Can't actually remember right now... I'll probably be experimenting tomorrow so I'll let you know. I'll also measure them so you'll know if the Curlformers are longer
Love the curls! For the curlformers it looks really good to put mousse or hairspray them before you put them in because it makes them look stiff and perfect. I hated how mine looked at first but you just have to play around with them. Also separating them and then twirling them around your finger while separating them helps too.
^^^^ I did these curls with a curling wand!! And I loved it!!!!!
^^^and that with curlformers!! I thought it looked ugly!!!
(Her hair was partially pulled up which is why the top looks weird because her pony tail was hanging down in front of her face) but I dislike the curls!
That is exactly what we do - once the curlformers are taken out, we separate each curl carefully into two or three smaller curls. It adds volume and the curls come out beautiful. I'm hearing though that the coach at our gym likes wand curls better than curlformer ones, so I'm a little nervous since I have no clue how to use the wand and envision burning off body parts when attempting to do so.
I burnt my eye this weekend curling my hair with the wand and I have no clue how. I always manage to burn some part of myself every time I curl my hair
Mine are 17" when they're straightened, but I think the curlformers extra long are like 22" when straight. In the longest part of my hair there's about 5" at the bottom if I put the curlformers right at the top, but about half of that are the really thin ends, so I'm sure you'd be fine!
This is just perfection... Just wanted to ask though, how do you do the poof with curlformers? Do you put all the hair in curlformers then do the poof afterwards (straighteners?) or do you seperate out the section you're going to poof before you put the curlformers in? Thanks!
These curls are with curlformers. Her hair not curled is down to the bottom of her ribs.
She pulls up her hair half up and leaves her bump section out. I curl form everything minus the bump section. I use dry hair - coated in gel. She goes under a bonnet dryer for about 20 min to dry the gel. After the curls are done she does her bump and the just wraps the uncurled ends around her half up pony section and secures with bobby pins underneath where her bow goes.
Genius!
Ooh, that sounds good. I live in London so I should be able to find one somewhere! What sort of gel do use? When I was shopping I remembered (I think it was you) posting in another thread about using gel for curlformers and there were roughly 56,384 different sorts... Also, does the gel make the curlformers really dirty- can you just stick them in water to rinse them?
