sooo my mom just texted me saying she was trying out mixed chicks leave in tonight. I reminded her that it's more of a styler and she should use something lightweight underneath.

Why did she text back "does Mo use a leave in with it?"

:eek::confused::rolleyes:

She obviously wasn't paying close attention to the video. And I'm her own daughter, qualified to give hair advice. Humph.

Horsehoe flexi rod results. I used 12 purple flexi rods. The SSI Coco Cream LI is ThaBomb.com for setting, :yep: Thank you @AgeinATL for recommending this!

I have not seperated or styled the curls. I put an eturban around the edges, before throwing on a bonnet.

More questions! I've been seeing that people use magnetic roller covers with rollers that don't come with them (like the French bouffant rollers). I assume it's because you can get better tension on the roller. Is there anywhere you could buy just roller covers? I haven't been able to find 2 inch magnetic rollers online with the roller covers either..

I LOVE your set! It looks so silky and soft. I am SO glad you liked the SSI leave-in. It is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing:)

@Colocha My magnetic rollers came with the snap on caps. I purchased them from Sally's...not sure of the size but I think they are 1 3/4 inch, they are pink in color and yet the snap on covers can fit my grey 2 inch rollers though.

I have never seen the covers being sold alone but magnetic rollers that come with the snap on covers are generally cheap in price anyway, so you could always buy 1 pack to see if the covers are worth it for you.

I have set with and without the covers. I prefer to use them since they help to keep the hair from curling back up on the roller. Once we receive the French rollers, I plan to use some with my covers and some without to see the difference.
 
@Colocha ive been setting without covers lately and I can't say I see a difference in my set. When I'm setting I definitely see my hairs sticking up over the roller and sometimes I want to put the cover on to smooth those down, but after sitting under the dryer all the hair is smooth again.

I've never seen 2 inch rollers sold with caps but I do know Sally's sells roller clamps that fit over 2 inch rollers. However, I cannot fit under my Pibbs in large rollers and clamps. You'd need a massive dryer or to just air dry for that to work.
 
I washed my hair in 4 sections last night instead of the usual 8 twists and I saved a lot of time. My hair didn't tangle at all.
I got my curlformer set down to 45 minutes too. I'm so happy! Now I feel more comfortable roller setting weekly. I'll probably wear my hair up and then wear a twist out this weekend. Looking forward to an easy week of styling.

I skipped pre-poo'ing my last wash day. Simply because I ran out of "use up" conditioners and only had staples on hand. I was torn because I didnt wanna waste my good products :lachen:Instead I finger detangled with my water bottle which has a smidgen of moisturizer in it, and went right in to the wash process. It cut out at least 30 minutes from my wash day. I ain't mad at that.

Glad to be rid of another additional step in my wash day process.

Do you skip combing while washing also? (For shed hairs) I've always wanted to try this but the last time I had soooooo much tangling in the roots, I cried ...I'm afraid now LOL because I have fine strands of hair. Maybe that was the problem.

@toaster , thanks. I don't think I'll get clamps if that's the html
option. I'll looking more at taking snaps off magnetic rollers and using those.

@lulu97 , are these the roller snaps you said could fit?

They're the pink salon care rollers in 'bouffant'.

@Colocha I don't think those are the ones but I do think that's the brand. (Salon Care) I purchased these so many years ago so I really can't remember but here a few pics of my roller stash in hopes that it can help.

Original pink rollers that came with the snap on covers:

How the pink roller compare to the 2 inch grey ones..you can see that it fits inside but not by much.

how the pink (smaller) cover fits the 2 inch rollers

@MissCrawford Hey pretty Lady :hiya:

I rarely use a comb these days. I sometimes use my TEK brush midweek after finger detangling if I can't remove the hair with my fingers but it's been a few months since I've had to even do that.

I finger detangle in 3 steps on wash day.

1) I dampen my hair just a smidgen with my water bottle and finger detangle in about 9 yes 9 sections. lol (If I have properly moisturized throughout the week, I don't need to add any products as my hair will usually have enough product on it already. However the crown and middle of my hair is super tangly so I usually have to add a bit of Shea Moisture rinse out conditioner to help the tangles slide out)

Finger detangling before washing does not get all the sheds and tangles out....but my goal is to get the big ones. I always keep my scissors close by on wash day. I'd rather cut then rip.

2. I also lightly finger detangle in the shower with conditoner in.

3. As well as while I'm applying my leave in

By the time I get to the styler, my hair is tangle free, shed hairs are all gone and momma's a happy camper.

I think it helps that I only roller set so my hair is always stretched and I never lose much hair on wash day anyway because shed hairs have found their own way out of my head throughout the week.

I started practicing finger detangling on one section of my hair at a time. It took me about 6 months to fully wean myself from combs and brushes.

Thanks! I'm gonna give it another try. Unfortunately I can't find a cheapie conditioner that isn't full of cones or that doesn't give me a rash. As soon as I find one the battle is on:brucelee:
 
Yesterday I washed, conditioned and deep conditioned with the Joico Moisture Recovery line.

Used Camille Rose Moisture Milk as a leave in and Camille Rose Aloe whip as a styler.

Did a flexi rod set

20160224_162259-1.jpg

Separated this morning and put my hair up in a pony puff with faux bangs. I got 99 Bobby pin's but I couldn't find one :giggle: so I had to hold the bangs back with a head band.

Took DS to music class this morning and this is when I got home.

It rained yesterday and all of last night so there is quite a bit of moisture in the air. My hair did frizz and puff up a tiny bit but it's cool.
