- **3/12/19 UPDATE!** A few of you guys have mentioned in the comments that since I purchased back in February, there are now sellers offering longer lengths of the wave formers.
*Here's one seller - shopstyle.it/l/1DI8
And, you can check the comments for more suggestions, too.
*Either way, I’d still recommend that you get a quality hook for #waveformers and/or #curlformers installations. I like the “super long” ones the best - shopstyle.it/l/0GPu

A middle part with this style is very fitting. Your hair looks so soft & girly. Looks really pretty on you.
It may take longer, but I think I saw someone twist or braid their roots to keep them stretched. And another girl just used small perm rods at the end to get a different type of looked, it surprisingly turned out good though!
I've done rods on the ends when I had this issue with Curlformers, but I was afraid it would look too bizarre with a non-Curlformer, haha. I'ma keep playing with them.
Kadijah Nicole did the rods on the ends and the result was way cute!
I thought a braid or a rod would help. Now, I Know to try this. My hair is at boob-length, so we'll see
Finally, someone with 4C hair! I have 4a hair but my sister is 4C and I've been wanting to try these on her.
Red lippie looks good on you. Your hair looks good. I want to try these.
Good Job girl, I want to try these as well
I know you mentioned being more interested in stretch over style; however, they do quite flatter you.
When you said my ends were looking like TWAs.... I hollered!! Thanks for the in-depth review.
😅
Hahahahahahaha me too!
I was the one who asked!!!Go me.
Ha, thanks for planting the seed!
Yes!!! Thanks ✌🏾❤️✌🏾
You would be perfect on QVC selling these... or any other product. So detailed and informative and you could go on and on forever. Sincerely mean that in the best way. Your hair looks great.
Sorry can I just say, I REALLY appreciate how direct you are.
There are sellers on Aliexpress and Ebay that have lengths up to 65 cm/25.6 in. Search some form of "water ripple curlers" or "water wave curlers"
www.ebay.com/itm/Water-Wave-Magic-Curlers-Formers-Leverage-Spiral-Hairdressing-Tool-25-65cm-12pcs/303076108315?pageci=1352d08f-e769-4a9e-a43d-633b9684c15e
Your welcome
@@gemini7 Yep! I was going to post this link too. I found it a couple of weeks ago from commenters who posted replies from one of the other videos about waveformers. When she said it only comes in one length which was 50cm, I said, "Obviously she didn't see the last couple of videos who actually had shorter lengths." That's when I saw the range from 25cm-65cm. Thanks for sharing the link!
I ordered some of these from AliExpress (my first time ording from AliExpress, so I was a little scared, but took the leap). My hair isn't think enough for me to do the Curlformer look, so I thought these "waveformers" would work better for me. We'll see.
Straightformers!! Yes, we need it.
There's actually a girl on youtube who boiled her regular curlformers then put them on a flat surface and put a heavy book on top
cewlio do you have a link? I can't find the video 😕
@@nd7289 czcams.com/video/yLwbDaSoJsw/video.html
I was hoping you'd try these out!!! My CZcams feed is full of all these colorful noddle-headed women and I was like "WHERE 👏🏿IS👏🏿 TI👏🏿?!"
*I gotchu!*
Same!!! I was waiting!!!!!
Okay, but why was I so impressed when your twirled that stick in your fingers? I legit had to rewind so I could see it again. 🤣😂
lol not only did I immediately hit the rewind, i then instantly flew threw the comments to see if anyone else was as shook as I. 😆
Cammy M. Saaaame. 😂🤣 For a second I thought maybe the wine I was sipping was stronger than I thought! Sis has skills!
