I just did an AMAAAAAZING ROLLERSET!!!

[KinksnCurlz]

I am soooo serious. My usual rollersets have me acting a fool, cursing myself, my hair and those darn rollers but this time, i went in with a plan. I did the usual part in the middle and comb down 2 my ears and place 3 rollers (purple) on each side thingee. But here's where the problem always arose, I'd try to mimic my Dominican sisters and always wound up getting upset with myself. SOOO, i did my own thing. I made 4 rows going straight back. I placed about 4 rollers (3 gray, 1 purple) on each row. The rollers were finally tight - YES!!!!. I also combed my hair upwards instead of back so that probably contributed to the tightness of the set. I am so proud of myself, you ladies just don't know. Now, it doesn't matter that it took me 45 minutes to do this rollerset

-i kid u not- all that matters is that my hair turned out G-R-E-A-T!

 

[BrEE]

umm, it'd be easier to picture it if you had pics. i'm kinda confused how you did it.

 

[lilchanel]

I am so happy for you! I still have not come close to mastering the rollerset. I did one about 2 weeks ago and it turned out like crap!! I was almost in tears!! It's very discouraging but I'm so glad it turned out well for you!!

What setting lotion did you use?

 

[dstdiva]

congratulations! i'm still struggling with my rollersets. i agree, post some pics! what do you put on your hair before you roll it?

 

[sillygurl18]

Yes can you post pictures the next time you do it. I need some serious help.

Im so happy for you as well!!!!! YAY!!!!

 

[rayne]

Congratulations!! I'd be glad when I can master it

 

[KinksnCurlz]

DAMN!!! i knew u guys were going to ask me to post pics

I always say I am going to but I never do. Heck, i got my hair weaved a month ago and never posted a pic of that even tho i said i was

But okay, the next time i will try and post the pic. It's just kind of hard b/c i don't know how to get the pic off my camera

I used, for the first time, the keracare setting lotion but a very little bit, keracare leave in (creamy), a little of the keracare oil rich blow dry lotion and just for my ends a tiny dab of the keracare silken seal. As you can see, I LOVE ME SOME KERACARE!!!

Bree - do you go to the dominicans to get your hair done. Ever watch them do your rollerset? Well, they star off by parting your hair in the middle (b/t eyebrows) from the front to about an inch before your crown. Then they part your hair in a "T" formation starting where you left off (1" from crown) down to your right ear and than on the other side to your left. Damn, now i realize how confusing this sounds. Give me a few secs and i'll post a picture that i am drawing... DON'T LAUGH AT IT EITHER

Here ya go

 

[BrEE]

Dude.

You have gone ABOVE and BEYOND!

Did you ever in your life girls? How COMMITTED are we to one another!

 

[KinksnCurlz]

You're welcome

. And remember to comb the section you are going to put the roller in UPWARDS and roll it while the hair is still UPWARDS, that will ensure a 'tighter' set. Good Luck!

That is so cute Caramel Honee.

Thanks for posting,I am going to try rolling my hair in the front like you so wonderfully drew on the diagram. By the way, I tried wrapping my hair like you described in another thread awhile ago and had good results.

Thanks again.

You are so funneee

But hey, i was rushing when i drew it b/c i didn't want anybody to come over to me and be like WTF???

I'm glad the wrapping thing worked out for you. I kinda like it myself and it's so simple, I only use like 6 pins as opposed to my usual 50... LOL

You go girl. It's always great news when we can get a good roller set going on.

 

[Angelicus]

Oh my goodness I cant believe you actually made a diagram.

BTW that is pretty much how i do my rollersets.

 

[BrEE]

i found the instructions on wrapping caramel honee gave.

First make sure you have either large hair clips or long bobby pins.
1) Comb the hair straight down from crown to tip (think cousin it).
2) Part hair in the back (from crown to neck)
3) If you are right handed, comb the hair -where the part begins- to the right of your head. Insodoing, place a finger at your crown (this keeps the "hole" at your crown).
4) Take a pin (or clip - pins are easier for me) and place it above your ear, tip facing up.
5) Take the next pin and put it at the crown - tip down (where your finger was resting).
6) Continue to comb hair around your head adding pins every now and again... first at the bottom - tip up... than at the crown - tip down.
7) Continue until your entire head is complete.
8) Depending on how long your hair is, you will more than likely have to remove some of the 1, 2, 3... pins as you comb your hair around and replace them.

*Try to alternate the direction of your wrap every week or so. This will help you avoid the "thinning" of your hair overtime.*
**DO NOT PLACE ANY PINS ALONG YOUR HAIR LINE - THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR HAIRLINE TO THIN OUT. You can place 1 pin in the middle of your forehead only**

nope, that's not it. It was the one where you part your hair down the center and starting from the back right you wrap it around and then once you get to the front you wrap that around towards the back. Anyway it made a perfect swirled wrap. I didn't think it would but, it did and the front was fine in the morning. I liked parting it down the middle as if I was making 2 pig tails instead of starting at a side part.
