Has anyone tried this product?? I'm thinking about getting it from my local sallys! Looks kind of complicated..  :-? but I love, love, LOVE the results in the gallery.  :)

Very interesting way to have spiral curls!  I've never seen this before.  I'd love to hear from someone who has used it.  I'd be concerned about pulling the hair thru and does the "former" have good slick surface so the hair can slide on it easily.

That looks interesting. Please tell if you get them and they work, I could tell some of my straight haired friends about them.

hmm.. I think I might give in and go get them. I just hope I can get the hang of it..   :o the website claims the overall prep time is shorter than rollers. I'll let you know how it goes once I get them!  :)

***UPDATE!***

So here is the product update I promised:)

I bought the salon pack from Sally's which included over 50 curl formers of differents sizes. I used the smaller ones on top and the longer ones at the bottom of my hair, near the neck. It was actually surprisingly easy to use CurlFormers, and the curls set beautifully. My only complaint is my hair felt a little flat.. I would suppose this could be remedied by using smaller strands of hair per curl-former. (My strands were kind of thick ... I was rushing  ;D )

Overall: Easy to use & tames frizz, but some additional styling is neaded after the curl-formers are removed.
(Though, I do think that with time, I can learn how to style curls better with curl-formers.)

The rod thing is very light weight plastic.
