Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!
I used these last night. I brought 4 packs and a hook $50. I used a leave in and a foam for setting. Here's what I think.... They were easy to use once you get the hang of them. The curls are all the same size which I love. It took my thick hair about an hour to dry (same with flexi rods).
The down side is I am almost 8 weeks post and I think my hair is too long for the blue and green ones. I had to leave too much out at the top in order to get the rollers to the ends. so my roots are hella poofy. I had to end up using a head band because of my roots.
I did see where you can use two on top of each other so I may try this with a shorter one and see if I can get all my hair in and what the results of that would be. I think I am going to see if I can get a pack of narrow short ones and see if I can stack a long and short on on top of each other. If this works I will keep them. If not I still got my receipt and they are going back.
How do that work? Do you just put two curlformers on the rod or do one at a time? I think I may try it
Ok, I'm under the dryer now and I'm so excited to share my reviews of curlformers.
This morning, I did a hardcore Aphogee treatment and DC. Then I parted my hair in 4 sections, made a Giovanni/LottaBody/Water setting concoction, and sprayed each section. I then used some setting foam and made small parts in the quadrant of hair I was working on. The back half of my head is in long and narrow, the top is a mixed long and narrow and extra long and wide. I purchased 6 packs of long and narrow and 3 of extra long and wide. I have 6 curlformers left (2 L&N and 4 EL&W), and that is because I saw I was nearing the end of my supply and made my parts larger than I would've liked. I'm going to have to purchase more extra long and wide because about 8 or so have hair coming out the bottom. Putting 2 L&N on the hook didn't work out too well and they got caught in my hair.
I did run into problems when the hook would get caught in the curlfomer. This was because I was putting them on too fast and the curlformer was getting jammed on the hook. Although the curlformer had a big gaping hole in it from the hook sticking out, once I stretched it out and got the hook out, there was no tear and the curlformer spiraled tightly again.
All in all, once I got the hang of putting the curlformers in and got my routine down, it was smooth sailing. The trick for me was that I had to twist my hair like 6x and kinda of hold it when I put in the hook around the section of hair.
It took 45 minutes to put them in. I've been under the dryer for about 45 minutes and I'm probably done. I will post pics if I like the result.
I have to agree with the OPs, these are the best device I've ever used on my hair to curl. No more perm rods, flexi rods, or magnetic rollers for me.

Just wondering...Is this another style that only looks good on ladies with longer, thicker hair?
I finally realized that braid outs and twist outs don't look good on my collar bone length, thin strands and before I invest in these, I wanted to see if any thin haired ladies with hair shorter hair had good results. Got pics?
Ok yall, here's another one. I just finished putting in mine about 30 minutes ago. i'm about to go sit under the dryer and voila another set of pic you will have. someone mentioned earlier that they wanted to see how it worked on someone with shorter thinner hair than most of the reviewers so far. I have shorter (touches my shoulders) hair, but no so much thinner, so hope this review and pics help.
Ok ladies i'll be back with pictures
Aww...that's great that DH lent a helping hand!!Here is where it get tricky....the next day. I intentionally didn't wrap or pin curl hair last night. This morning...results were not good! However for a first attempt AND with hubby doing it, not bad!
Pinkskates has joined the club. I'm under the dryer as I type. I bought 7 packages and used 6. I have never spent so much money on hair rollers! Yikes!!! But I am in love with these. Next time I will use all 7 packages, to cover more of my crown area. Ladies with BSL and longer you will need the Extra Long pink/orange ones. The Long blue/green ones were too short for my hair. Most of my hair is MBL and the front is 2 inches shorter. Here are some pics. I'm under the dryer right now. Oh and I used Aveda Phomillent as my setting lotion. Will post results later.

Pinkskates,
I got some curlformers and I'm under the dryer too!! I have APL hair and sometimes it felt like I was pulling that hook so hard to get it through that it was gonna rip my hair right outa my head. I dont know if my hair was too wet or maybe I didnt have enough slip, I dont know. Did it feel like that when you were pulling your hair through the cf?
