Curlformers + soft bonnet dryer= happiness!
I gave the Curlformers another try on Friday, setting my hair under my new soft bonnet dryer attachment. Friday night I twisted my hair dry, and added flexi-rods.
And here are the results: huge and soft curls! (These photos were taken Saturday night)

Curlformers: Take II
Okay, so we gave Culrformers another try...
We set the curls using Elasta QP design foam, in big sections. And left them in all afternoon and overnight.
Ready.... Set
Go...
It looked like a new version of my mom's 1980's hairstyle. We think the sections might have been too large and didn't dry completely, and frizzed out once I hit the air.
And P gave it a different twist.
And it all turned to frizz...
We still want to give it another try, and next time we'll use smaller sections, but what about the humidity??

Ladies Choice: Curlformers
My sister and I tried Curlformers for the first time this weekend, thanks to Nikkimae2003's fabulous youtube tutorial.

We finally gave into curiosity and decided to give them a try.
Instead of the full Curlformers Starter Kit, we made our way to Sally's Beauty Supply and bought three of the individual 10-packs for $11.99 each. Also picked up the Curlformers hook for $3.49.
They're kind of tricky to get the hang of, the first time. Especially if you have thicker hair, and need to do some trial and error to figure out the best size for parts.
Initial results- lovely!
Final Look
All of this was great and exciting, until I realized that some of the curls weren't fully dry. And it was one of the most humid, sticky, hot and miserable days we've had... I tried to use hairspray to give some of the spirals a fighting chance, but to no avail. The curls turned into a huge frizzy afro, which worked for the night, but still a little disappointing that I couldn't make the cute style last more than 15 minutes. We're both giving them a try again, to see how they look for Monday morning at work!
