Sorry not having reacted earlier. Unfortunately I read the thread "MacherieHair - Since when did those rollers become French?!" only when it was already closed.
I do not want to hurt those who expressed a different opinion, but a few comments were unfair to Macherie. I exchanged messages with her several years ago, I do not have any interest in her business, but she always provided wise advice and she does not force anybody to be member on her site (and I am not) nor to purchase in her e Store. Her rollersetting technique is excellent and the result is outstanding - I mean her hair is beautiful. I do not doubt that other members may achieve same results, but she displayed her technique and provided good quality pictures. Also she is very committed to hair care, to her own hair and I am really appreciative of what she does.
Also the rollers she uses are really French built. I agree this is not space-oriented technique, however these rollers are much stronger and easy to use than the standard mesh rollers you find in the US shops. I have helped several members of the forum to purchase them from french shops at a time where they were not selling over the Internet. I know that all my friends in LHCF were very happy with the product, several asked me two times for the service ! These rollers were manufactured and widely used at the end of the 60s and at that time lot of French woman with long hair -which was fashion then - were rollersetting with those rollers. The hair salons were all fitted with a full row of large hairdryers. And on Saturdays, girls in their 15 to 18 were displaying big rollerset in the street and in the shops. Today such technique is now limited to some ethnic salons, however the rollers are still on sale in the haircare suplliers, so I imagine there is still a market.
You may know that I am personnaly an experienced rollersetter, but these "blue mesh" rollers remain my favorites, no doubt.
I hope it clarifies
Compared to the magnetic rollers do u find that your hair is moisturized after a rollerset using these rollers? I've read a few threads where people said there hair was more dry using mesh rollers. Also does the mesh coating snag or pull your hair at all?
