Pro-Curler

[Jenniferose7]

It's a very cool gadget. I got mine from KittyT and I can't wait til I have time to sit down and actually play around with it. It seems easy enough to use too.

i have 4 or 5 of those. i have directions that i can scan and post up in here tomorrow. the thing is, my hair is too uneven to look nice and neat. it's suppose to work to make you look like you have shirley temple curls (but closer to the scalp). I don't understand how it got mistaken for a pin curler because it's not a pin curler. I mean you COULD use it to curl up the hair and then take the bobby pin out after awhile and you'd have perfect curls

I'm going to stay on the lookout for one of these, sounds like an interesting way to form neat little pincurls (once they are flattened out and pinned properly). Oh the joy of ebay, I just found 5 listed!

I just got one of these and to my surprise it is VERY handy! I wonder if there is a way you can use and end paper to keep the ends in line. I still have trouble with mine popping out and causing frizz :eusa_doh:

 

[Smuterella]

Ooh, I want one of these!

 

[Miss 1929]

Like hot cakes!

I sold two (turned out I had three) on Etsy on a matter of days.
You can use endpapers, in fact, I think it's a lot easier if you do.

I'll die to have one of this !

I think I bought yours Miss 1929, hehehe.

Hey, it would be a cool if we could post pics of what the curls look like using this! I am gonna try and take some pics of mine, so we can see the difference between a traditional pincurls and this tool. I think it make more like a barrel curl.

You gals are a bad influence on me, I just bought one for $10 with shipping on ebay.

 

[bunny chan]

I found one for 39$...do you think it's too much?

$39 is definitely too much. You can find them for less pretty easily.

Mine just arrived along with some metal rollers and a "Hold Bob" which looks like a great little pin curling device. I'm going to play around with them this evening.

hurrah!

 

[Smuterella]

Well, I can see how the procurler works but I can't seem to s;ide my hair off it, it curls too tightly...

 

[Miss 1929]

Maybe hold it not so tensely away from the head?

 

[Smuterella]

I keep trying but my hair just wants to stay on the darn curler.

I'll practice again tonight.

 

[Miss 1929]

And try not winding so tightly. I also find that once it is wound, opening and closing the clip a little a few times sort of loosens the innermost part of the curl.

 

[bunny chan]

I finally have one paid 9 dollars (shipping costs included)! It's so tiny!!!
Now I'm just waiting to use it, one of this days!

[Miss Jess]

Yes yes, I want to see pictures ladies!

updates on the pro-curler?

Hey guys,

I know this a pretty old thread to be reviving, but I was interested to know how everyone's experiments turned out?

I was thinking of getting one, but I am still confused as to whether this thing actually does pin curls, or just a curly type hair style. It seemed there was some indecision about what it does...

Plus, how does the pin fasten to your head? If you want to do flat pin curls, will you basically have to pin them yourself after using the curler to wind the hair for you?

p.s - you guys are a bad influence on me....already! I can tell I will be spending a lot of money here lol

My bleached, dead hair took over an hour and half under the dryer!

Super healthy hair, thick, yet sparse hair can take just as long to dry even under a helmet when rolled up. The result is lovely.
