I just did a rollerset and it came out...

[Natural_Girl]

Fabulous!Fabulous!Fabulous!

It reminds me of when my hair was relaxed and I used to roller set my hair then.
Didn't think I would be able to get it to look this good with my natural hair!

Many thanks to LHCF tips - I think it was CaramelHonee who recommend combing up instead of down - thanks.

Thanks to Skegeesmb for the roller tips - I actually used a combination of the magnetic rollers (grey and black ones - need to upgrade to a larger size 'cause the hair is growin' so fast!!:O)) and the green ones with the snaps - they usually leave an imprint but not this time.

I used Aveda Elixir combined with LottaBody creme wrap - the BOMB - I think CaramelHonee recommended the LottaBody as well - thanks! One caution - you only need a dab of the creme wrap. Hopefully, by tomorrow am, my hair would have drank much of it up:O)
When I first took out the rollers, I thought "oh, no it didn't come out good at all".
Then I just used my fingers and the moment I touched it - it felt great - then my hair just maneuvered just the way I wanted it - GREAT!
And guess what - the only heat used was sitting under the dryer - no flat iron, no curling iron!
This is a definite to be added to my "feelin' sexy/femine" looks.
I can't stop grinnin'!

Thanks to everyone for your tips and inspirations!

Congratulations, Natural Girl.

I can't wait until my hair is long enough for me to roller set.

You didn't take pics, did you? I'd love to see how it turned out.

 

[Natural_Girl]

I did but not to post online as yet...still trying to figure out the 'how to' and create a progress album at the same time.

by the way, this morning it came out flat but it still had curl and was soft to the touch...I was able to use my fingers and add some shape and voila - looking good again...this is defintely a winner for me

Ok, I'll be waiting to see pics.

BTW, did you blow out your hair, or just do the rollerset?

I'm glad it came out so well. Doesn't it feel good when u try something new and it actually comes out right!
BTW, i don't know who recommended that lottabody creme wrap (probably PrettyBrownEyes) but i'm gonna have to go shopping

I like the ready to use lottabody, i've never seen the creme wrap. Is it light?

Congratulations girl. I'll be on the look out on some progress pictures!
