Yes ma'am ... Where there is a WILL there is a WAY!!!! I asked him to email me a short video just so you all could see how easy they snap and come apart since my computer is down :-/ he sent the video tonight and as you can see the plates hold together very well!!

My husband is officially fired as my PC Technician...lol!!! I am dropping it off at the shop tomorrow. The guy said I should have it back by Tuesday. :-)

I don't know if anyone else notices ...but in the first few seconds of the video where the person is attaching the piece, it seemed like a struggle to attach it... then the vid was edited to show it suddenly attached right afterward ... it's a quick edit so it may not be noticeable to everyone at first, but I'm wondering about how easy they really snap together for a person of average strength in real time?
 
Thanks Kelechi, the video does help a ton.

Arlana Bunnyhaslonghair and ladies with super long hair, if you absolutely must you can always do half of your hair and then the other half! :lol: Okay I laugh, but seriously! Lol. When I only had one pack of Curlformers the 40 was nowhere near enough, so I had to do half of my hair and then the other. A bit tedious but it worked!

I'm thinking of switching my All Star packages to medium hair (instead of long) because it comes with more plates. My issue isn't so much length (only BSL) but the amount of hair. Going to measure my hair tonight and see if I can get away with switching. g.lo can you try measuring your HL DD hair? The plates come in 2x6, 2x10, 2x1... measure it and see which package would benefit you the most according to the sizes.


Edit: NappyRina I don't see where it looks like an edit. In reality we do want these things to be tight because with time they become less so. The pulling and inserting weakens the areas that grip, which I do forsee to be a problem for those who unsnap/resnap too much overtime. I'm planning on snapping mine once, and leaving them snapped for life! Lol. Except while travelling. In the end it's plastic and will come off and go in with enough pressure. We don't want it to be weak.

Will there be a video of the plates being used on type 4 hair? Yes or no?

It needs to show them being installed on the whole head. I would like to see how many I would need.

It needs to show removal.

The video needs to show what the entire head of hair looks like after removal of the plates without styling.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

The edit is very quick between seconds 1 & 2 where he is trying to attach the piece ... I noticed it but it's very quick ...

I agree they should be sturdy and I believe that once a person determines the right length for their hair, they should certainly leave the pieces snapped to avoid weakening the connecting parts ... I'm just concerned about how difficult that initial connection will be for people and wanted to see it in real time

The manufacturer sent me a quick video just for you all to view. I just needed something for you all to understand the concept of how they snap together. Please remember that he was working with a prototype and not the actual product because we have not produced it yet. When dealing with prototypes, you are basically using a model of what the actual product will look like. I asked him to make sure that the plates snap together for a FIRM fit, so the connection is tight. Once you get the hang of snapping these plates together I am sure you will be able to do it with ease. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

knbradley would it be better to get the medium All Star package than the long if you have BSL hair? I noticed one of the other posters mentioned that the medium had more plates.

Thanks!

Here is my question that I and others keep asking. A very simple yes or no will suffice.

She said she is already working on a video but her computer with the videos has issues and is trying to get it fixed... Hence why the video for the type 4 head is delayed I think...
 
I haven't watched the most current video. Does it show the plates being out in? Does it show the whole head? How many plates were used?

I just watched the video. The snaps are BRILLIANT! I think its okay that you have to put pressure on them. That means they won't come apart easily. I could imagine the backlash if they came apart while you were trying to apply the plates. I don't see why anyone would want to cut them off. They don't seem like they would damage the hair whether you used them or not.

Here is the video we have all seen... Looking at sections she used, the look like the same size sections like you were using magnetic rollers so however many rollers you would need.

That is the same video with one section on type 4 and half a head on type 3 that I have already seen. I thought there was a new one. I use more curlformers in a section than magnetic rollers in a section. I am not sure if I can calculate how many plates I would need based on that. I figured out how many curlformers I needed from videos. The first time I bought curformers I ran out and had to go back to Sallys. II can't run to Sallys to buy more. I do not want to do half my head at a time. That would be crazy trying to keep the straight section from getting wet when I spray my hair to put in the plates on the remaining hair. It would be inconvenient.

I don't understand why she didn't do the the whole head instead of a small section in the official video. From the beginning we have asked that a whole demo be done using type 4 hair.

She says in her yt video that she would use 12 to do the entire head. Based on the section of hair in that video she would need more than 12 and based on your suggestion to use the same amount of magnetic rollers, more than 12 rollers would be needed.

just wanted to find out which sets to get for : my 12 year DDHL (4b), 3 years DD BSl (4b) and me Sl (4a).

Merci
 
I upped my donation!! I need more of those plates. By the time I am out of my 3 month crochet braid stint. The plates should be delivered. I got the $50 Diva long pack and the $80 all Star long one.

This puts me to a total 48 long plates, 40 medium plates and 24 small ones. It will cover my hair (I should need no less than 30 for my head) and leave room for me to grow into them to BSL.
 
What set/sets is everyone getting and what is their hair length? I got the all star pack but I'm BSl with around 14-15 inches of hair give or take so I don't know if I need more or not for with curlformers, I need way more than 30 to cover my whole head.
 
It's now Aug/Sept for delivery.

I'm still trying to figure out which set to order, I have dense hair. I'm thinking of getting the $45 or $60 set. Also is like to know who won the contest she had, it's been a couple weeks.

Eta: autocorrect gets on my nerves sometimes, with it's helpful self. :ohwell:
