This is what my friend does:
After rinsing out her deep conditioner, she sets her hair on the biggest rollers that her hair will hold. (She had to order a special dryer because she couldn't fit under the regular ones!) She likes to set it with Lottabody Cream Wrap or Black & Sassy Creamy Set. She sits under a medium hot dryer until hair is totally dry. About an hour. Then she takes out the rollers and wraps her hair. She leaves it wrapped for at least an hour (she says overnight is even better). Voila! Bouncy, straight, shiny hair.
I couldn’t wrap my hair or set it with rollers worth a damn, so I never figured out how to do this. No matter what, I always ended up looking like the guy on the Quaker Oats box or something from Soul Train circa 1979. Maybe my hair was too short... Hers is a little below the shoulder.
Someone at school once said my hair looked just like George Washington’s. NOT the look I was going for!
