Curl Formers (New Size) - Super Long Spiral Kit?

[MsJamerican]

My hair is currently 10" long and I am growing it to 35" long (Classic Length on me). Should I buy the "Super Long Spiral Curls" Curlformers (They are the longest the line has ever made. 29 inches/75cms). I want to be able to stretch my natural hair so I can stop getting ssk and tangles. Wouldn't it be a better investment to get those verses the 14" ones that my hair will eventually be too long for?

On the official website they said if your hair is too long for the set you can slip the curl formers down so is covers your ends. When I do that in the future with the 29" ones it will still look right verses the shorter ones. I don't want to spend money on their products twice.

I may be over thinking but I need feedback.

That is what I did in order to not have to spend double. Unfortunately, 29" wasn't out at the time...

OP, I hate putting perm rods on my hair that sticks out of the Curlformers. The website normally has a 20% off discount for BF and Cyber Monday. Also, you can order the 29" Curlformers here at less expense. The option is No. 18, which is the last one.

Gurl bu ebay has them at a fraction of the price they dry faster and are long. Ill measure when I get home

Thank you for responding. This reassures my decision.

Did your hair shrink up in the curl former right before you took the rod out since it's still "open"?

This is great. Thank You so much!

I forgot to ask. Do you know if the material is different on the knock-off version verses the brand name?

 

[Blairx0]

i had both the knock off and the name brand. COuldn't tell the difference once I mixed them up

MsJamerican, you can't tell the difference as Blairx0 noted. It's the same thing, just different packaging.

Think of Hefty vs. Ziplock, they're the same thing.

MsJamerican How do you dry your hair in the curlformers? I hope my question isn't too off-topic.

 

[MileHighDiva]

^^ I know the above question wasn't directed towards me, but I air dry my hair in them. Also, my hair looks chemically or thermally relaxed when I use them. HTH!

I don't own them yet but when I do own and use them, I would air dry over night in them.

They are hell to sleep in even though I saw a video where the girl put it up in a ponytail and went to sleep, I was thinking wouldn't my hair come out sticking straight up. But that was the worst sleep with them in my hair

I seen a video by Naptural85. She gave tips on how to sleep in them comfortably. You loosen them at the roots a bit, then you put the front sides in ponytails so they won't get in your way and you move the back around based on how you want to sleep...

 

[JJamiah]

I sleep fine and I'm with no loosening. I use one of my kids to 2t or 3t t- shirt over the curlformers and my head so they barely move. comfort isn't an issue when I do this.

good idea!

 

[MsJamerican]

You ladies think 40 is enough or do I need more?

I was thinking of buying 2 packs (I am waiting for some type of discount or sale on ebay. I never shopped on that site before).

I've just seen the new sizes on the curlformers website but I'm gonna wait for the Black Friday sale to buy.

I don't buy anything during Black Friday because many companies trick people during that time. They hike up the price, mark it down then call it a sale so they don't lose much money...

 

[Dee Raven]

Ooooh, I want to get the long and extra wide curlformers!

 

[Ogoma]

I want to buy the dupe. I have the regular long ones.

I noticed it is being shipped from China. Did you guys have any problems with the vendor? How long did it take you to receive it?

For something like this that the price is already known, I am not sure jacking up the price would work just before BF.

Sally had a good deal last BF.

Two weeks.

Thanks MileHighDiva for posting that dupe site. I own the originals and have been eyeing the narrow ones but didn't want to pay the curlformer price.

 

[MileHighDiva]

No problem, blackbarbie986. If it's the same thing, I'm all about saving :dollar::dollar::dollar:

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.
