Curlformers hair success pics! :)

The user's first post from 28 July 2010, and their only post up to until May 2011 when they returned to post about ... Curlformers. The YouTube upload linked to was posted on 11 July, pretty fast work for Lilyrose to be spreading the word within a couple of weeks. NikkiMae says she was given the Curlformers free, so it would make sense a company representative knows about the positive review quickly.

Hi Ladies, this is my first post on this forum and I thought I would start on this thread because of Curlformers!!
Yep! I've bought them, tried them and love them!!- I got the Extra Long and wide and they give a great result on my fine, wavy/fuzzy hair. I also got the extra wide ones because I wanted to get bigger curls and I agree with Countryhopper, they work really well further down the hair. They are quite pricey but on the other hand i've used them so many times since i got them and I can't see myself throwing them away so I'd say its a long term investment
- and to answer about the ebayers- I wouldn't go near those ones!! I read a post on another forum where Curlformers/Hair Flair wrote about them and its scary!! - they're counterfeits, illegal, and there is no guarantee on the length and width you get because the frauds cut them at any length but don't tell you that so you don't know what you're buying
anyway- I got them from the official website, theres the full range and the product description so no guessing.
So anyway hope this helps?! has anybody else tried'em and loved'em?? BTW have you seen this great vlog about them?

okay, okay, I know i'm just too into them, but when you find a hair accessory that just works....!!

Hello ladies! - just to add to the mix that I love Curlformers too! - you can definitely double them up on a section of hair and you can also slide them down the section of hair to the tip and you'll get that flat on top- curly on bottom look which looks gorgeous! - However I emailed them about the 'other ones' on sale on ebay and the company informed me that these are counterfeits and are currently pursuing them by the law because they are being sold illegally. Basically, if we buy them under any other name or from an unofficial outlet (you can get them them from the Curlformers website or Sallys), then they are poor quality counterfeits which break and customers have no guarantee, AND they are illegally coming into the country and i really don't want to give my good money to that!!- enough of the heavy stuff!- get them on the website or Sallys- they way cover the cost of going to a salon and getting your hair done, because you can use them over and over!!- I've had mine for over a year. have fun!

Reported to the mods, sorry but there are two different versions of events here. I don't see anywhere on Curlformers website that the product is US made; also seems a complex product to counterfeit unlike the Goody spin pins, for example. Personally I wouldn't give my money to a company that posts on a forum disingenuously.

Paypal and eBay protect from a product being not as described (e.g. wrong lengths) for a period of six weeks after purchase. In the UK we are protected by the Sale of Goods Act (item must be fit for purpose, reasonable quality) and Distance Selling Regulations (returnable for any reason). The seller I saw was based in the UK, and the listing was in decent English.

Linky to Curlformers alternative Magic Leverag on Amazon, including reviews. Two people seem to have been short-changed, not sure why they gave a negative instead of contacting Amazon's awesome customer service. There are also a number of YouTube reviews of Magic Leverag.

Linky to branded Curlformers on Amazon, including very positive reviews. A spare hook can be purchased separately if you need one for the knock-offs. Linky to Curlformers official statement on NaturallyCurly.com regarding Magic Leverag specifically.

The ones I saw on eBay are not branded in this manner, they are listed under Curlformers (all one word) and are being sent from within the US. There are also Magic Leverag branded ones coming straight out of Hong Kong listed as Curl Formers (with the space). These from Italy seem slightly different again ....

The curlformers website had a very good point about cost though. When it comes down to it, price from curler to curler works out very similar. If they're the original creator of them, I think I'll stick to the main maker. Non-counterfeit items tend to be of a higher quality!

I don't think lilyrose79's posts meant any harm to be honest.. Sounds more like a satisfied customer happy with a product! It's possible she's read forums, AND e-mailed them. A fan of the product would potentially google them and find other forums with information. It's a bit odd in the sense that it was in 2 seperate posts from the 2 different sources, but I doubt it's the company endorsing their products. There are better ways to advertise than going on a specialised forum (specialising in a certain topic) whereas they could just advertise and reach millions. A company would never describe their own product as 'quite pricey' too. Bad marketing. Seems like someone who just loves their curlformers to me!

I posted the links for branded Curlformers so everyone could decide for themselves as you have. I see other discrepancies/ minor flags in the earlier posts but there is no need to dissect it line by line, simply to make the mods and LHCers aware of the main issue. Personally I don't think the Magic Leverage work out to be great value for anyone with medium or longer hair, since the sizes are fixed. That is not the same with all the knock-off versions.

Thank you for all the URLs and information! It's perfect because it easily allowed me to look up the information! Thanks!

I used the long and wide, and the long and narrow. I enjoy them, they're very easy to use. My only complaint is that when I took my stick out of the box and tried to put it together, it broke.

I'm curious how this works. Does your hair need to be damp before you put the curlers in?

Wow! Great picture! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry to hear that the stick broke.

How many days did your curls last?

[MomOf2Gremlins]

Absolutely georgeous all of these curls!

My hair is probably still too short for using them (don't really want a big head full of chin length ringlets *lol*), but I'll certainly put those on my Amazon wish list for later!

[longblondetan]

I brushed my own curls out two days in, but after I brushed them, my hair was still wavy and curly. And yes you typically put them in wet. They're a spiral mesh tube, you pull wet hair through with a long stick and your hair dries in a spiral shape.