Lol I thought "Guess Ti was a drum major, too!" 😉
Right? Totally reminded me of my marching band, colorguard days
Random thought: Not even all the way through the video but I swear I watched you twirl that hook like 3x cuz it was so smooth 😂
Ha, I took baton twirling as a little girl. Guess I still have some skillz. 😊
Lmaoooo! I was scrolling to see if anyone else noticed that. 🤣😂🤣
I was literally like she over there like she used to be a baton twirler! 😂
It's not fair how smooth that was😭
GIIIRLL
I don’t mind long form videos in general because as a news junkie, that’s a pretty common video format 😅. But I especially appreciate yours because everything you say is important need-to-know info lol. I was curious about these wave formers too but I hadn’t seen any 4c-esque textured people try them out. Thanks for taking one for the team!
Happy to help!
I always feel like I'm watching the news CNN of hair, food,makeup etc..... Facts
kawan clinton straight facts!
I can’t believe I just sat here and watch this whole video I have no intention on purchasing this product but your voice is so soothing 😂😂😂
I agree. She has a great voice.
I think the results were SUPER cute! I really appreciate how thorough you are - every time I have a question you end up answering it in the next breath. I’ve been put off getting curlformers mainly because I don’t have a dryer but I think I might have to invest in these.
As always thank you for the content you put out. Some people don’t have scruples and are rude but we appreciate you Ti!
Thank you! You can get away with air drying if you install earrrrrrly in the morning. Just pick a day when you don't have anywhere to be, so you don't have to worry about going out looking crazy with them in your hair. That way, you don't have to sleep on the curl/waveformers. I used to do this before I got my dog (have to leave the house every single day *at some point* to walk her!). Let me know if you decide to try them!
Before next use maybe take a nail file or buffer to the snagging parts and see if it helps. Thats what I used to do with my combs before I invested in a seamless one.
Great idea!!! Thanks
I am so happy you gave these a try because I came across a random video with waveformers and had some Q(s) that needed some A(s). This style looks really good on you either condensed or fluffed out. I'm happy this worked well on your hair texture and the stretch is on point. As a side note that twirl with that hook was really slick 😏.
That lip color looks 🔥 on you!! 😍 I’m actually really liking the middle part.
OMG, thank you!!! I previously placed my order for waveformers and I can't wait to finally used them! I do like the way they look on you ✌🏾😁✌🏾
Wow it turned out great and you look stunning!! Will def try these. Thorough as usual! Will get the curlformer hook and these waveformers - can't wait
You look fantastic with the middle part, girl. Thanks for your very thorough review.
You’re always so refreshingly calm and simple unlike like so many other natural hair CZcamsrs. That’s why I always come back to you, year after year - no *attention seeking obnoxious preview of most dramatic part of the video* “WHAT’S GOOD IT’S YA GUUURL KIESHA *SMACKS LIPS AND FLEXES HAND* FIRST YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, HIT THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON AND NOTIFICATION BELL, JOIN THE FAM ‘CAUSE WE LIT OR WHATEVAH!!! *sticks out togue*”
Nuh-uh😷, just straight to the point, and strikingly intelligent. Your PERSONALITY is enough. We need more women like you in this community. Stay fucking amazing.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! Your mini description actually made my blood curdle (just a little), because I know *exactly* what you're talking about. To be honest, it just never occurs to me to play the YT game and ham it up like that, because it's just not who I am. I'll sacrifice the big numbers, if it means being true to myself. Thanks for the support. 💜
Great video! I just ordered 4 packs of the longer ones you suggested, super excited for them to come😄🙏🏽
I appreciate how thorough you are!
Girl, frizzy or not your hair looks great from the wave formers! And keep on making it happen in March!
I like the frizz, personally. It gives my hair more bawdy. 😜
I only have 2A/2B hair, but I feel like I learn way more on 4C hair videos. Straight hair girls don't care about protecting their strands at ALL and I'm not about that life.
Happy to have you here, either way.
I love love how it came out! You look beautiful with a center part..I would not have noticed the difference in length. I'm concerned about the snagging because my hair is a tighter coil than yours. I love this look and want to try it, thanks for the great review!!!
Pretty!! Thanks, Guinea😉 I’m sold. I may consider getting some.and like you this is the first I’ve ever heard or seen of these.
