soooo yesterday marked 2yrs since my last relaxer :grin:

i had my mom set it on mesh rollers (i mixed water, lottabody, aloe vera juice, sheamoisture moisture mist, infusium 23 & gvp silk remedy as a setting lotion) & then i set under the dryer for a couple hrs & hit the roots w/ my flatiron...i was gonna do a silk wrap, but i decided i'll just let the curls fall on their own since they already started to drop...i didnt do an official length check pic but im grazing APL...i probably wouldve been there by now if it wasnt for the 2-3 inches i trimmed off this year :rolleyes:









this is the 1st time i've rollerset my natural hair and i like how it came out, so i'll probably experiment with this more often this winter now that my hair is gaining a little length.


my hair last week:

:look:



as far as a regimen goes im so hair lazy these days so i keep it super simple... i usually wash with shampoo & DC once a week, wear a wash & go for a couple of days then do buns and pony puffs for the rest of the week with an occasional twistout or braidout...im pretty faithful to creme of nature argan oil shampoo, aloe vera juice & coconut oil...conditioners i dont really care as long as the ingredients arent horrible...i do like tressemme naturals for daily conditioning/cowashing or a leave in & aubrey organics gpb and honeysuckle rose conditioners for DCing...i took nioxin and msm on and off this yr, but im never consistent when it comes to following a vitamin reggie.

Your rollerset came out lovely! I can seriously see you becoming one of the most enviable heads around here if you keep up the good work!
 
Amazing! So much body and shine... Didn't you dye your hair though a while back? I took a semi-break from LHCF so pardon my lack of being updated.
 
You have the most beautiful curl pattern. Your curls are so smooth and cute lil ringlets. I'm sure people want to play in your hair :lachen:
Congrats on the anniversary.
 
Your hair is beautiful. How long will your curls last? I'm natural also and my goal is to be able to do a nice rollerset.
 
I love a natural rollerset! Mom did a great job OP! Do let us know how the curls held up through "life"...i'm so rough and active(SWEATY!!) rollersets are a special occasion, less than 24hr style for me!
 
Iri it's so pretty! I remember when you and I BC'd around the same time over on CN!! That rollerset looks great! I've been scared to try one on my natural hair because I sucked at them when I was relaxed lol But your hair has grown so beautifully.

idk they started to fall within hrs of taking the rollers out, but it was night time so i slept in flexirods and it looked like this this morning:



and they havent really fallen yet even after separating them and running my fingers thru it...i think flexirods keep the curl really well...i'll probably alternate with flexirods and my version of pincurls to maintain it until i wash again

thanks! i remember that too...your hair has grown beautifully too! i cant do a wet rollerset by myself to save my life, but flexirods on already straight/stretched hair are pretty easy to use
 
Well since only your last two pica showed up on my phone, ill just say you have some pretty eyes.

excuse my typos i hate it as much as you.
 
iri9109 Your hair is so gorgeous. I also love how the flexi rod set turned out. I can't wait for my hair to get to this length. When you first went natural wha was your regi and how did you wear your hair?

thanks! when i first went natural my regi was pretty much the same, except i cowashed a lot more often and did wash & goes basically everyday...i also experimented with more products back then but i dont have time/patience for all of that anymore lol
