Oh I forgot about this thread! Yes the pics that Napp attached are the rollers I posted about. Sorry to say I have not purchased those rollers yet. However, the bumping of this thread has renewed my interest. I personally have not seen these rollers in any local beauty supply stores. They are different from mesh (also diff from the french mesh) So I will stop by that salon one day this week and see if they are still willing to get them for me.

I actually have these rollers. A wonderful lady on this board went to Ethiopia about 9 months ago and sent me a couple of packs.. I love them and they do not pull or snag your hair..

I actually did get two sample packs from SelTom because I was interested in having a small quantity imported to maybe sell on ebay or something. But I messaged him on alibaba and it took him like two months to answer me. Then we he did, he told me that he would send me samples but I would have to pay for shipping. Which I did, no problems there. But I didn't receive enough for my whole head so I was interested in ordering more.
That's when it got a little weird. He told me I was going to have to spend like $700 or $800 with him (which most wholesalers do want you to order a certain amount from them, I just had no intentions spending that much
). I negotiated him down on that and I thought we had a deal, but every week I asked him about fulfilling my order he kept giving me the run around. Then eventually he stopped answering.
I mean, you guys might have better luck but I would maybe contact the manufacturer: Sal-Srl. They are located in Milan, Italy. (SelTom also would not tell me the name of the manufacturer and removed traces of this information from the package he sent me. I had to do some heavy research to find this out)
At this point though I think I just want to learn how to master magnetic rollers, instead of going through all this trouble

Hi, all
I am currently in Ethiopia. I have before brought these rollers to one of the members here. She liked them. I use them all the time. They actually don't pull or damage hair at all. In any case if anyone is interested in getting them please pm me and I can do it for you.

The name of the shop is Salon Revive.
I think I posted a review on them a few years back. I have not been there in a while. Yodit is my stylist there. It's a very nice salon. It's Aveda concept and they get you in out and don't BLINK at natural hair. I went more often when I had color. Their steam treatments are great. But do I all that @ home. So salon visits have become a treat when I don't feel like dealing with my hair. There is a new dominican spot I go to in NE that has $25 specials on Mon & Tue. That has been my hair treat spot so far this year.

Bump... Is anyone interested in buying these rollers? I found a seller that has 2 sizes (50 mm and 45 mm, 6 rollers per pack) and will let me do a small order of 50 packs of each size.
ETA: I haven't ordered them yet. I want to see if there is enough interest in them to justify placing an order. I don't want to order 100 packs and have the majority of them taking up space in my apartment.

I spoke with a vendor on alibaba back in November. She was willing to do a smaller order than what you had discussed with SelTom. She only had the two largest sizes. I tried to gauge interest in them, but i didn't get many replies, so i didn't order. Her company name is Cosima's Beauty Supply if you want to look her up on alibaba.

I did a search for these rollers recently and came across this web store. It looks like it might still be under construction but it looks like they carry these rollers. I included a link.

Thanks! I suck at rollersetting so I can't see making that type of investment at the moment but I'll be watching to see people's results with them.

No problem LivingDoll! I'm working to become better at roller setting too; it's a journey. I really like these rollers because they keep my unrelaxed roots from "puffing" out. My mom, who is relaxed, takes them to her regular stylist and loves them bc of the decreased drying time. I think they have different value for different people.
If you live near any Ethiopian salons I'd try them there first if you're worried about the investment. -A Lifelong Product Junkie

So sorry those damaged your hair. I could see how those would snag, damage and tangle hair. The Conici rollers have small rounded grooves that help provide tension without damage. I attached a side pic so that you can see (I hope). HTH
