Thanks. I actually loosely twisted and then pin curled. I want lots of body! I won't be wrapping until later, but there will be pics to come!

So here is the hair after roller take down and flat iron
Hubby took off 2 inches for me, I know I need to cut more but I'm learning from my previous transition not to cut prematurely
Put up in a bun, don't want hair snagged in my wool coat or in my scarf.

In hair purgatory
here is a pic of my recent rollerset. I used its a 10+ keratin leave in and Dominican magic smoothing leave in. my set got really smooth and i didnt really need to use heat even at 9 months post. i still flat ironed the roots at 300 and pressed my edges to give it a finished look
i used the red plastic mesh rollers with pins and traditionally set.
the set was so smooth and shiny. the only thing i didnt like was that it had no hold. some of my curls fell by the end of the day.(it still looked full and bouncy though)

Just a tip for ladies who have trouble getting the sides and back dry even after a long sit under the dryer because the air just won't get into those regions. Apart from throwing a large towel over the dryer itself and letting it hang on all sides to keep the air in, I've found that using mesh rollers in all the hard to dry areas will help tremendously and you'll have no wet spots. I use a combo of the french mesh and some junky mesh from sally's and they both dry beautifully in those areas in the back and down low where the dryer heat has trouble getting to. I use magnetic everywhere else.

My new time for getting the rollers in is about 45 minutes which feels like forever but is way better than the over an hour it used to take. I hope to get it down to half an hour if I dare ask for such a thing lol.
Macherie's ( healthy texture's dvd) dvd helped me soooo much, just simple things that I was too dumb to realize lol.

Had a lil difficulty this morning with my rollers... But my set came out wonderfully. I prefer my hair rollerset over flat-ironing. Flat ironed last week and my hair was dull lackluster.

My set yesterday did not come out the way I wanted. My hair just looked...off. I think it might be time for a trim. On a positive note, I have gotten much faster. I can get rollers in the mohawk pattern in 15 minutes now.

Girl you and I both. Takes me 10-15 minutes to roll my whole head. But I've been roller-setting my hair and others since I was a teen. My family owned a salon

Same here, I've been roller setting since I was 16, not knowing anything about healthy hair but it was always at it's best health....

For all my ladies who love a
rollerset! I know I do! One of the major components that gives my hair that bounce and softness is a ceramide-rich regiment. I have been using ceramide oils now since summer, and have unknowingly used ceramide-rich products forever! You can read more about the benefits of ceramides in the 2013 Ceramide Challenge thread. Feel free the lurk, join and become apart of the community! No end date to start and you probably have a lot of ceramide-rich products in your stash! FYI... I use a lot of Sunflower and Grapeseed Oils to prepoo and seal... and my hair has never been so soft and bouncy in my life!

I did my rollerset in 25 minutes! Go me! I once did it in 19 minutes and that was a fluke. I am so proud of myself.
YAY! I hope it's contagious ;-).

Dancin' on sunshine!
I hope so too!
And this is with one roller committing suicide. Right as I did my last roller, one duckbill just popped out and the roller fell on the floor. I might have been done to 23 minutes if not for the act of violence.

LOL! My last session, I literally bowed my head in defeat and cried like a baby. It was awful and miraculously the set came out half decent. I decided to not give up and continue towards my mastery in rollersetting.

So I figured out why my hair is not holding a curl and why shedding like nobodies business, I don't do protein treatments...
I started doing hair my self and I wanna go back to Salon I have lost so much hair... Ug, not totally bummed as it is just hair but I am vexed that My hair is shedding and not retaining length, so much

Girl! I learned this the hard way. I make sure to Aphogee 2-Min every other week now. I'm currently trying Joico Intense Hydrator to see how my hair does with that, as my 2-Min is all done. The weeks that I add protein to my hair, my roller-sets are so much stronger and fuller.
