Curlformers Make Dreams Of Gorgeous Curls Come True
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010I remember the first time I ever heard about Curlformers. I was sitting in Celeb Hairstylist Robert Hallowell’s LA kitchen in May of 2009.
I was at Robert’s kitchen table drinking tea and he was sprawled out on the floor rooting through his massive refrigerator. Robert’s precocious cat, Handsome, was prowling the space between Robert and where I sat at his table. While I peppered him with my normal 1001 hair questions he would answer, stopping periodically to bark “no shopping” at Handsome as the adorable cat launched a sneak attack on some of the food temporarily displaced from the refrigerator.

Curlformers Not Curlfarmers
Robert and I were discussing how to achieve gorgeous curls on wavy tresses. With his head partially buried inside the bowels of the refrigerator he barked “Curlformers”. I thought I had misheard him to say Curlfarmers. A bit of hilarious repartee ensued until Robert had convinced me that Curlformers were these revolutionary patented curling tools that he absolutely adored and not curls harvested from a farm somewhere in England.
He explained how to use the new curling tool but I couldn’t picture how it worked in my head. Jumping up he ran off into his home salon and came striding out with a few of the Curlformers in his hand. He gave me a quick demonstration of how you use the hook to pull the hair through the Curlformer and how it naturally springs into place. Impressive. (more…)
