I finally tried those super satisfying Waveformers/Curlformers-style heatless curlers I grabbed from Shein (I’ve been dying to test them for ages), and I did it on a proper “I’m in my PJs and going nowhere” Sunday. I tested two shapes on the same head: spirals on one side and the wavy pieces on the other. I split my hair into layers for volume, figured out the little learning curve (pinching at the top helps a lot), and quickly realized section size matters—bigger sections are harder to catch and can get fiddly. It took me about 35 minutes to get everything in, and once my whole head was done it started feeling heavy. I’m a side sleeper, and yeah… I could not sleep in these, so I left them in during the day instead (aimed for around 8 hours). When I took them out, the spiral side gave me looser, more natural-looking curls that I actually really liked, but the wavy side was more disappointing and some pieces looked a bit “sad.” My takeaway: they’re not a complete fail, but for me they’re not practical—if I’m spending ages putting them in and waiting 6+ hours, I could get similar results way faster with heat tools or just stick to other heatless methods I actually can sleep in.
