Curlformers Heatless Hair Curlers - Deluxe Barrel Curl Range for Extra Long Hair up to 24" - 16 No Heat Barrels & Styling Hook for Healthy, Damage-Free Curls

I just got these on Saturday (it's Monday now). I ordered 2 of the 16 packs (Barrel curls for 24" hair) since I have longer hair. Within half an hour I had all of my hair in 16 curlers! 😆 That's a win for me since I'm pretty much inept with other curlers or curling irons! 🙈 I did prefer having two sets (32 curlers) over just one set (16 curlers) for several reasons: ease of application, drying time. However, 16 curlers are waay easier to keep out of your face than 32! ...but that's not the point of curling your hair, is it! 😉So here's some tips that I'll suggest since there seems to be some disagreement on how easy/difficult they are to put in:1) Read the instructions! ...and then do EVERY step. Here's why...2) When choosing a portion of you hair for a single curler, keep it in a small area of scalp. It stays on the hook better with smaller sections of hair and dries faster. So, as much as possible, select a square/circle of hair and leave any distantly growing strands for a different curler!!3) Comb each strand. Because you don't want tangles or kinky curls.4) Twist all the strands together close to the roots! This is VERY critical especially if you're having tangling issues. ALL the strands need to be inside the pull hook to avoid tangling. Give it a couple of tight twists to be sure you've got them all.5) Keep the hook facing up and pull like you're casting a fishing pole. Or like you're using one of those tennis ball launchers for dogs...same idea. Just better than pulling it straight through. This just helps keep the hair on the hook once you've got it all on there. Also key for avoiding tangling!6) Once you've hooked your hair, hold the end of the curler close to your scalp and PULL STEADILY. Don't stop. If you do stop, you risk backing some of the hair off the hook, and then tangling.7) If it tangles, STOP PULLING. Hold the pulling stick still and with your other hand pull the fat end of the curler towards your head, up over the end of the hook (gathered on your hair) so you can manually unhook your hair. If you can pull the tangled part of your hair straight, comb it out and grasp either end of the curler, pulling it to its full length and let it curl up your hair. Otherwise, just re-do the whole thing.That's all of my suggestions for now. I'll update later when I've had more chances to really work with these.But remember, I'm pretty terrible at doing my own hair. I have 3 default hair settings: bun, braid, or down (forget flat ironing or curling irons!). If you're having some trouble, try re-reading the instructions, and try again...slowly. You'll get the hang of it!

I just used these curformers today. I have hair that is in the range 3c/4a. Very kinky at the roots and it gets wavy at the ends, it is quite long, just below shoulder length, and I just have a lot of hair. Based on the recommendations it said that you needed at least 40 to cover a whole head. I purchased 4 boxes (64 total) to cover my whole head. And yes I needed all 64. Once you get the hang of it they are really easy to use, and you don't necessarily need to be looking in the mirror to put them in, but it does help you plan the layout of where they go. I decided not to sleep in them, waaayyy too many to sleep in and I just used the my soft hood bonnet to dry them in sections. 64 curformers did not fit in my dryer bonnet. If the makers of these curformers say that their soft hood dryer bonnet does fit 64 curformers I would like to see this item for myself, or it would be nice if they considered making a soft hood dryer bonnet that big. I do suggest to those that may have said your hair comes out when they remove them to make sure you untwist the former and pinch open the end closest to your head before sliding them off, it will release the constriction the curler is placing on your hair. Either way the end product was beautiful. My family loved it. Make sure you place them as close as possible to your roots if you have kinky hair/roots to give your hair a consistent look all over. Definitely highly recommend this product for indirect heat or no heat styling!One last thing, the hooks that come with the curlformers are quite solid. It would be nice if they were easier to pull back apart. They do need to be solid but i had to use a towel to add more grip to my hands to pull them apart.

I bought these after a little disaster with the curling iron and my daughters hair. I don't want to use heat on such delicate hair. They will have time to damage it on their own they don't need me to do it at a young age. So I used these on both my girls, and while they stated it was uncomfortable to sleep in they were pleased with the results in the morning. I did not add product to their hair prior to putting these in so the curls where gone by 4pm with their fine hair.Last night I used it on my own hair and it was quick and easy. With this barrel kit I can get a lot of hair into one form. My girls were right, sleeping in them suck. Definitely something I wont do again. Instead I am more likely to use these during the day and buy an attachment for my blow dryer so I can dry my hair quickly while wearing these.Overall happy I got them for the few times I will use them. Very glad it came with 2 hooks, as I broke 1 last night since they are a bit difficult to take apart for storage (or that is just me)

Not as easy as it looks. At least for me and my clumsy fingers. Hard to set right at scalp. I suppose my hair is too thin to hold them well. I feel like I need to grab a lot more hair and yet there isn't much that'll reach that one area. Would love to try it on my daughters who all have thick, lush hair still. Will probably donate mine to someone with thicker hair to use. I did try it on my 3 year old granddaughter and it worked well enough. She was moving all over the place so it wasn't really "properly" done, but they also stayed put until we removed them and she never complained about having them in her hair, no pain. The curls were cute....sloppy and bent at top and bottom where hair goes in and out, but otherwise worked great. I think if she sat still and we could have faced them all the right way and put them in tight at the scalp it may have worked perfectly.
