I just saw the piggy backing rollersetting technique on you tube. Does anyone do this? What is the overall outcome?
 
I hope you get some replies because I don't really get it. It looks a little complicated so I'm wondering if the results are worth it. :wink2:
 
I haven't seen the video, but when I did hair we used this method when the hair was long and didn't want too much around the rod/roller. Half way down we put another roller, but rolled in the opposite direction...so in effect one section of hair had two. Is that what your talking about?

in the video i saw each section of hair ended up with 3 rollers. i was like, oh i'll def have to give that a try... when i have 7 hours to spare!! :nono:
 
Yeah, I guess I should have clarified and said more than one roller/rod. Most people took two, but there were a few that took three and even fewer that took four!
 
I really want to see what the final outcome of piggyback rollersetting is. It seems interesting.

Thanks for the replies ladies. Pixel Lady, in this case, the roller formed a pyramid close to the scalp with three rollers. I am however curious to know the technique you were referring to. When you say you use multiple rollers, are you starting to roll from the bottom up or from the top down. If so, does this give you the spiral look that I see a lot of ladies wearing. Not shirley temple type spirals, but more spaced out thinner spirals. I would like to know this technique as well. I hope I'm being clear. :perplexed

Start near the scalp...like the lady in the video. The longer the hair the more rollers/rods you use. This can create deep waves, depending on the size of the roller used. If you wind the hair around each piggy back then you get spirally waves...KWIM??

Okay thanks. I read somewhere that if you twist the section of hair prior to rolling on a flexi-rod type roller starting from the bottom and going towards the scalp, this will create more defined spirals. Have you tried this technique as well?

BTW, what does KWIM mean?

PL, what do you mean by wind the hair around each piggy back?? That's confusing me.


ANd OOOOOOOOOOOOH how I'd love for you to do a video :grin:

and can you explain about twisting the hair before rolling also please?? Would that work on magnetic rollers alos?
 
yeah, it was thread about this several months ago but most of the ladies agreed that it was too complicated/too much work to try. everybody was waiting from others to do 1st to see it!:lachen:
 
This is something I would pay somebody to do. I have too much hair to even attempt this...I would be nutz, not to mention bone tired :rofl:


Seems like too much trouble for that look....IDK :scratchch:
 
Come on, somebody be a sport and try this technique and post pics *cough* macherieamour*cough*.

I have to get the regular roller set down first. If I tried the piggyback technique, I'd be sweating, arms hurting, cussing in my head, and throwing my comb, rollers, and clips across the room in a temper tantrum... but that's just me!:drunk:

I know! No way...I'm just getting the hang of regular rollersetting and FINALLY got it down to around 30 minutes with my last rollerset...lol.
