Simply beautiful! Your hair is so pretty. When I grow some more hair, I definitely want to get some of these curlformers.
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).
LadyKayPNC has a youtube tutorial of using these on natural hair. She had great results:

*crossing fingers*Be sure to take lots of pics!OMG. They are $10.99-$12.99 a pack.
I'm going to get 6 packs... that's like $70-80
Well if they work I will be selling my rods & flexi rods
in the exchange forum.
They do look like you'd be able to sleep in them maybe
since they dry so quick I can air dry overnight... less heat
DING DING DING DING
Why am I so excited... Calm down...
It's just that I was going to go home and flexi rod
and this looks so much more comfortable and less time consuming.
I hope my Sally's has them ((CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR ME ))
Your hair turned out soooo pretty!! Do they only work on relaxed hair?
Ok, you are the official Curlformer model. When I think of curlformers you are going to be the one that comes to mind.
Those curls look absolutely beautiful on you. I think you should be the pitch model and especially since you are beautiful too.
So how long did it take to set your hair?erplexed Was it quicker than flexi rods or roller setting or perm rods? *say yes please *
