Stretching with Curlformers

So I’ve had these e-bay curlformers for about a year.

I swore off curlformers because while I found them easy and even cute they NEVER lasted more than a day. I moved away from my curlfomers in favor of traditional rollersets, however I wondered back to my curlfromers recently because the stretch they provide is ideal for a blowdry free flat iron.

 

I have the extra wide curlformers I purchased from an eBay seller RelaxSacks. I went to Sally’s and bought the genuine curlformers hook for about 5 bucks because the one that came the package was crap.

I sat under the dryer with a head full of curlfromers for 45 mins and then slept.

Sleeping was easy, Removal was easy. Styling was easy.

This is my hair after removing the curlformers

 

My hair was soft and well defined. Most importantly my roots were smooth. You can even see my scalp! Prior to instilling I did a hot oil treatment with Dabur’s Vikita oil. I credit this for the smoothness of my roots.

 

I then separated the curls somewhat and styled:

I wore my hair in this style all day. Because I swore I was going to flat iron, I used no holding product. However after flat ironing half of one section and promptly gave up.

At the end of the day here is what became of the curls

They started to frizz, but I knew they wouldn’t last. Instead I decided to throw in a quick set of flat twist, so I could wear my hair down the next day.

Here are the flat twist I wore to bed and the resulting style

 

I had a nice curly bob look going with this twist and curl. I will likely bun for the rest of the week, but I am happy with my curlformer experience.

I will continue to keep them in the rotation as I look to spend less time under the dryer in the heat of the summer.

 

Komaza Care Aloe My Hair Frizz Control Serum Review

[Product Name]: Aloe My Hair Frizz Control Serum

[Product Price]: 2oz =$ 5.00  8oz=$15.00

[Product Size]: 2 oz or 8 oz

[Product Ingredients]: Aloe Vera Juice (whole leaf), Aloe Vera (inner fillet), Copolymer, Coconut Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (low molecular), Provitamin B5 (d-panthenol), Polyquaternium-10, Citric Acid, Fragrance, Gluconolactone and Sodium Benzoate (natural preservative).

[Product Directions]: Start with palm size amount (apply more if needed). Rub hands together and use fingers as a comb to smooth through hair. Style as usual.

[Product Claims]: This serum is unlike traditional anti-frizz serums. It does not contain silicone oils which can increase frizz for curly strands. The texture of the Aloe My Hair Frizz Control Serum is a little thicker to assist in curl definition

[Product Scent]: Yummy. The him counterpart loves it. I love it. My co-workers even like it. It has a flowery scent that isn’t overly sweet. The smell lingers so you can smell it for about a day or two depending on how much you use.

[Product Consistency]: This is not like a traditional serum. It isn’t clear. It isn’t sticky. It isn’t tacky. It isn’t super coating. This product is a pale orange that pours out like a leave-in conditioner. It is entirely creamy like a conditioner, but a think more runny conditioner.

[Product Realities]: YES, YES,YES.

I didn’t know it when I ordered, but I needed this product. This product smooths my hair, both wet and dry, to unite my curls into a single pattern. It tames frizz better than gels I have tried and I can use it , without flakes, on both wet and dry hair.

Dry hair:

I have used this to smooth edges when bunning with wonderful result. I can dab this on my hair and tie it down for a few minutes and have hair that is soft, frizz free and flowing in one direction all day long.Though I have  ton of gels and gentle hold products in my stash this is one of the few that leaves no build up, no cakey feeling, and most importantly no crunch. With this my hair simple feels like hair.

Wet hair:

I originally bought this to use during my rollersets hoping it would cut down on the wooly look I often get as a result of having some shorter, curly  hairs the dryer blows all about. While not a traditional serum, the product smooths my hair and make detangling a bit easier. This product does not have tons of slip, but because it allows hair to clump , it is much easier to section and subsequently detangle.

You will still need a traditional serum or something for hold when using this to rollerset, but you it will cut down on the wooly look because more of my hair was clumped together on the roller. You can also expect  more moisturized, softer hair.

[Shopping Experience]:

Fantastic! I order and then realized I didn’t put in the promo code. They allowed me to cancel my order, so I could use the code. The shipping took about 3 business days and came just as ordered, No complaints!
