Deep Wave "curlformers"... Hmmmm

[CurlyRy]

the ease with which i got these in is making me rethink curlformers in general. I think i just have more skill with my hair now so maybe I should revisit the extra wide extra longs.

Girl, if you give these things a good review I just might be back to buying curlformers (I know I don't need 'em)

@ShredsofDignity, do you have relaxed hair?

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

I do... I haven't relaxed it since last August though and I migggght be transitioning right now

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

I love the result. will upload pics in a few. my main concern is will the pattern stay in my hair or stretch out to a frizzy mess?

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

I used Redken Anti Snap as a leave in. I hope I won't end up with a puffball of frizz after I pull it back for a while lol.
Excuse the scary editing lol.

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

i think the waves are already loosening. I forsee a frizzy mess by tomorrow

 

[cmoniquew]

Looks nice.

If the waves are loosening you will probably need to try a styling product with hold if you didn't this time.

 

[Kurlee]

why ya'll gotta do this to me?!

the way my hair is it would just make it look dull and STILL stretch out to a hideous frizzy straight texture. I have the weirdest hair .

they're not very expensive at least!

 

[kanozas]

I've seen these and watched youtube videos even. These and the ones that look like snails/bantu knots are the most interesting shapes I wanted to try. Test it and report back with pics please

ETA: I found a youtube video of an asian girl using it

LOL. That's just a loose braid-out. Sea-salt spray by OGX can give the same results if you scrunch.



I see Black folx is moving up...jacking the texture! Remember those stretching plates? Seems they jacked that idea as well. Whatever happened to that business?

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

went out grocery shopping and so far the style has held up. but i wonder how it will look tomorrow morning. i think people like me better with waves/curls as opposed to straight hair. i think i get more attention this way
kinda makes sense since my natural self is a curly person, not a straight haired one even though i wear it straight 99% of the time.

@ShredsofDignity

I like your result! How's it looking today?

**********
Has anyone with 3b, 3c, or 4a natural hair used these yet? I wanna order, but I bought 60 curlformers a few years ago and never even used them, smh

 

[toaster]

@ShredsofDignity how many did you use? I want some!

The waves loosened and my hair frizzed a bit. I actually put some back in last night and slept with them .
My hair always loses whatever curl or wave pattern is in it. Braidouts, wash n go's... I cannot keep the curls and waves. I end up with straightish frizzy awful looking hair if i pull it back even fairly loosely. Even long before my hair was heat damaged it stretched out easily.
So that part is disappointing. Idk how to keep these waves in

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

@ShredsofDignity how many did you use? I want some!

I have two 20 packs and used around one and a half packs, maybe less.

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

i'm going to try this again later using a little gel on each section. I have no setting lotion.I'm hoping i can get more staying power that way because right now my hair is just poofy straight .
its all stretched out.

correction here @toaster. i just put them in again and i have just 7 left to spare
so basically two packs are needed and i don't have thick hair.

OAN I found the blue crimping plates

http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32477949078.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

so I didn't use setting lotion or gel but i sprayed them heavily with a soft hairspray. They still stretched way too much after being pulled back while i slept. This is basically a one day style .
I've never used setting lotion but I have a feeling my hair would hate it.

 

[blackbarbie986]

sea salt spray isn't gonna do that to my hair

yes i was wondering what happened to the CWK plates...

They've come out with a few new products. I hate that weren't able to use their double sided design. I bought an order when they first came out and still haven't used them.

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

@kodochax, you're good at searching for these things. I need help in finding the 8 or 11 inch ones on a site other than the magicleverag site. The shipping is so expensive and will take forever. I can't find them anywhere else .
I want to try using some just toward my ends to sleep in. The 20 inch ones are too long for that.

 

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

i contacted the seller to ask if he had short ones and he did an off ebay transaction which worked out fine. super fast shipping and only 7.99 for a pack of 20.

[Autumn~Tint~Of~Gold]

Using these for a third time and for some reason I ended up using all but 2 of them
weird that I had some many left over previous times...
I also used setting foam on each piece... hoping the waves will last longer

 

[blackbarbie986]

How'd they turn out?

 

[blackbarbie986]

Anyone else ever used these?

 

[Nightingale]

Anyone else ever used these?

I've used them. They were easy to install but hard to dry under a hooded dryer due to their length. The waves they made were very pretty. Unfortunately, I sweated it out before the day was over. I'm going to try them again with different products in the fall/winter.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Please someone buy them and report back. I love how easy curl formers are to do, just hate the spiral curl they give me that makes me look like I'm 5

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Anyone ever seen these before? Used them? They are not Curlformers brand but just some Chinese import stuff.

The shape is interesting, a deep wave pattern as opposed to a spiral curl
I'm very, very temped to try them. I think these would give a curl that matches my natural curl much better than the spiral curls of normal Curlformers

I'm going to try these.

I've never used regular curl formers because I don't like the spirals they produce. So I'm not sure what LENGTH of these wave formers I should purchase.

My hair is a little past shoulder length when stretched. What size of these do you think I should order? Thanks in advance!
