The waves came out so cute and your hair is very long when stretched.Bumping.
I did a pre-run practice with those on two small sections in the front of my head. I have finally learned: When trying something time-consuming and new, do a small test-run first! I did the set on DAMP, very coily, 4a hair using Design Essentials honey foam.
Right now I am not inspired to do this over my entire head:
I tried to take a lot of photos to help people decide if they want to invest in these. With one of the curlformers, I put in an amount of hair narrower than the width of the curlformer. It came out MUCH smoother. With the other curlformer, I put in the amount of hair EQUAL to the width of the curformer. It didn't come out as smooth.
- I feel like the sections need to be VERY tiny in order for the hair to come out smooth.
- Also, my hair is short, and the waves are so deep that I'm not sure how great the overall look would come out -- due to how the WAVE ends on each piece of hair.
- FINALLY, I feel I would need a super strong, crunchy hold for this style to be worth it. Maybe the style would last if I took a super hold hair spray and sprayed each wave after I removed the curlformers???
If I can find a way to get a very crunchy, strong, long-lasting hold, I might try a set. I hope I have enough wavy curlformers!: It seems like I'd need to make VERY small sections to get this to work.

I think that the style was messed up at the separation stage only. So yes you could possibly benefit from a hard-hold product, for example your best hair gel. I use my Wetline gel for bantu knot outs and it gives me very good hold. Also maybe pay more attention and be gentler at the separation stage? For me I try to follow where the clumps themselves want to separate. When I style soaking wet my hair makes small clumps within the bigger chunks of hair that I grab to twist or knot so at take down it's easier and neater to separate these small clumps from each other than to separate arbitrarily.
