Caruso Steam Rollers First Impression Review + Demo! Natural Hair | Naptural85 

Whitney you're such a asset to women who have natural hair. You have taught me so much. Thank you for all you do. You are appreciated.

My friend uses it all the time. YES she is natural. She allows it to steam longer plus she keeps them in for about 30 mins and smaller section.. It comes off very beautiful. She also uses it when she blow out her hair

Since I'm natural, I sit under the dryer for the 15 minutes, and the curls come out much better. It also doesn't become poofy and frizzy. Keep trying!!

Trying Steam Rollers for the first time! New Upload! #NaturalHair

THIS is how a review should be done. Great work Whit!

I love your channels. I watch them everyday. Even though I've been natural my whole life, you have helped me accepting my natural hair and gave me the confidence to wear it out no matter the bad looks I got. Thank you so much!!!! ♡♥♡♥

Girl, this tutorial was HILARIOUS. Your facial expressions were priceless.

Im sorry these didn't work for you but I looove me some caroso rollers. I blowdry my hair before using them. Here's a tip, you don't have to do the 7 sec rule. Just pop one on while you rolling the last section. It also makes the process faster.

Its not too bad Whit. But right away i knew it wasn't going to work on your thick beautiful hair.

I just love your honesty with natural hair,Even though you have amazing hair but you still share your try out success and fail. Thank you dear

This made my asthma flare up! Love your sense of humor.

Glad at least you gave it a shot. A honest review!

Whit, I use them! First, you need smaller sections. Second, you need to leave the rollers on the steamer for longer - like a minute or two so it gets hot. Third, you should do it on stretched hair. Fourthly, you should use a towel to blot the roller to get some of the water out so your hair doesn't swell back up. Try again!!!! I love them!! I've even used them to roll braids and twists so I'll have a curly twist-outs & braid-outs! Love you!!!

I love the excitement you have & the commitment to trying new things on your natural hair.

I used this in the early 90's on relaxed, below shoulder length hair. It worked really well when I left the cover on while steaming the roller as it kept the heat better. I left it on the base longer than 7 seconds and the roller would be pretty hot and damp as I recall. I'd leave the rollers in until they were totally dry and the curls did last longer than using a curling iron. Didn't know this was still around. May have to check it out again. Thanks for the in depth review and reintroducing me to this product!

I use to used those same rollers by in the early 90's! I loved them! I had lots of body and fullness for those that suffer from thin to fine hair this is the tool for you. Glad that they are still selling this product.

I've been using Caruso Rollers for 20 years!!!! Keeping the rollers closed while you steam is a great technique for keeping the steam in.... While I'm rolling may hair, I resteam the cap :) I LOVE the Caruso!!!!!!!!!!

I love my Caruso Steam rollers! I do leave them in the steamer longer and I put the covers on the steam as well, just wipe off the condensation. I would say try it again!!!

Thank you for being your entertaining self and for trying it out.

I also have steam rollers and you have to let it collect some heat. The foam soaks up the water and as it dries, it expands and that's what causes the curls to set. So let it get more steam first and let it dry longer. You also have a lot of hair so it might take longer for you

your reaction the first time you took them out...I died laughing!!! bahahaha omg smh

I ABSOLUTELY love your facial expressions! So hilarious!

I think u should try it again. Your hair is very thick and curly so you have to do smaller sections and pull the hair really taut.

Your reactions are funny, "why do I have a tail?...I knew it wasn't for naturals!" Lol.

Hey girl! They are really good old school rollers and they work wonders for natural hair. What you need to do is stream the cap also and because your hair is thick grab a blow dryer and hit the rollers to dry up any moisture still on the cap. You need to re-try it.

lol! love your facial expressions while removing the steam rollers!

Yeah! A new video from Whitney! Great review. Thanks & hugs

Your always finding new things for us to try. Showing that you can do many things with natural hair. Great video....as always

Thanks for posting this. I used the Caruso curler until I went natural, last year. I Thought that I could no longer use it without flat ironing my hair, first. Thanks to your video I tried it again! I just used it after blowing out a 2 day-old twist out. My hair looks just like it did with the perm... Straight but not bone straight. I think people either love or hate this curler. It has always worked for me, but I would always take out the steam curlers and re-roll the slightly damp hair on to sponge rollers. Once the hair dried completely the curls would be locked in. As I write this, I am sitting in my sponge rollers, so I won't know if the curls will hold all day .... But I think they will.

I've used it on damp hair and left it in for a few hours before going out and got pretty good results. My hair is as thick and long as Whitney's. 15 minutes won't set the style

" I knew it wasn't for naturals! I knew IT!" ;))) LMBO! Hilarious!

She was not amused the first time. Dead. Your hair looked beautiful the second time. Then again, it always looks beautiful to me.

I think that the instructions are whats recommended but I do not think they honestly took into account EVERY hair type, length, and density. Personally i would've put on a curler for at least a min, then set on another curler while curling my hair, I say give it another go Whitney and next time do your own rules :-).

