CurlFormers on my Natural Hair

 
 
 
I took the plunge! and decided to try CurlFormers on my natural hair. I did not use the original $70 curlformers, but tried a knockoff version called Vakind Hair Curler. These were only $16 and I was sold on the price and on Naptural85 review. Click here to buy them if you want to try.
 
For a first time user, I enjoyed my experience. Took me about 1 and a half hours to install. I had to be really careful not to rip my hair in the hooks. After I got a hang of it, I was able to do it with ease.
 


After installing all these 40 "curlformers", it was time to sleep.. or try to sleep. It was one of the most uncomfortable sleep ever. Not going to do that again.



The results was okay.. but Practice makes Perfect.

 
Watch the video below for my full experience
 
Since I filmed this video, I have tried it with heat and the results was even much better. I used the same product as I did when I tried without heat. I also sat under the hood dryer for 50 mins. My back row did not completely dry!! Argh!

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
