Re: Yahoo! I found a way to make my roller sets last! Pics added

you hair still look gorgeous after five days. Thanks for the info

 

[envybeauty]

It looks very good five days later.

How do you rollerset? Mohawk method?

Do you have pics of the Bantu knots? I still haven't mastered that yet.

 

[BrittanyH26]

I am definitely going to try this trick!

 

[asummertyme]

Beautiful Butterfly! You need to do a full tutorial!

 

[flowinlocks]

Your hair is beautiful I will def. be trying this when I start roller setting.

 

[danigurl18]

I tried it last night but I twisted some of them in a different direction so it looked kinda silly in the back but the front came out nice

 

[Dee-Licious]

bizzump!

 

[fivetimestwo]

Wow that's really pretty! I'll have to try that the next time I rollerset.

 

[*Frisky*]

I love it!! I def will be trying this.

Yep, I use bantu knots to hold my waves in from the previous day. I've never used them for holding curly hair. I think I will try that next time.

 

[Allandra]

Bantu knots are a great way to set the hair for some nice waves / curls.

I've neeeeeeever ever seen a rollerset look this good at day 5!!! good job, woman! i'm going to try this as soon as i gt my touchup.

what color/size rollers did you use for the initial set?

you did a mohawk set?

I use the large pink goody rollers (usually the largest size you can find at Walmart). Then on the ends I used yellow rollers from Sally's. Both come with clips. I did a regular set. I tried the mohawk but I've been rolling under for so long that it feels weird.

I'm so confused. I'm on the lookout for a way to roller set so my hair does not separate at the parts - would you explain this like it's roller setting for dummies? I've been doing the mohawk thing since I was a teen - a new way to set - this is interesting info.

Yeah - this is how I preserve my sets. I wish it WAS this easy to actually do the set.

Cute!
Still looks like a rollerset---my bantu knots look dry frizzy and curl up supper tight

What do you put on your hair before doing the knot? Also, I twist and coil my hair very loosely. I think pulling the hair too tight will stretch out the curl and it will fall too much.

I am going to post some pics of the knots soon. I don't use the mohawk method. Hmm, I will post pics of my hair in rollers too. It's really random but all the rollers face down.

Absolutely beautiful! ...................and I love the color too!

Thank you! Likewise!

Beautiful Butterfly! You need to do a full tutorial!

I will definitely add pics of both the set and the knots this week!

Butterfly- your hair and nails are so pretty. I love the matching pink nails with the blouse.

 

[TaraDyan]

You tellin' me that set is 5 days old lookin' that good? Man, you have some lovely hair.

 

[MrsHouston]

Your hair is so pretty. I too have been trying to get my roller sets to last longer. I just put my hair in a loose pony/bun with satin holder and scarf...my set has been lasting 3 weeks.

Wow! Spill your secrets! oke:That's it - just a pony and scarf?

 

[PatTodd]

I want to chime in but not hijack....I have been maintaining my rollersets by putting my hair in a very high ponytail (I use one of those ball barrettes so I don't have to drag my hair through an elastic band), smoothing down the length, then using my fingers to roll the ponytail into one big, tight barrel pincurl. I pin it with two long bobby pins and cover it with a hairnet. The next day I release the ponytail holder and I have a giant spiral curl. either comb through or finger comb and the lower 2/3 of my hair is curly curly curly. I fluff the top a little bit for height but I am going to try the bantu knot method to see if I can get an overall curly look.

This was my go to method when I would straighten or set my hair when I was natural. I know this will sound gross but I would put my hair in a few huge bantu knots before going to the gym. I would leave it that way until the next morning and would just fluff. My hair looked good without any extra fuss.

Of course, I would have to wash within 3 days or so because sweat and bantu knots don't mix but it still worked for me. After a while I just dropped the rollers and started using bantu knots for the set and maintenance.