I'm going to buy these...I have 4b type hair that's almost as long & thick as yours. I think you should have left the rollers on the steamer longer...you counted really fast because you were scared & nervous. Another thing I'd do differently is leave the rollers on my hair for 2hrs or longer since my hair is thick. Please do another video of you trying these rollers out again....hopefully trying tips offered. Thanks you look great!!

I love this even though it wasn't what you were looking for its a good example on what us naturals go through from time to time.

That second look was beautiful!!!!

I commend you for your dedication in giving a full review! The second attempt definatly came out better, but ill stick to other methods to curl my hair.

***** You know what Whit, although instructions say certain things, sometimes we have to alter those instruction just a bit to get the results we want lol. What you "may" need to do is leave the rollers on the steam a bit longer than 10 secs. Second, you have very thick hair, so you may need to leave the rollers in for a bit longer than 15 mins.....maybe you should keep it in for around 30-35 mins. Third try smaller parts and rolling it like you did on the first try because the rolling motion you did the second time gave you more waves than curls. Just my simple suggestions. You should try again because the curls did look like they were trying to come out the first time.

I think if u left it on the steam for about 20 sec. And part ur hair smaller for the jumbo and longer set time it might be better them the first n the 2nd

Thank you for your time. That was helpful. The curlformers rock on your hair. I like having fun with my natural hair too. :)

This is one of the best reviews i've seen!

"where my jumbo at? where my jumbo at?" LOL

I've used caruso steam rollers for years on clients with great results. One great tip I learned is to also steam the roller cover right before you clip it to the roller. It will give better steam penetration all around the hair :-)

Very fun, informative, and frank review. Even if you did not get the results expected the final look on the second day is luxurious and very attractive :) Thanks for making another high quality, entertaining and inspiring hair video!

It worked great with my relaxed hair, haven't tried it now that I'm natural. Nice vid Hun

Love you for trying and sharing with us. Sorry it didn't work out. I agree that Bantu knot out is easier and better results. Thanks to you I can do that and I love the Bantu curls!

My sister's hair is the same length and thickness as yours and what we found was it took some practice to get the look we wanted. How you hold the hair, in which direction you roll it, as well as the amount of tension placed on the hair while rolling, all seem to contribute to the finished look. The amount of time both the roller and shield are steamed also affect the outcome. Play around with it a little bit more, you just may change your opinion. By the way the shine on your hair is incredible after styling.

I personally LOVE the steam rollers. My hair is completely natural and they work beautifully. I blow dry my hair straight, put the rollers in and allow them to sit for 20-30 or sit under a hooded dryer for 15 minutes. I'll wrap my hair at night. The roller set gives me lots of bounce and body and lasts for about a week or until I shampoo my hair again.

I honestly appreciate you. How you take the time to make all these video's to help us natural sistas out

Thanks for testing this product. Love your pros and cons. Probably won't work for my hair either

I am so glad you did this demo... What not to buy. Thanks I didn't have to spend and get disappointed

Funny you should upload this now!! I was just saying to a friend no more than 2 weeks ago how i have had them for two years and has never used them, but really wants to. Inbetween that time, i have bought a 7 draw chest for my hair accesories which resorted in me throwing away all the boxes of my hair dryers, flat iron, etc. And to find i have lost the instructions of the carusol rollers lol YAYYYYY You come to my rescue again xox

I just love your attitude throughout the whole vid. Way to go! :)

I used to use steam rollers on my relaxed hair and it worked amazingly but I recently went natural so now I am trying to learn the ins and outs of taking care of this new hair.

Thanks for posting. I have this and have used this for nearly 20 years. I remember the infomercial. When my hair was relaxed, this is all I would ever use. The curls were soft, bouncy, and lasted all day. I never tried it on my natural hair. So thanks for posting. I do use on my wigs tho. lol

I laughed so frickin hard! Every time hyou took out the roller and made the waaaah waah face was hilarious. I see day 2 had better results...So, I am on to watch your 3rd Attempt Video! Thanks for sharing!

I bought these rollers just thinking it would be a quick way to stretch my hair. They didn't work for that either with my shorter hair it was just a wet mess. The rollers didn't give you the look you wanted but your hair is so beautiful that I enjoyed watching the product fail !

You are right about how it works. Leobody used the Caruso rollers in a YT video in 2009 but she was working with flat-ironed hair. I was surprised to see her hair didn't revert! Actually looked good..but again, started with 3 day flat-ironed hair.

This video was hilarious! Thanks for the honest review. You saved someone some money.

I love the second look! It was lovely!

Your reaction to the first reveal😭.... PRICELESS!!!

I've tried/have those rollers and I love them! I sleep with them over night....my curls came out beautiful! Try that! It may work for you too!

The second attempt definitely was better than the first one, overall I don't think it was too bad. Thanks for the Review!

