GeminiGem I have great luck with roller picks. You have to learn how to put them in without ripping your hair and without causing pain to your scalp. When inserted correctly, they provide just enough tension without hurting you. You have to put them in the opposite direction of the direction you rolled your hair. I have attached a picture of the hair picks that I use for those big holes in the hourglass rollers. In my opinion, they provide the best hold for these particular rollers. I have also attached a close up picture of my roller set so you can see how I insert my hair picks. For bigger rollers like the Aqua one, I usually insert the hair picks starting on the inside of the roller and push it through to my scalp. For smaller rollers like the yellow ones, I usually insert them starting on the outside and push it through the inside, through another hole, and to my scalp. My signature, if you are using the LHCF website and not the LHCF app, also contains a picture of my roller set. I hope this helps you!
GeminiGem No problem! Those nubs in the middle of this particular roller pick make all the difference for me. The other roller picks I have tried with these rollers just fall right out because they are too thin. Keep trying! You can do it!
My goals are...
It does take forever to dry now to tell you the truth ahaha. but i guess that's a good thing- it means my hair has gotten thicker and healthier this year.
), and I used to set with them every wash day.

Here's how my hair turns out after a good curlformer set:
Shiny, full of body, with flat roots. But for some reason, my ends were always a frizzy. I used to ignored my frizzy ends because most of my hair looked good. But I think that curlformers may have contributed to thinning out my ends. I'm not 100% sure, and this is just what I have observed for *my* hair - maybe other people's hair thrives on curlformers. I wish mine did. I have 5 packs of curlformers in my closet (lol yeah, it's bad...
But I didn't retain that much length this year, and a primary reason for that was because my ends were so raggedy and I kept having to cut more inches off than I wanted to. I DC every wash day and I handle my ends with care, so my hypothesis is that the hair tools I use were to blame. My guess is that my ends tangle and knot up in the curlformer since I can't get my ends as smooth inside the curlformer vs on a regular roller or flexirod. So I'm going to stop using my curlformers and Denman brush in 2015 and see how my hair does.
