Cute Curlformer Hairstyles: Hair Carnival

We have used Curlformers several times and we love them! (Reflect on our original Curlformers review, D's Mothers' Day Criss Cross Headband Curlformers' Hairstyle and my short hairstyle done with Curlformers). We brought out the Curlformers twice last month for the holidays. First for Christmas photos and again for her Christmas Day style.

Curlformers on Straight Hair: Momma Style

There are plenty of hairstyles for girls on this site, but not too many hairstyles for women, so I wanted to do a style for the mom’s out there. This is a simple style I did using Curlformers. I used the short and wide curlers that came in our styling kit. I washed my hair, applied some Bee Mine Curly Butter (Bee Mine isn’t just for curly hair, it worked great on my straight hair), then I put the Curlformers in and wore them for about 3 hours until my hair had completely dried.

SheaMoisture Review

  I, of course, got these products from Walgreen's during their ‘buy one get one’ sale in March. I purchased one of the Moisture Retention Shampoo, one Hold & Shine Moisture Mist, one Curl & Style Milk, one Curl Enhancing Smoothie, and two of the Deep Treatment Masques.

Saturdays "Shappin" Hairstyle: Happy Mothers' Day Do

I've been wanting to do this style on D for a while and I just now got around to trying it. The first thing I did was wash her hair with a "new shampoo" (review coming soon!), I used our regular HEHH (on our last bottle of the old formua). I moisturized with the usual Bee Mine Dejas Hair Milk (which is almost gone, luckily there is a 15% off code floating around for Bee Mine Products!) I also use a little olive oil on her ends and scalp, they needed it. I parted out 6 small squares in front, applied Bee Mine Curly Butter and banded them into ponytails with olive oil soaked bands. 





Next I put the headband on and sectioned each ponytail into and began criss crossing them. I took a small section of hair right behind the headband to secure the criss crossed pieces to. I was happy with the way the top/front turned out, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the back...

I tried it down...



I tried it in a bun, which I liked...





But I decided I really wanted to use the Curlformers again!





And we loved it! :)






Happy Mothers' Day to all the moma's out there!!!

Curlformers Review

After much debating (in my mind), I finally purchased a Curlformers kit. I was torn between spending the money on them or getting flexi rods. My concern with the flexi rods was: would they stay in her hair? I've read that they don't stay in thin/fine hair very well. After using the Curlformers, I don't regret my decision at all. They are easy to use and produce some amazing curls! I got the kit that includes 40 long and wide, 6 short and wide and the hook. Pictured below is a long and wide curlformer and the hook.

Curlformers have an opening at each end; this is the slot for the hook to slide through.
 

Once the hook is through the Curlformer, you take your section of hair, give it a twist and put it through the hook then pull the hook out, in turn pulling the hair though the Curlformer, easy as that!

The amont of time this process takes depends on the hair length, thickness and the size of sections you place in each roller. I did about 1 inch sections, used probably half of the long and wides and it took about 30
minutes...not long!

I washed her hair and put the Curlformers in while it was still wet. I used Bee Mine Curly Butter on each section of hair. She slept in them overnight and I took them out the next morning. Here are the results:

The first stranger we saw after we stepped out of the house was complimenting her curls, asking if I did this with a curling iron! I explained to her what I used and that they are a great alternative to using heat on the hair, which means less damage!
Day 2

Day 3 

She didn't feel like taking pictures that third day, but they held up pretty well for 3 days, she slept with a satin bonnet on each night. So, it's safe to say that I love Curlformers and I can't wait to use them more in the future!