OMGosh you are hysterical!!! You had me totally cracking up in your first run of the rollers! I demoed these in a video too. I would have thought they would have relaxed your hair a little more, but you DO have a TON of hair! I watched the second half and saw they did curl better and relax it a bit. I would agree with you- blowing your hair out first would totally defeat the purpose! To use steam after a blow out is going to make your hair frizzy, and ruin all the hard work you put into your blowout. It would be similar to walking into a steam room right after a good blowout :(

Wow! I used to use this in the early 90s! It's back!

I use steam rollers on my 4B hair. I find that I get great results when I leave them in for about 2 hours. The hair will cool and dry and it's not damaging.

U r a hoot!!! When u took that 1st roller out, that face was priceless!!!

Love the second attempt! Thanks for sharing.

You have to leave it on the steamer longer and let it set longer. I am natural and I've done it on both blown out hair and detangled natural hair with success. I have also found that you get the best results with the medium and small rollers.

I used this back in my permed days and got great results. If you try this again try smaller sections and the smaller rollers. Leave the roller on the steamer a little longer (let roller steam while you applying a roller to your head), and steam the roller cap for a few sections before you snap it onto your rolled section of hair.

the second set was a win to me...looked like a bantu knot out or something similar.

Naptural85 on a bad hair day???? Still looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than my bad hair days!!! LOL!!

I worked at a hair salon in Brooklyn and we do a lot of natural hair. We use steam rollers but only when we're straightening the hair. It helps to give body and loose curls while the hair is straightened.

The second time you tried it looked cute and wavy!!

The face you made when you took the 1st roller out was too funny!!!

Don't eat it! You are hilarious! Thanks for the review! Your hair is so pretty!

I purchased these rollers for my relaxed hair and my hair always came out beautiful. I kept them even though I'm natural now because I use them for my weaves too. I never tried them on my naural hair but I think I wanna give it a shot on blow dried hair. Don't give up on them yet! You definitely have to do them in smaller sections and roll the hair tight onto the roller, the tighter you roll, the more smoothed out the hair will be even on relaxed hair.

The parts where the curl actually took and had more definition are the ones that were in you hair longer. I did noticed that it wasn't that much longer so the steam rollers are still a little promising. Well, it is the first time using the rollers. I always pass the steam rollers by and watching you do it give me some ideas of how to use it. I think I am still going to buy them! Fun video!

My mom and I both use this set. And it is great. To get the best results you want the roller to be at least warm. I saw that you didn't notice a temperature change. And also because it is steam try waiting until your hair is dry again. Another note to make is that I have never been successful in rolling my hair flat like you did on the roller. Results are always just curled ends and a big bump before it. I have bra strap length hair. No matter the type of roller, heat or not. What works for me is making the section into a loose single strand twist. then wrap it around the roller. Kind of like a bantu knot with out the pain of sleeping on it or the wait for it to set. I hope this helps.

Wow you have A LOT of hair! I keep wondering if I really want to deal with waist length natural hair. My hair is a lot of work already and its only past my shoulders! You make it look effortless. Thanks for all the tips, I must say this is my my favorite channel. : D

EXACTLY LIKE THE BOX. The funniest part. I was laughing so hard. Tears are falling. I'm literally on the ground.

Naps you were hilarious in this one. HILARIOUS!

I used to have one. It only worked on my relaxed hair and it made beautiful, bouncy, and shiney curls.

Really love your personality.

I've been "natural" all of my life and my grandma use to her steam rollers on my hair, it worked for me but she kept them in longer and I think left them on the steamer longer too. I tried doing it myself once but it came out like yours

Your hair has so much shine

You just have to make sure you keep the rollers and the roller cover on the steam for a little longer. I think that if you counted just a bit slower you might have had a better result. I think the smaller curlers might have given you a sleeker curl. Keep at it, girly. Rollers are pretty tricky to deal with to began with, I'm sure you'll eventually get it. :)

You were counting too fast. A second is more like "one thousand one" as opposed to "one."

I've noticed that when some of these companies claim that it's for all hair types or it can be used in African American hair they don't really mean tightly curled hair they're talking about the relaxed hair smh

Your face after that first roller take down was hilarious!

Your hair still looked super cute. It had a lovely loose curl/wave to it the second time. Nice video : )

This was the funniest vid to date.. i have been watching your stuff for awhile and your techniques are way better than this boxed set. Thanks for sharing..

Your videos are very informative & well done. Great work. I really appreciate this review

The Caruso steam rollers are a gift from god .lol It did wonders for my thick hair. Try a different rolling method. I did the winding rolling method and got the Tracee Ellis Ross effect. Love your blog!!!!!!!!

I used to use these back in the day, but I haven't ur them as a natural. Great tutorial!

I realllllyyyy love the second set!

I've seen the Caruso steam rollers work on blown out hair so I think that would probably be the only way I would apply them. It did sound like you were counting way too fast though, I'd maybe use a stopwatch next time? I thought it still turned out cute both times, thanks for the review!

she has beautiful hair :)

Maybe using a comb or a denman brush to smooth out the hair 1st would of made a difference.

It looks like it's a nice ways to stretch your hair further and moisturizer it too! I like the 2nd try though whit! Your hair is always gorgeous!!!
