Curlformers Revisited
I am SO glad that I gave my curlformers another shot.
I went to the gym yesterday, forgot that I had somewhere to go today that required that I actually look decent. So, I got up this morning wondering how the heck I was going to pull off a nice “do” when I was frizzed out to the max. I decided to give curformers another chance, but I did something different this time.
1. I did not completely wet my head.
2. I used a water bottle to spritz each section of hair a bit.
3. I sat under the dryer for 45 minutes.
Slightly dampened hair worked MUCH better than sopping wet hair for me. Wet hair is always the weakest, but since my hair is uber fine, the pulling of the hair through the roller was causing me to lose a lot of strands.
After 45 minutes I had nice curls. There were a couple of frizzy sections, but I think I found a solution for that too.
Although, my hair is fine, I have a LOT Of it per square inch. I originally purchased 7 packs of curlformers, giving me 21 orange and 21 pink. I purchased the last 2 packs of extra-long and wide from Sallys today. As Sara, from curlformers recommended, I may need additional curlers. So, I’ll try it out again and update you all. Also, got a huge chuckle out of the sales rep at Sallys. She said, “Ever since you came in asking about curlfomers, they became popular!”
I can definitely say that I saved myself a great deal of time by using the curlformers. Installation does take a little longer for me right now, as I’m still learning what method will work best for me, but I cut down 2+ hours of drying time. I set my dryer to a cool temp and was presentable in less than an hour. That’s not bad!
So…the curlfomers are going to get to stay (Sorry to all of you who were making plans for them already…lol).