I ordered 4 packs of the 50cm wavefirmers last month. Still waiting for them. Then last week went to check on shipment and saw that they had 65cm in stock so I ordered 4 packs of those. Can't wait to get the first order so I can try them on my 12 year old daughter hair. She's excited also. She like the stretched wavy look. Thanks for the tip about washing them before use. I didn't think to do that. Btw, the style looks really pretty on you.
Omg your result is gorgeous!!!
Thanks for the review! Your hair looks pretty good with a middle part! And it didn't draw attention to the length disparity. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. Lol.
I've been waiting for this video 😍
Luv the way u explained everything, I like the style on u too. U would make a beautiful pin up model especially with the red lips. Next time try a heavier foam if there is such a thing. Good luck
I think your hair looks super-cute!
Sisssss!! I LOVE this look on you.. I like the center part too. I would have never known one side is longer. It's really not noticeable, even when you bring attention to it. Loving the makeup too. The colors are gorgeous on you! The subtle eyes and bold lip.. love it, love it, love it!
These were just delivered to me yesterday. I'll be trying them today on my daughter. Thank you so much for the review!!
Just installed them. Like yours, they were way too short!! I finger coiled the ends. We'll see how turns out! Lol! Shout out to whomever provided the link for the longer ones. I already ordered 5 packs of the longest length. Thanks again!
Very cute! Including the middle part.
No gurl no sweat, you look fabulous. I really like this look on you. :)
I always said I'll buy Curl formers when they make a straight one. They lunched. I made my second eBay purchase ever for these. I purchased 65 cm which converts to 25 in or so.
They have straight ones?
Wait they have a straight one?!
Can you please drop the link?
Theres has been for a while its called sss hair plates or something go to cwkgirls.com
@@sorayacher183 I have known about them for a while and they are never in stock. Also, they are not the same look as the formers. They are clamps over the hair that leave ridges and you have to continue to style afterwards. I still have them on my radar but again, rarely in stock.
Your hair looks great, as usual, and love the red lippie on you. Also, on the long pieces try curling the ends with flexi rods being perm rods may get tangled in your hair. The different sizes of the flexi rods would still match the loose wave.
Your hair looks amazing!!
Good look! What about twisting/braiding down a few inches from your roots and then installing, so that all of your hair gets some stretching but your ends are waved?
youre so funny!! this was so entertaining and informing. im gonna tryna these now
You're hair turned out great...now I want these curlers.
Love the final look 💕💕
I'm so happy I found you channel. Great review. Subscribed.
Welcome to the fam!
You look good with the middle part 😍
Wave formers?! Never heard of these but I like them. Your results are soo pretty 😍
The style looks awesome on you and love the lipstick.
I actually think you look great with a middle part! I too bought these for the protect your ends challenge. I tried to do a roller set but wasn’t happy with how my “ruts” looked. Mine should arrive soon, excited to try them.😊
Them ruts always try to play me! 😩 But, I've definitely had more success with Curlformers (and these), compared to traditional roller sets.
I think you look great with a middle part 💕
I'm not someone who curses but as an actress, in the past, I've needed to find out how I would for tv and film and girl you do it the best. You make me laugh. I love the way you annunciate your words.:)
I love that middle-part on you 😍.. and honestly I didn't even notice any lopsided-ness until you pointed it out. Even still, it's not obvious girlie. That side is growing out fast, especially considering it was completely shaved! Anyways, nice video, as I always appreciate your profound ability to articulate your thoughts😘
❤Peace&Love❤
Thank you -- peace and love to you, too!
Beautiful on you and I like the center part.
Your hair came out so cute!!! Living in humid ass Florida, I can’t see myself going out like that. Try perm rods at the end
Thanks. I considered that (it's what I do with Curlformers, which you can see in my older Curlformers videos); but, since these are waves and not curls, I figured that would look insane, and I decided against it.
Excellent review. Thank you!
