I bought these rollers because I wanted to try out a different way of curling my hair with out spending a fortune incase they didnt give the desired effect. They do produce a fantastic ringlet and I'm glad I tried these out, now I can purchase a better quality set knowing im not wasting my money. Although these work, I dont like having to slot the ends together and the foam they are made of is such poor quality that if you twist them to tightly in your hair (which you kind of have to do or they just fall out), your hair squishes sections of the roller which causes them to snap. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to try something new then I would recommend these, but if you want good quality that won't break after a few uses then get proper bendy rollers with the wire in them.
