Curlformers!

So I finally broke down and got the Curlformers set in long & extra wide!

I've been dying to try these but hesitated due to the price. Just so you guys know, I have very stuburn hair. I refuses to curl, I've tried everything and nothing holds well at all. Lately I try to be as natural as possible to spare my body as much damage as possible. So I've tried every form of 'over night, heat free curling' that there is. rollers, braids, socks, rags, paper bags, ect. you name it and I've tried it. Some of those techniques worked but didn't give me the type of structered curl that I was looking for and the tended to go limp rather quick even with hair spray and such. So as a last ditch effort and after watching litterally every video review I could find on curlformers I ordered some. I still feel that they are rather pricy but after using my set I am very glad that I got it. Below is a picture of me with the curlformers in for the first time. Please forgive my au naturale face as I was ready for bed so I could sleep with the curlformers in and wake up and go.

First I have to tell you all that this is truly the easiest curling method that I have ever used! I have mid-length hair but its pretty thick and it likes to fight back ;-) typically to curl my hair with a normal curling iron it would take me over an hour mostly because I'd have to let the hair stay on it for sooooo long to hold the curl. the curlformers took me maybe half an hour to put in on my first try, big difference! I had no trouble at all with them either. Typically with curllers or hot rollers I end up having to re-wrap the hair around the roller several times because my layers come loose, ect. Not once did I have to re-try to put in a curlformer. I didn't have any issues with the hair getting tangled or anything. Not only did it take hardly any time but to avoid using any heat on my hair I put the curlformer in after showering at night and slept with them in. Since I haven't much luck with other curling methods, I was very nervous about how this was going to turn out. Honestly, sleeping with these in wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The curlformers, in my opinion where more comfortable to sleep in then typical rollers. After taking them out in the morning I was amazed, as was my roomate, at just how perfect and bouncy the curls were. I had a slight 'crimp' effect on a couple face framing/bang sections but I beleive that was my error for using large of a section. But for being a trial run I gotta say, curlformers knocked this one out of the park! I can't wait to play around more with these. Below is a picture of how well it turned out. What do you think? Stay tuned for more!
