DIY relaxed heads.........in here please

For those of you who self-relax, how do you style your hair? Do you rollerset immediately after or do you blow dry and flat iron? Back when I used to self-relax, I would let my hair airdry overnight and flat iron the next day. But since I've been contemplating on getting a relaxer again, I'm just wondering how you all style your hair afterwards.

I just learned how to rollerset, so I immediately rollerset after I self-relax. This has only happened once and the results were pretty good. Although, I believe no matter what style you do after a relaxer always comes out nice, because the hair is so manipulative at that immediate state.

I have sought out rollersetting twice in a 7 day period, and I hope to wreep the benefits of it soon.

after i self relax, i'll blow dry my hair on low (and i do small sections, so i'm not ripping through my hair or anything), and dry-set my hair on flexi-rods, using a tiny bit of leave-in conditioner. if i feel like sitting under the dryer, i'll do that for 20 minutes; else, i'll leave the rollers in for about an hour, take them out, and i have bouncy, fluffy curls.

here's how i set my flexi rods in:

if I keep relaxing ...I've decided that the first week I'm just gonna bun it b/c I wanna do reneutralizing, DCing, clarifying/protein treatments to make sure my hair has recovered from the relaxing process.

Then that next week I will rollerset (as always). I might try that flexi rod rollerset thing sometime over the next month, that looks like a good idea.

Oh, I like that! I'm going to remember that when my hair is long enough to rollerset.

Pookie, the flexirods look great!! That's a neat idea. The reason I asked the question is because I'm a bit rollerset challenged, and I would love to get the benefits of a rollerset right after a relaxer, but am scared that it won't turn out right because I don't quite know how to do it yet.

before i found LHCF i would just blowdry and flat iron. now i think i will try rollersetting so i wont have to use so much heat

 

[tiffers]

It depends on my mood, sometimes I'm tired/lazy and throw my hair back in a bun or pin it back in a twist to airdry. If I'm semi-tired, I'll do a braid/twist out or cheat set and either airdry or dry under the dryer. If I'm in a good mood and the kids are sleep, I'll rollerset
