My Experience with Curlformers


I bought these Curlformer knockoffs online almost two years ago when I was high on my product junkism. Unfortunately, they'd been lying around unopened and I had to make up my mind either to give them a try or give them away.





Freshly washed, deep-conditioned and detangled hair




Used all 36 rollers (each pack has 18 pieces in two sizes, long and short)



which were not enough to cover my whole head, so I had to flat-twist the back



went under my beloved portable dryer. At least I had some time to catch up on my crotchet blanket :)


removed the rollers, unravelled the curls and kept twirling into smaller curls



I LOVE the results! Can you tell? I didn't know how to style it, so I just pinned up some hair to the side





Below is the full video tutorial.

What's your Face Shape?






Its human nature to judge people by their appearance, but we need to appreciate that we are all uniquely made and each one of us has distinct features that bring out our distinct beauty. Sadly, as we know, many of us are not content with our body features. Some feel insecure about the size and shape of their foreheads (very common among us Africans), noses or ears.







Once while going through You-tube video tutorials, I almost fell off my seat with laughter when I came across a video explaining how to use a 'Lip Suction Plumpe'r! At first, I thought it was some sort of a big joke, until I realised that there were even more tutorials on 'lip plumping' and those using it were quite serious about it,  and even admitted to having hurt their lips as newbies, but excited to have finally gotten the gist of using the 'plumps' to achieve their fullest set of lips. (This taught me not to take my full African lips for granted 👄).





So what does one's facial structure have to do with hair?








For one, it's an important factor to consider when choosing a specific hairstyle, haircut or protective style.

Before spending a good amount of your precious time and money on a new hairstyle, haircut, weave or wig, think about this; will the hairstyle flatter or enhance my facial structure? Will it add more years to my face or make me look much younger? (hopefully).









Once you have an idea as to what structure of face you have, you will find it easier to choose the right makeup and hairdo that suits you and makes you feel comfortable.


Below are a few facial shapes and a chart that may act as a guide.