Maybe you could've done larger sections & plaited from roots down about 2 inches & then added the waveformers. That way you'd have stretched roots & ends. Braid outs already give a wavy texture. Just a thought.
Interesting idea... I'll have to ponder this!
It looks really cute😍
Slay Ti! Looks great.
Great video!!! They do come in 65cm now! I also did see someone twist/ braid their hair at the root to make sure that the curler reaches the ends. I do like the set on you!!!
Thanks, and yes, I already updated in the description box. Really excited to see that they now have longer lengths!
Thanks for the review, I was hoping you would review these as soon as I heard about them. Have you ever tried SSS hair stretching tools by CWK Girls?
No, but I do remember when those were having a moment on YT, a few years back. Similarly, I remember those not being long enough (and really expensive, if I recall correctly), so I never bothered.
Thank you for the tip!👑💙
Gurl! I struggled with these. They pulled my hair out. I posted the video on my channel. They should definitely be used with caution!
Love the look!
Loooove this video! Your hair type, face and voice remind me of myself lol and I hope I get similar results too
Just curious, it being a year out now would you still recommend these? Do you even still use them? Should I just go and buy Curl Formers?
Thank you for doing this for us!!!!
The style is CUTE! I bought curl formers ... 11 ir 12 years ago? I'm not sure how long they've been around, but I bought them when my hair was relaxed, and I went back to natural in 2008 or 2009. Anyway, I only used them once because I didn't like the Shirley Temple curl. So I'm glad to see these waveformers, and I'm going to try them. In April. 😄
Thanks for the review!
Haha, I'm so glad I was able to place my order *before* the lock. Keep me posted on when you get 'em next month!
The tip of placing them in warm, soapy water before use is GREAT! You are absolutely right regarding the possibility of contaminates. TFS
Edit: I found much longer lengths from a seller on EBay. It said 2 months for shipping, but it only took 3 weeks.
Yes -- my awesome YT fam let me know a couple days ago that there are more lengths available now (there weren't, back in Feb), so I already updated the description box for everyone. So happy to be able to get some that'll be long enough!
nappyheadedjojoba I should check the description box of every video before I watch. Another great tip. Thanks
BTW- the middle part with the red lippie looks so sophisticated. I really like the entire look.
They actually do come in a longer length. I'm waiting for mine to come. The longest length I've seen so far are 65cm on Ebay. Just search for magic curlers 65 cm and it'll pop up
Yes, I already updated in the description box! Looks like the Waveformers biz is booming, since I made my purchase.
@@nappyheadedjojoba yes it definitely is! I'm seeing more videos on them too!! I can't wait for mine to get here. I initially ordered the 50 cm ones but I recently ordered the longer ones to mix them up and to also make sure I have enough for a whole head. I really enjoyed your video about these.
Hair looking fly!
Very good video! I don’t like products that cause breakage so I don’t think I will be purchasing this product. THX for the info and I really did like the wave look on you!👍🏽
I LOVE this look on you!! I was so excited when the vid started like OOOP! Is that Ti's real hair lookin fuckin fab-u-lous?! Very nostalgic thinking about curl former installs. The loc life has got me spoilt 🤣
😅 #loclife Thanks, babe! When I was editing this video, I was looking at my lil frizzy waves, and I was like "Dawwww, I miss her [meaning my own hair]!" After this Protect Ya Ends challenge, I really do need to let her out to play more often.
nappyheadedjojoba yasss play in those tresses! And hair pronoun solidarity lol I call my hair "her" too (that, and "Poofy")
Very helpful!
Have you tried using ribbons for a good heat less stretch? Thats what i do (I do it in a way thats similar to threading leaving no gaps) my hair is also 4c.
I plan to soon! Picked some up from the craft store, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet.
I love your hair with these, Ti! xox T
Thank you! I'm surprised that I like it, too! All I wanted was some stretch, so the fact that I like the look is a nice bonus.
It’s super cute! I’m still waiting on mine to come in the mail. Do you think you’ll buy the longer ones?
