Caruso Roller Users

How do you get your curls to last? What type of products should I be using, cause my curls turn into loose waves within two hours.

I dont steam for longer than 10 secs any longer will make the curls too moist and they wont last as long.

As I only use a light oil when removing rollers. My curls last a while

And sometimes I put my bonnet dryer over the rollers for like 15 mins to help the set stay

I think that may be the problem, I leave them on for more than 10 seconds. Have u ever tried using any kind of mousse or anything?

(Forgive me I tend to be wordy). If you leave them in too long your hair won't dry all the way and they won't stay. I leave mine on for like 8 sec at the most. In some areas I only leave them on for 4 sec, but I have very fine hair. I don't use the covers, and I use end papers. I use duck bill clips instead of the covers. Allow the rollers to cool completely before removing. Don't pull the rollers out- unroll them.

My caruso morning routine:
1. Rollers in. No product. Just rollers.
2. Shower cap, jump in shower.
3. Out of shower, take out rollers.
4. Wrap hair (I like mine with a "bumped" look).
5. Get dressed, unwrap hair.
6. Lightly oil spray after styling.

Sometimes if I'm waiting for someone else to take a shower I'll take them out before my shower. But I make sure they're cool first. And the hair is dry.

No that would add more moisture which would be a no-no as far as getting a good set for me if I had somewhere to be soon.

Also I go for more of a soft and bouncy set. I try to imitate gabana girls set

I don't mind!! lol. I haven't tried them without the covers yet, and I feel like I really have been leaving them on way too long. I know I leave them for at least 20 seconds. I will try the duck clips!

Her set turned out really pretty!!!! Do you all usually use the ionic steam setting or just the regular steam?

Mine is really old and has no ionic setting. I just plug it in, put a roller on, count outloud, and put it on my hair. I actually have my hair pre parted and in my left hand when I put the roller on the steamer with my right hand. Then once I count to 4 or 8 I take the warm roller right off and put it on my hair immediately.

Not everyone needs duckclips, it's just that my hair with rollers always leaves an indentation if I don't use clips.
