Wow, your hair looks great! I think it turned out well. Where did you buy the 'knock-off'?

I got the knockoffs as well, and they are Awesome. And they still work just fine a year later, and I wasn't payin all that money for the "real" ones either. Ain't nothin wrong with a bootleg!!

Wow, the curls came out perfectly. Did you use a setting lotion? Did you sit under a dryer? *waits on the purchasing details*

I'm certain the knockoffs have to be as good a the real deal because I have the real ones and have only used them a few times and they have a few snags in them where the hook will get stuck sometimes...so the re ones can't be all that special. Im going to get some of the knockoffs to add to mine because I could use about ten more so I'm not scraping at the end trying to make sure I have enough to finish my whole head.

Just ordered two packs of 20 on eBay. Just do a search for magic leverage they were $5.99 each, it's from Hong Kong so the estimated time is between July 2- July 16th. Oh well I saved $46 bucks!

I heard the magic leverage doesn't last long.

ebay. they are magic leverage. I got four packs for 22.00 including shipping.
I did use setting foam. I used ORS foaming setting lotion and a dab of some product I have in a little yellow tube that you apply to curly hair when you are going to straighten it with heat. I planned to sit under the dryer but the 50-11 things I had to do kept getting in the way, I ended up hitting it with the hand dryer at the end, just to make sure it was dry.
I;m not sure, but for the price I think its worth it even if you only get one pack just to make sure you'll like it.
Details:
- The colors are random and don't mean anything, they are just pretty. I measured the length and these are great for a newly natural or short hair sisters. The longer ones were 9" and the shorter ones were 6".
- The wand was rough aroung the tip so I filed it with a nail file to smooth it out.
- some of the ends were a bit stuck together and I had to stick my finger in to open it up and if I found rough tips from this, I just put that end near the ends of my hair so it couldn't snag and pull out any hair from.
- I did it this time on damp hair, next time I plan to try it on dry hair but dampening it with product on each section.
- I used 50 of them because i wanted to be sure I was doing it right.
- I noticed that if my sections were too big that it got "stuck" as I was trying to pull my hair thru.

I was tempted to buy the extra wide and extra long, but curlformers are an inch longer then the knock offs so I am waiting. The extra inch for me is a make or break it for the deal, I don't want to have to cut off extra hair so soon!
I already own CF extra long and wide.
Your hair looks great OP!

I bought one pack yesterday to try, i got mine for a couple cents less in the 99 cents store. I tried it on one quarter size section, took it out after less than three hours and i can tell you already that i loved the results.
Well considering that i won't be using this everyday i'm sure i will get my money's work. I'm really not into paying so much for the original besides too little comes in the pack and you have to get short and wide/narrow or long and narrow; two different prices for too little.
Side Note: My hair was not freshly washed, the section the curl former on was 2 weeks post washed hair so i can only imagine how much more beautiful it will be on freshly washed hair.

I have knock offs, too. They work great! I ordered them on Ebay.
