For the past three weeks I have been on a mission to find a summer hairstyle that includes loose, bouncy, healthy curls! I mean, I've been on youtube, naturally curly and google for several hours a day searching for the perfect style. I've even tried a few styles that were recommended by other naturals. After watching a video for a few hours, I would shape my hair in the mirror only to wake up dissatisfied and still searching! However, not until this weekend, when I came across @Naptural85's youtube video about curlformers did I have an epiphany!! Watch for yourself:
Did you have the same reaction...are you ready to go out and buy the curlfomers like right now?? I don't blame you, because this is exactly what happened to me Friday night after watching this video. Saturday morning I ran my errands and then ran to Sally'; yes they're only sold at Sally's! I absolutely loved the results and being complety honest, these are my staple curls for the Summer!! I loved the fact that I don't have to use any heat in order to achieve this style. The only down side, they're a bit on the pricey side! The entire kit cost me $74.00, but this included 40 long and wide and 6 short and wide culformers; granted I can't even use the short and wide because my hair is waaayyy longer than I thought. I'm also cutting it very close with the long and wide and would do much better with the extra long and wide. In due time I will add these to my collection.
For now, I am happy with the results and plan to perfect this style ASAP!

| Started on shea buttered prestretched hair. Detangled with water and used diluted lottabody for hold. |
 |
| Started by sectioning the hair: 5 sections in the back and 3 sections in the front |
 |
| Pink curlformers spiral to the right and orange curlformers spiral to the left |
 |
Notice some of my ends are sticking out!
The curlformer is made of a plastic mesh material |
 |
| Very pleased with the results |
 |
I thought I forgot to lottabody one of them, but then I didnt know which one..
There it is! |
 |
| Still tryna get past the uneveness of my hair. So, pulled it back with a headband! |
I'll be sure to post Day-3 pictures tomorrow!!

Yes! I watched that curlformers video the day Naptural posted it and I was convinced that I had to go out and buy them. Alas it wasn't much of an impulse as you've had since I'm kinda like grad-school poor right now. In any case, your curls came out pretty well. How long did it take you to do your entire head?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jhan!! i don't know if it was impulse or decision making skills that encourage me to grab and go! I also looked at a few roller set vids, but when I saw how the curlformers created perfect curls (having watched a good 20 videos!!) I thought I'd be better off with the cf!! Best Decision yet!! However, I am planning to return the kit and get the longer rollers...ust a better investment as I plan to have longer hair!! LOLOL
ReplyDeleteoooooh! I like it!! your the first one that I've seen that got the shiny kind of spirals I like when using curlformers. NOOOW I'm interested in trying them! Thanks for the post girl! your hair looks great!
ReplyDeleteI decided to try this style too once I watched her video but I'm going to wait until my sister comes to town next week to help do the back. Great post.
