I wanted curl formers but couldn't afford the ££ so instead I got these bargain Magic Leverag

[StellaAndFries]

These. I got 36 rollers for £5.98 posted!! Much cheaper than curl formers and imo just as good, they have gone in easily and I'm very pleased with them. If you have longer hair you'd have to start the curl half way down the hair as they aren't as long as curl formers but for the money I think they are a bargain.

Nice find! I want curl formers too but they are £45.

How do they work

Are they modern version of ragging your hair?

What? And before and after pic please? This seems ridic....

That's a good find!

The wonder is though how Curl Formers can possibly justify £45

yes exactly how rags work, think I'll get some for the dds, they have naturally wavey/curling hair will work so well. I just look like a explosion in a mattress factory!

I'm a bit as to how they work do you just roll your hair around them? They would be great for DD's hair.

google curl formers and watch the video, basically a little tool that pulls the hair through the middle of the curler and then it springs back up into a curl until the hair is dry then take curler off.

damn you mumsnet, more stuff bought!

Yes the instructions were somewhat rubbish so I just followed a you tube video and they were easy to put in. I'm probably going to do dd1's hair tomorrow so can take photos then, I was looking particularly rough today

I hated the look of curl formers, i can't see why anyone would want their hair to look like that? .

Well I'm going for victory rolls at the front and big loose curls in the back section.

Victory rolls?

Victory rolls.
