Nicky Clarke Frizz Control Volume Rollers Review
I was recently sent the Nicky Clarke Frizz Control Volume Rollers to try and review. I can safely say that my journey in finding a simple way to curl my thick, long, persistently straight hair continues. Looking at other Amazon reviews I am not the only person to be disappointed by this product.
The Nicky Clarke Frizz Control Volume Rollers come with 12 separate rollers and clips. The rollers and jumbo sized with a 40mm barrel. They come in a small soft travel size case that can heat 6 of the rollers at the time. The rollers take about 10 minutes to heat up and have a heat indicator on the top that turns white when they are ready to use. I’ve used similar products in the past, very old fashioned versions of this product donated by my Gran and they were fantastic to curl my hair. 
To start with the curlers can only be heated 6 at a time. This isn’t really an issue as you can add rollers to heat up whilst you apply the heated ones. 12 rollers really weren’t enough to cover my whole head of hair so I ended up using the rollers twice which took a long time. The rollers are hot to hold when applying but not so hot that they burn’t my hands or scalp. I followed the instructions and left the rollers in for over 30 minutes each.
For thick hair it recommends leaving them in for 15-30 minutes. I removed the rollers and used my finger to try and twist them back into the curl. My hair wasn’t curled at all, I was so disappointed with the results. Other than flicking the end of my hair as you can see in the picture the rollers hadn’t done anything. It took around and hour and a half, longer than if I had used tongs and my hair didn’t have loose curls. The Nicky Clarke Frizz Control Volume Rollers might work for adding volume or work better on thin hair but for me this product was useless, as you can see in my results below.

That sucks, I had a similar experience with the topstyler curling system. Thanks for sharing.

Ow honey, just use curling iron :) Easier, quicker and beautiful curls guaranteed. I use Braun Satin Care curling iron. It’s really good.
Such a shame when a product doesn’t work as expected, lovely honest review though!

Its so annoying when they don’t work like they are meant to.
I tried the Curl Secret by VS Sassoon and that didn’t work on my hair I was so upset!
I just use my GHDs to curl my hair I link they last better than when I use hot rollers.

Oh dear it’s a shame to see a product do so badly but I’ve had the same problems myself and I have thin hair. My favourites at the moment are the Mark Hill flexi hot rods because they give a really wild and blown out look as normal curlers (like the ones you’ve reviewed) don’t seem to do anything.

So much respect for you for being honest in this post! It can be hard to be negative when you’ve been sent something. This was really well worded, lovely post.
