I regret getting Curlformers
. I bought them today wanting to do a different style for an event this evening. My first disappointment was the struggle it was for me to get my soaking wet curly hair in them. I used a setting lotion and made sure my hair was wet so it could slide in easily, most of my hair just bunched up inside the roller. I bought the long & wide, and the long & narrow ones. The long & thin ones are definitely not for natural hair. Another thing, I could barely get the hook though the long & narrow one, it's like the hook is too big for the narrow rollers so that was a struggle, I thought I was doing something wrong, but to use them, I had to use very little hair. Anyway, I sat under my soft bonnet dryer (which is great by the way) for 1 1/2 hrs. My hair was dry, but when I took the curlers out, they were a frizzy mess, some of my hair did not slide completely down the roller and got kinda bunched up in the roller, not one came out the way that I thought it would. And my hair looked extremely dry. I could have cried, I wasted so much time with my hair this morning and afternoon. I guess I had high hopes for them, I really wanted them to work. I am taking them back, I can't even see trying them again, because the whole experience was just frustrating. I have flexirods and I thought these would be better, but they were not. I'm happy for the ladies that have had great experiences with them.
Has anyone with extremely curly hair had any success with these, I could see the ends of my hair in the roller and it was still curly inside the roller, it never straightened out
