Here are some pictures from my second attempt at Curlformers.
The last time, I used Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue and the style only lasted a day before they got fuzzy. Click here to read the post from my first attempt. This time, I used Jane Carter Solution Condition & Sculpt and the style lasted for about a week.
I used triangle parts because they hang better that way.
Curlformers are color-coded so that the curls curve to the right or the left. Last time I alternated directions so that every other curl on the row went a different way. This time, I split my head vertically down the middle and had all the curls on either side go toward my face (Green on my right, blue on my left). I hope that makes sense! I like the direction on the curls better that way.
The only thing I didn't like was that I coiled the roots too much. The Curlformer directions tell you to coil the root of the section before applying Curlformer, but I think I got a little carried away. The next time, I tried to twirl the strand just a couple of times. Oh, one other thing I don't really like is that they are not very easy to sleep in because they are kind of tight.
Overall, I like the look of Curlformers. Stay tuned for Part 3!

Nice! Do you separate the curls or do you wear it out like this?
I like the look alot. Like Bids, do you separate the curls?
Love, MumDebbie
No, I've been too chicken to try to separate the curls. Maybe I'll try it the next time. Do you think I should?
Yes, you should try it! It will probably look really cute.
Very cute. I would love to see what the curls look like seperated.
Your hair looks great! You should definitely separate the curls. When I use curlformers, I separate the curls once the hair style starts getting old.

Don't coil...directions say to twist....I have found twisting ONCE is enough to fit the hair into the hook. Get it close to the scalp but leave yourself a slight gap so there is no pull at the scalp. I usually slide to the point of the hook touching my scalp...let go of the hair and hold it by the end of the curlformer before pulling the hook thru. If its tight...loosen it by straitening the coil and slip gently. Then sleep in a bonnet or scarf...lightly tied.
That will make it easier...I can't even feel them this way.
Also...even though you got coil happy...it looks awesome. Loke shiny locks...if you hadn't mentioned that that was unintentional....never would have known. Sometimes the best hair comes from the occasional oops.
