Curlformers Set
Curlformers have been touted by many as a great tool for all hair textures, whether pin straight, relaxed, natural or transitioning.
Once you have worn the style to death, a curlformers* set can be used as the base to other stretched hairstyles. You can moisturize and gently comb the curls through to wear a blow out look or even just braid or twist your hair in sections for an ultra stretched braid/ twist out.
No doubt, curlformers* are an excellent addition to any natural’s hair tool arsenal. For maximum curl, apply to freshly washed wet hair and detangle each section thoroughly before applying the curlformer*.
1. Apply light curl cream or setting lotion.
2. Starting at the nape, section off 1 inch of hair.
3. Use provided hook to pull hair through roller.
4. Repeat until all hair is set.
5. Dry hair completely.
6. Remove rollers by squeezing the top of the Curlformer* to release the curls.
7. Spray oil or oil sheen to give your hair shine without disturbing the curls.
8. Style as desired.