Definitely!
I really loved the results. Can you tell me where can I purchase that portable dryer you used in this video? Thank you and continue this videos, i live them all.
As always, links to everything I mentioned are in the description box.
Do you have the best review of the wave formers... thanks Jeeya
How long did the waves last?
The finished look was cute and, to me, worked for your look. The final curlformers look doesn't suit me either, but if they refine these waveformers in the future I'd definitely check them out.
There is a company called CWK girls that sells what they call hair stretching plates or something like that. I feel like the stretch might not be as thorough as some other methods but it might be worth investigating. c: Awesome vid as usual btw!
Thanks! Yes, those plate things were having a moment yeaaaaars ago on YT. Never bothered because my hair was too long for them, and they were also hella expensive. *le sigh*
Amber T I went to their site not to long ago & everything was sold as. Almost like the company is one defunct 🥺
I never heard of waveformers. Interesting. I may try it now that I cut off a few inches of dead ends.
Well the middle part likes you! You look good gurl!
Haha, thanks!
Paused the video to look up oil pulling......Interesting. Might give it a try.
Maybe it's because you fluffed out, but I was expecting more definition from the waveformers. I guess it depends on the products you use. It's still cute, it just wouldn't last for the week.
I didn't fluff the length, just the roots, so the lack of definition is 1.) characteristic of my hair, 2.) partially due to humidity and 3.) partially due to the fact that I don't use gel(s). As I said in the video, I don't care about the style, per se -- just the stretch, so I don't mind.
I have tried both and I found that the waveformers give more of a softer hold, they're more flexible and not as stiff as curlformers, so the style doesn't last as long. I like that they provide more stretch, but it's probably better to use a product that has more hold to it, like a gel or something. I have 4C hair and it came out really fluffy.
What a great review. I liked it and was gonna try it until you said it snags the hair. What a shame. I love banding. Have you tried banding with ouchless bands? If so how did you like it? Excuse me if I'm late and you have already shared that in previous videos. I'm just a fellow CZcamsr and subscriber stopping by and checking this video out :). Also how about using two waveformers on each section when your hair is longer until they come up with longer ones?
Well. God bless sis loved the video and review! Thanks
You hair does look cute💕
I'm really enjoying your video so far (7:04 ) but some of the links in the description aren't directing properly: can you repost the links please? Thanks
Yassss... I have to hurry as buy b4 my ladies purchase them all😭
There are tonnnnnns of sellers -- you'll be okay. I've linked a couple in the description box.
Sometimes my dryer shuts off from the heat generated in the soft bonnet. If this happens to you, how do you avoid it?
Doesn't happen to me!
Fantastic review. I LOVE your thoroughness. I know you removed by squeezing the top but I was wondering if you tried removing by squeezing BOTH the top and bottom of the waveformer. I'm wondering if folding the end under and Bobby pinning or a perm rod on the end would work. It may add a lot of time to the install therefore making it not worth it. I appreciate that you went all out and took one for the team by sleeping in them. Thank you for the sacrifice and and all the hard work you put into this video.
Thanks you! I have tried the double pinch, haha, but I can't seem to get a good handle to remove the Curlformer/Waveformer, when doing so. I just fumble them in my fingers and can't get traction. I considered rodding the ends (it's what I do with Curlformers, which you can see in my older Curlformers videos); but, since these are waves and not curls, I figured that would look insane, and I decided against it. Bobby pinning the ends might not be a bad idea, though!
Hair very cute. Like the red lips
Nice! I could never have the patience to do that; I barely can get through shampooin my hair!😞
It's definitely not for everyone!
I have no intention of wearing these but I watched nonetheless. Once my hair grows out though I might consider based on your review.
Girl, I think it was me who suggested waveforms. Your hair looks beautiful.
It was actually another internet cousin (she "stood up" in the comments already 😅), but thank you!
@@nappyheadedjojoba
Thanks
Wow this is a must looks to cute!
I really like the result! I'm surprised!
