I got them in the mail on Friday and put them in on Sunday (wash day).
I had a few rough spots putting them in but for the most part it was easy. It took about an hour to 1 1/2 hours to detangle and put them in (40 extra long and wide)
Tips
I will use again on special occasions.
I will use a dryer. I refuse to sleep in them again.
I like the way my hair felt and looked
I might use some setting lotion next time but I don't like my hair to be stiff.
I didn't get any good pictures but here are some:

Tips
- Use small sections
- Twist the root of the hair
- Make sure every strand in that section is in the hook before pulling
- if not ,your hair is going to get tangled and caught in the hook
- Make sure the end of the curlformer is over the hook and against the scalp before pulling
- if not, the hook and the curlformer will get caught in each other
- Hurt to sleep on; very uncomfortable to sleep in
- I finished putting them in at 3 pm and about 1/4 of the sections where not dry by 6 am the next morning so ended up with some frizzing; I sat under the dryer this morning for 15-20 minutes and it still was not dry
- when I got home today, I put the sections into twists because I could not see it lasting more than one day
- I know that I will either need 24 hours to dry or I will have to stay under the dryer for a good while; I will use the dryer because I do not want to sleep in them again
- My hair was uber soft. I did not do anything different when I moisturized. I realized that perceived softness is different between stretched hair and kinky hair.
- I received tons of compliments
- 4 - hair touchers
- 1 - what you mixed with? you got Indian in you?
- I asked him, "Why if a black woman has some length, she got to be mixed with something?" He said he knew I would say that and we ended up laughing.
- 1 - are you wearing extensions?
- 5 - your hair has grown/your hair's long
