Hey, how are you once again Nay007 /images/graemlins/smile.gif?
I hope the site was very helpful.
Usually upon roller setting my hair, I like for my hair to be dripping wet, without towel drying it. It helps a great deal combing through, especially after you spray in your leave in conditioner. I prefer Arosci, it has oil in it and it works wonders detangling "my" hair.
What I like to do is, part the hair in three sections, from hairline to the back. On the sides, I like to comb these sections straight down and begin roller setting the middle part. When roller setting, I use only a fine tooth comb. This really helps smooth out the hair.
I make perhaps a 2" horizontal part, comb the hair straight up while keeping the hair semi-taught. The first front roller, I prefer to roll it forward as if I have a bang, even though I do not. Combing the hair straight up and rolling straight down enables the roller to roll closer to the roots. Now as far as the rest of the hair down the middle part, continue to make about 2" horizontal parts and roll that hair back, but remember, when sectioning off, you're going to always comb the hair straight up. If using the gray (Anne) rollers, you should have about 8 rollers.
Now its time for the sides. From the part at the middle of your head, you want to make a part from there down to your ear. Now if you're on the right side of your head you want to start rolling the hair that's closet to the rollers at an angle (think at 4'oclock). In this section, you should have no more than 3 rollers, 4 at tops. Comb hair straight up and roll down the hair.
Now, its time for the hair closet to the hair line. This section should take 2 rollers, 3 at most. Once again, comb hair straight up and roll down. Repeat this process on the left side.
I like to secure all my rollers with the metal clips. I generally place the clips at the base of the roller and I do not clip rollers together ONLY unless they're really loose lets say near the nape of your neck or ear.
I find using a minimal amount of rollers allows my hair to come out VERY BOUNCY and shiny. You're leave in conditioner is also a major factor in this as well.
The way to tell if you've used too much leave in conditioner or have a drying leave in conditioner is, once you feel your hair on the roller, the hair feels a little crispy as if you have to break it up. A moisturizing conditioner when you touch your hair on the roller, it should nearly fall the roller when dry. It should never feel crunchy. When this occurs, I notice the need for a moisturizer during the week is minimal.
*ALWAYS use your hood dryer on a cool-warm setting, never hot as you might as well use a blow-dryer in my opinion.
GOOD LUCK
