The curls hold well and are very defined. I used the HRC12J for my short hair and got tight, bouncy coils without heat. The grip is solid and the rods stay in place even when wet.

Great for creating finger coils. The color coding helps me pick the right rod quickly. I’ve used them on both natural and relaxed hair and the results are consistent.
Anna Sutherland –
I love that I don’t need to use heat. The rods dry evenly and the curls last all day. The elastic bands keep them secure during the process.

The tight curls are exactly what I wanted. A bit harder to handle than regular rods, but worth it for the defined look. Works best with a light hold product.
