I guess it comes in waves….first I wanted Big Hair and then I was in the mood for curls. People often comment that I’m always doing “something” to my hair. Well it’s kinda the truth because I get bored quite easily plus I love the versatility of having natural hair, although it does not always cooperate so I’ve learnt to just go with it.
I was very pleased with the results, although some of my ends were kinda fuzzy, but that’s because they were not wet enough. Lesson learnt. Yes, I would do this again (despite the sleeping difficulties) because they are also a great way to stretch your hair. I only kept them in for two days, but next time I’m aiming for at least a week and I’ll do it on sopping wet hair 😉
I did have time to record a tutorial, so check it above. As usual, there’s some babbling and other shenanigans 😉
Have you ever done curls on your natural hair? What did u use? Please share your experience and tips below.
Until next time
Hey Shannon, I only kept mine in for 2 days because I didn’t used something with a lot of hold nor did I do it on wet hair, so that affected the results. Next time I will try pineappling (piling the hair untop your head or doing small loose ponytails) to maintain the curls for longer AND do it on wet hair. You can try that method to see if it works for you ☺
how do u maintain the curls at night so they can last? i did the curl formers i love it i actually like it better than flexis. my curls only last a day. how can have them last more than a day?
Thanks Afithan! Girl, I was tossing and turning all night! Maybe I put too many in but it was uncomfortable, no two ways about it 🙂
oooh I like and i like the curlers. My problem with curlers though is the sleeping part! Where and how do you rest your head???!
As you can see, I tried two setting lotions for this look. Next time I’ll try something different too. Let me know how it works out for you ? 😉
i got my curl formers from Sallys.. i got the long and narrow.. my hair was dry and the ends were frizzy.. i used motions wrap lotion w/the eco styler gel.. 2nd time i used the motions wrap lotion w/the sheamoisture cream. 3rd time i used the wrap lotion w/the aloe vera gel.. i’m gonna try it again but i keep getting the same results..
Hey Allie, thanks so much. These are not “real” curlformers. I got these on ebay, they are called Magic Leverag 🙂
Hey sis. Thanks 🙂 I haven’t figured that out yet….lol. I only left them in for two days, but I know most people using a light oil like coconut or grapeseed (although they are not moisturizers) or some kinda serum for “maintenance”. Cause we know once water touches it, it’s all gone! 🙂 I guess you’ll have to make sure your hair is well conditioned and moisturized, but I’ll definitely have to look up some vids on how people maintain their “sets”. Also, if you find one, let me know 🙂
Thank you 🙂
You hair looks amazing!! I have heard so much about curlformers I think I will try them out & see how they work for me!!
okay sis, I love these. I am planning to buy some curlformers very soon. How long does this style last and how do you moisturize your hair till you wet it again?
Beautiful!
Thanks so much hon! lol…go for it 🙂
This is such a PRETTY hairstyle! I think I’m in the mood for curls now lol:o)
