely dry, then apply these thermal rollers, then finish drying with a diffuser (so it doesn't blow my curlers out). This takes the flat iron out of the equation!. One less step equals less time. This gives ONLY volume and a slight wave to your hair, so don't think you're going to get these massive curls. But that's what I want. I use the large ones. I guess if you used the small ones, you could get a tighter curl, but I haven't tried that, as I don't really desire that look. I also start rolling in the middle of the strand of the hair (mid-way between my head and the end of my hair). This gives me more of the beach wave and volume.
My hair isn't really thick, either, so if you have thick hair, this product may not work as effortless for you. But for me, this only takes about 5-10 minutes. I do use a heat protector (Sebastian Potion #9), and sometimes a spray gel or mousse for more volume.
NO! Unsatisfied..' I received these "Thermal self hold rollers" as a Christmas gift thinking they were going to work out the way I thought. I got really thrilled to try them out since I normally do my hair almost everyday. However, the problem is when you're trying to take them off. They get super attached to hair and it is difficult to get them out. The hair gets really tangled afterwards, and not worth the purchase. After leaving the rollers for a good amount of minutes as to what the instructions say, my hair didn't get a single curl. I will end up returning this. I am unsatisfied with product and don't recommend it.

These pull out more hair than they "curl"
I used my usual curl smith leave in after my shower, put these in and it took 2 cases using only yellow and green to blow dry them(took over 2 hours to dry and they were still wet to the touch even though my hair was only damp) tried to take them out.
OMG ouch!
Whoever invented these are into some mid evil torture; so much hair snapped off or ripped out of my head just trying to unroll them, my hair looks very poofy and I'm very unhappy with these, returning immediately.

If you want rollers just get some foam ones. I used them one time and couldn't even when I put oil in to help them come out without damaging my hair. I had to cut them out and now I have a ugly pixie cut. I had very long hair and was not prepared to do a big chop. I will be returning these

Almost Had to Cut Out 1

I would not recommend these rollers. I put them in after blow drying my hair and when I tried to remove them, I almost had to cut them out of my hair. I ended up having to use warm water and conditioner to finally remove my hair from the rollers. Really disappointed.
