I could tell your set was going to come out fanstaic based on your placement. You roll like a pro! I need to get on your level!

Thank you!!! Girl this is yeaaaars of experience. I used to do wash-n-sets in my apartment in college for all the women on my campus. I learned how to overcome challenges by doing it on other people. Plus my family (Dominican side) owned a salon when I was younger. I got a lot of practice and experience in the salon.

I did my ORS DC on Saturday morning and rollerset. It came out pretty.

DominicanBrazilian82 your rolos came out beautiful. I'm wearing my hair curly for a few days then rollerset again.

My roller set from last night...



I got tired and cheated towards the end, took the rollers out and let my hair finish drying out...



24 weeks post and not to bad, I wish I had the energy to try curlformers but I had been doing my hair ALL DAY, by the time I got to putting the rollers in I just went with what was easiest...



After I flat ironed...



This morning, after I flat ironed and wrapped for bed...

I can't wait to move back home. My stylist will be rollerwrapping this hair every ten days for sure. You all are doing great!

DominicanBrazilian82 Mjon912 and im really impressed by your magnetic sets. once day i might dust out my set and try them again. Mesh rollers are so easy for me that i havent looked back at the magnetics yet!

Kudos on your set. Good placement = great results. You set for straight styles like me. I'm loving roller-setting my hair. And you look like you are too

Any opinions on these rollers ladies:

Can you tell I won't stop til I get some mesh rollers.

 

[Napp]

Blairx0 i have these. i mainly use them for ponytail rollersets. they are easy to roll on but they are a bit hard to secure because they are kind of heavy.(for a roller) then again i have the 2 inch ones.

 

[Blairx0]

Napp how do you secure them? Do you use pins or clamps?

 

[Saludable84]

this is in my stash! after reading this i can't wait to try it out

Normally, setting foams leave a bad residue but my hair feels soft and has nice body. I definitely recommend.

for these rollers i like using the long metal duckbill clips. they are too heavy and wide for the pins i have.

 

[Mjon912]

Napp thanks...mesh rollers scare the life out of me, I got once stuck in my hair as a child and it had to be cut out...TRAUMATIC lol

DominicanBrazilian82 thanks, I love roller setting, it's a piece of cake for me while washing blow drying and flat ironing turns out horrible

How do they compare to the Annie brand if you tried them?

 

[Nyssa28]

I'm interested in trying these rollers to see if I get results similar to the flexi rods.

Nyssa28 I have these. They are similar to sponge rollers in the sense of softness. Flexi rods are firmer. I couldn't see myself setting my hair with them because they are made of fabric. I use them try re-roll my daughters' hair at night. They make a tighter curl too.

Afhrizzball the annie ones are have a harder mesh,are less flexible and are made of plastic. they are also smoother and harder to roll on . they give a nice result thoughbut they take a bit of getting used to to get the result. i get the best results with them when i use end papers.

these look cool! they look like the satin roller equivalent to flexi rods. they might be good to give your hair a curl over night but im not sure you can wet set with these.

 

[Lissa0821]

I am still doing my rollersets each week, just really lazy about taking and posting pictures.

 

[Blairx0]

Got caught in the rain yesterday and my hair reverted immediately.It is strange... I have been setting so long back-to-back I kind of forgot how to deal with my hair in its natural, unruly state. I am bunning and look forward to setting ASAP!

I ordered those mesh rolles on folica, so maybe I will use them if they get here in time for wash day

 

[Blairx0]

Napp I haven't used Annie brand, so I can't comment on that. I did have the hard plastic mesh rollers a while back and they were a no go for me. My hair did stick too them better, but when it dried you could see the pattern of the mesh because the plastic was so hard. That is when I switched over to smoother rollers that I use now.

I ordered the ones I posted upthread from Folica, so I will be reporting back. I am little nervous bout the weight and securing them, but I guess that is apart of the adventure.

Decided to stop in at the BSS near my job and look what i found:

I would use them to roll at night, after I've rollerset.

I haven't posted in awhile. I might do a set this evening with my curlformers but I really want to try a ponytail set this weekend so I'll see how I'm feeling after my protein and moisture session this evening. Either way I'll post pictures!

The rollers might not be so bad if you get smaller ones. i hope they end out well for you!

Also i see many people complaining about the mesh rollers leaving indents in the hair. I really havent noticed except when I use my large 2 inch ones. Other wise, i always end up with smooth and shiny sets that have alot of body.

i wonder if they would also bee good for maintiaing a flexi rod set....let me know how it goes

 

[GrowAHead]

Does anyone have a great way to hold onto a set (other than pin curling each curl!)

I'm relaxing this weekend after a 16 week stretch and I think I may set

Some people like to pineapple. Loosely gather all of your hair at the top of your head. Pin or use a twistie. I've done this with a flexi and it came out ok.
