Rollers in Public

[JeterCrazed]

What is your limit on being undone in public? With all these no heat, rollersetting challenges, there will be a time when your hair hasn't dried and you have to make a quick run or sometimes not so quick. Whatyado? What are your limits?

No no no. I can't do rollers of any kind in public. I was t target and a lady walked past me dressed like she was going to the club with two flexis in her bangs and slippers on. The worst I've done is wrap my hair in a scarf decoratively or leave it pincurled under a crochet hat with the bangs out to pretend it's a style. But no sir on the rollers. No no no!

You could not pay me to be in public with rollers. The most I may do is twist, bandu knots or a wrap under a satin scarf with a hat.

This is funny when I was a kid my mother would always eye-roll the sistas with curlers in their hair. It really got on her nerves if the rollers were different colors, and not neatly placed in. So if I want to stay in the WILL I can't wear rollers in public.

So walk with me. The rollers are in. Your hair is still wet. Do u blow it out? Let it out, pin it up, and do it over when u get back?

Rollersetting is WORK for me (at least in my relaxed days). If I just put those buggers in and have to make a quick run to the store, I'm just going to tie a scarf to cover them the best I can. Makes no difference to me who notices!

My mother would die an early, painful, bitter death....twice...
My aunt wears makeup to the mailbox and it's right at the front door.

When I was loc'd m hair took about 1.5 -2 days to fully dry depending on how I styled post wash. More if I put in perm rods. I used to do a wrap. No one knew. I did it once to work. The rollers helped to fill out my wrap. Twisting and rolling took a whole lotta work. I wasn't taking it out for no one.

 

[sweetlaughter]

The most undone I have been is in sweats shoveling snow.

LOL! As an adult I have not gone out in rollers! I live in the south and we see women of all races and ages in public with rollers. In the Mac store, at the post office, in the mall, grocery store, yea everywhere. My hubby will not go for that. I schedule my roller sets at night when stuff is closed down.

 

[napbella]

UNSAT!!! Won't do it.

 

[Napp]

i schedule my rollersets to prevent this. i hate being interupted when doing my hair

This reminds me of the episode of Everybody Hates Chris that had his ghetto-snob mother mocking a woman on the street that had curlers in her hair WHILE wearing a head full of curlers. When asked the difference between herself and the woman she scoffed, her response was, “At least I have on a scarf!”

 

[mochac2001]

I agree with some of the other ladies, I plan for this very reason.

I'll do whatever it takes to have my hair done. I've gone out in rollers, will do it again in a heart beat LMAO I am usually in my car and running a very quick errand that involves me not getting out of my car. I'm gangsta like that

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

Normally, no way would I leave the house in rollers but if they were still wet and I had to really RUN somewhere, I'd probably just run out lol. I'd pretend I was a lady back in the 1950s lol.

 

[glamazon386]

I'd never go out with rollers in my head. I'd throw on a wig before I went out looking crazy.

 

[loved]

I can't think of a situation where I would go in public with visible rollers.

However, I used to wear straw sets (about 24 plaits with straws on the end) and that style took forever to dry so I wore a pageboy cap over the set when I went out.

 

[greenandchic]

The most you'll see me in is a satin scarf tied around my hairline while going to and from the gym.

 

[Evolving78]

yes, i have went out with rollers in my hair, hair was still wet and i had to get my mani and pedi. i really don't put too much thought into how some woman feels about me.

 

[lilyofthenile]

I'd put on a beanie or a scarf.
Even now my hair is half 'undone' because I haven't finished my yarn braids yet. I just put a beanie on.

I have to admit I did this very thing this past summer.

I had just finished setting my hair in purple and grey magnetic rollers. Then realized I HAD to run to the Safeway in my neighborhood. It's about a block and half from my building. Well....I put on my hair net (the ones they use at the Dominican salon) a nice top and capris..and my hoops and rolled right into the Safeway. LOL On the walk back home I had the nerve to stop by subway to get a turkey 6 inch. LMBO At that point I was like why be hungry while trapped under my hood dryer for next 2 hours. hahaha A few older ladies..smiled at me and remarked how they used to set their hair and they may try it again. So IMO I inspired a few black women implement some healthy hair practices! lol I probably won't ever do this again...but wanted share my experience!

 

[Solitude]

When I see people with their rollers on, it doesn't bother me a bit. I remember when I lived in DC and I used to go to the Dominican salons, you would always see girls walking to McDonald's or somewhere with a head full of rollers while waiting for the dryer. I was just "too cute" for that and refused to walk down the street with the rollers in my head to put more money in my parking meter...yep, I was so cute that I ended up with a $50 ticket for an expired meter .

Needless to say, if I needed to leave the house or salon in my rollers, I would.

 

[MsDee14]

I have went out in rollers...but only when I was getting my hair done at the salon and I ran to the store real quick to grab something to eat.
In my eyes...old people (and I mean senior citizens over the age of 70) are the only ones who get a pass on that. But if I see anyone else with rollers on their head...for some reason..I don't even look twice because I have seen worse things.

 

[LittleLuxe]

To be honest I really don't care, lol.

I was always raised to believe the people you scoff at are the people who could very well trump you in life. If some chick wants to feel better about herself by smirking at my rollers I'm happy to smile pleasantly knowing I don't have to prove myself by not wearing the rollers.

I just know too many doctors who look a bit sloppy on the regular but net 6 figures and seen too many super-fly chicks who work at the post office.

 

[Darenia]

I don't care when I see others in public w/ rollers, but for me, no. It's not so much that I'm too good for rollers in public, it's more that I'm paranoid. With all these hiddin camera devices i just know Imma end up on one of those emails about how people go out looking crazy in Walmart.

 

[BrownieBrie]

I don't rollerset, but I have gone out with all types of stuff in my hair. I was just DC'in in target the other day. I always put a beret on though, so no one can thell.

 

[Janet']

If I do have to go out...I put a scarf on...

 

[BronzyBella]

I've never seen anyone in my area sporting rollers in public. I see a lot of ladies rockin' scarves and doo-rags though.

I'm not opposed to rockin' a scarf every now and then. I tie it a certain way (with a roll in the back) and usually save 'em for bad hair days in the winter (I'm all covered up anyway).

 

[Prudent1]

I guess a lot of that depends on where you live. I don't see a lot of that in my area unless it's the 70+ crew (and like someone else said, that's ok for them). I have gone out with DC, braids for twists, hair 1/2 up 1/2 down, etc but I usually have a scarf on and a hat of some sort on top of that. It would be very difficult to tell my hair was not done underneath it. I was taught not to go out in rollers unless you had a scarf on and not to go out in PJs, slippers, etc period. To each her own, I would only do that in an emergency b/c that's what I want to do.
