Curlformers

toaster · Jan 2, 2014

I ordered the EWEL set from the curlformers website. They should be arriving at my apartment the same day I'll be back from my holiday vacation. I hope 1 pack will be enough! I'm only using it to stretch my hair for bigger, fluffier, buns and not the actual curls. Will probably order another set sometime next month for the actual curly look.

I use curlformers mainly to stretch my hair, I wear the style for about 2 days only. Here is my most recent curlformers set.

*I use non branded curlformers, that I bought on Ebay

Sleeping in Curlformers is so uncomfortable, I keep dh awake with all my tossing and turning. Have you ladies seen the dryer that attaches to your blow dryer? I bought one at Sally's and it dries the hair pretty fast, just have to figure out what to do so they won't flatten when sleeping because I refuse to sleep with them in my hair.

I'm telling you sleeping in them is the debil!

ya'll have such pretty sets!

New Year's Curlformer set. All set in under 40 mins...it has gotten so much easier to apply them now that I'm all natural and my hair doesn't tangle as quickly

For those that ordered from ebay - how long did you wait to receive your package?

jazzyto · Jan 10, 2014

I have some but cant seem to get the curls to last more than a day. Thinking about using them before flat ironing instead of blowdrying. anybody use them like that??

angellike · Jan 10, 2014

ladies that have trouble sleeping on them this method is super helpful still a little uncomfortable but much better than trying to sleep on them normally

Yes jazzyto. And if you make the parts small enough it get reeeaaaally straight. That could mean using lower heat.

Soooo I finally use my curl formers (knock-offs) today and will be sleeping in them. I applied on dry hair and combed Each section, apply Jane Carter twist and wrap foam and oyin bsp. I Must've done something wrong because 58 rollers only covered the back section :ohwell:

I'll get creative with the front.

I will update this post with the results.

My results: hated it....I definitely will wait until I have enough for full head

The back was nice but the front was a hot mess

I like the results!

BonBon · Jan 25, 2014

Would I have to use gel if I was only using curlformers for stretching?

I don't actually want to wear the curls (at the moment) and hate gel in my hair.

APrayer4Hair, your hair came out beautiful: looks soft, shiny, and bouncy. What did you use to set your hair?
I know what you mean about the front. I have the same issue with most out styles right now. The front does not hang low enough, to make it look cute. I usually pin the front down like you did, or in a pompadour or something. Anyways I love it.

Never mind, I went back send read your post. I have this wrap lotion, but never used it. You've inspired me to try this. I will use one of my butter mix in place of the Oyin bsp. I may do this instead of a flat iron for valentines.

I tried for the first time and it was a complete fail. My hair won't go through at all. It's stuck not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

If you're having trouble getting your hair through, the section might be too big. I know I've grabbed too large of a section when I can't get it through the Curlformer. If I split it in half, it's usually much easier.

Also, are you twisting the root? This makes it easier for me to latch the hook onto my hair.

Ogoma · Jan 29, 2014

I think they need to make hooks with wider openings for textured hair.

Both of these were my issue the first time I tried, especially making the sections too big.

freckledface · Jan 29, 2014

That could very well be it. I'm just afraid I'm gonna run out. I'll be sure to buy another pack I only have 40.

freckledface · Jan 29, 2014

Also I did twist the. How small are the sections yall are using? I have the wide ones.

FollicleFanatic · Jan 30, 2014

Cosigning on too big sections. Also they will take much longer to dry. Give it another shot once you have more rollers.

I have 72 of the barrel (EW,EL) CF's (24 are bootleg) and I'm enjoying them. The curls are great and last all day, which is good enough for me.

How much did all 72 cost? Do theu only last 1 day? If so, do you try to salvage it or just do new style? If they do last longer than 1 day,.how do you preserve? Pin curls?

girlonfire · Feb 1, 2014

I want to get some curlformers for my senior prom coming up but i can't decide on the size! I saw mariaantoinette on yt use the spiral ones an i liked her look but there aren't many naturals w/ videos on the barrel ones. I might even consider the corkscrew ones, but there's like 2 vids on that one and i think they're both relaxed
