Curlformers vs. FlexiRods

[Foxglove]

I ended up buying flexi rods bc of the price. I don't see curlformers coming into my hair budget anytime soon, even with the 15% off coupon. That is a few months of my hair budget

I like flexirods better because they give a fuller set. A lot of the curlformer sets looks really flat/thin to me

Agreeing- IMO, the curlformer curls look like curling iron curls. I like fuller looking curls, especially at the ends of the hair.

flexirods - because that is what i have .. Tbhey are cheap and depending on how i roll my hair and how much hair i roll , i can get big drop curls , small drop curls or big model curls

The Curlformers make beautiful curls, but I couldn't use them on my thin hair. All of my hair would be gone I think! Anyone with thin hair use these?

I have THIN hair and I love them, gives my hair FULLNESS.

I think it depends on the type of hair you have: relaxed, texlaxed or natural. I did a curlformers review (in my FOTKI, April 2008 folder) and for the money you spend, curlformers added no additional benefits to my relaxed hair. For my relaxed hair, I like the flexirods... As I transition on to natural, I believe the curlformers will give me greater benefit...

Agreed. I don't like the curls that you get from curlformers. I have some gray flexirods that I have yet to use and from what I have seen from pics of some of the ladies on here, the flexirods give fuller, bigger jucier curls.

It's so funny that this thread came up because I woke up this morning with te conscious decision to go to Sally's and get either curlformers or flexirods (or both). Please keep the opinions coming!!

Can Curlformers or Flexrods be used on pressed hair?

 

[MizAvalon]

I just used my Curlformers for the first time in a while yesterday and it was great. Felt good to pull them out and use them again. I think I'll be alternating between those and rollersets for the cooler months.

I have always wanted to try them but I can't see myself paying 8.99 a pack when the flexirods are 1.99 @ my local BSS or the perm rods are 1.59 a pack.
