You may need to change your leave-ins though... well you can airdry your hair in 6 big braids OR dry it on low under a hooded dry. After that, you may need to slightly straighten it with a blow dryer and a comb + a bit of a creamy moisturizer. And then you are ready to use the caruso rollers. My leave-ins are Aphogee (not the Keratin), Rusk Smoother leave-in (I love this one) and Chi Silk Infusion. My moisturizser is ORS olive oil, the one in the bottle, very creamy, I love it and it smells good
