I promised some of the ladies a review on the Extra Long & Wide Curlformers (pink and orange). A promise is a promise, so here we go!
The first time, I used the Long & Narrow ones (blue and green). My original post: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=205335&page=2
First off, when I placed the hook inside these, I noticed they were muuuuuch longer when stretched out (about 1 1/2 ft). Perfect for BSL and MBL. Half of my Curlformer was empty, unlike the blue & green ones, where some of my ends were hanging out (had to slide them down).
This time, I used a mixture of ORS Wrap/Set Foam, water, and castor oil in a spray bottle to set. I really didn't like the foam, made my hair kinda rough. I'll stick to Lacio for future sets. Again, Monday will make me 14 wks post and I'm about BSL.
Amazingly, I dried in 30 min. I bought the pink Ion dryer from Sally's (had a $5 coupon & Pibbs ain't in the budget right now ). You guys weren't kidding, that sucka gets hot! It worked great. The hair dries quicker b/c unlike rollers, the hair isn't wrapped over itself.
It was funny b/c my father was intrigued at how these things worked, so I had to give him a demonstration.
DAD: It gets the roots and all?
ME: LMAO, what u know bout the roots?? (mind you, he has like Type 1 hair, with no worries in the world!!)
DAD: I know how ya'll are wit ya roots!
Once again, I'm officially in love with these things. Let me know what ya think.
Enjoy!
Notice that I still had half the Curlformer left (perfect for longer hair).
