Hi Mahalialee. I roller set on a regular basis. I do this because curling irons have fried my hair in the past causing major damage and breakage that I could only remedy by cutting lots of hair. Granted, I wasn't using them properly. And I know that some ladies here successfully use curling and/or flat irons, but it's not for me. I think that my hair is much healthier as a result, with less breakage. Every now and then, I twist my hair into little buns for waves, but I like the controlled look that rollers provide. I also use leave-in conditioner when I roller set, which definitely helps contribute to hair health.
