Curlformers-Who Is Still Using Them?

[MizAvalon]

Mine have been sitting in my closet for quite some time now.erplexed

The curls are really pretty but it's just so much work. I may break them out a few times this winter since it's probably been over a year since I have used them. Any suggestions on how to make the curls last longer than a day?

Have you tried any setting lotions or cremes?

I would like to know how to make the curls last longer than a day too. I'm transitioning and the curlformers are fantastic for me...it's just that i haveta bantu knot the next day, then wash...

Pin curl them with bobby pins

I have bad childhood memories of setting lotions making your hair hard and crunchy!

Maybe I should give the more modern ones a chance.

I don't even know how to use them. They look like they'll cause some serious tangles and frizziness. I'll keep my distance from these.

They are really easy to use and the curls are so cute, they just don't last very long considering all the work you have to do.

After purchasing mine last year during the craze, I just started using them again. I have to use a small amount of foam and heavily dilluted Lottabody to get them to last about 2-3 days, pincurling at night.

I'm not sure where I saw this (I think it was a youtube tutorial) but I saw a method of keeping the Curlformers in a bit longer and after I tried it, I found that I was able to keep them in for about 2-3 days. On the 3rd day it looked like a twist out but that's an option if you haven't already tried it!

What I do is use a water and foam wrap mix on my hair before putting them in. Something like Lottabody Foam Wrap and water. At the end of the day, I pin them up much like you would close a slinky or something and then I cover my head with a net wrap before going to bed at night.

I have 4a hair and I've tried this 4 times and so far it's worked! I particularly like this when the new growth looks like it's trying to take over my head because it hides it really well!

Anyywwwayyy, that's what I do. Hopefully it will work for others!
