Actually, I have not roller set my hair for several months. In fact, I have returned to a method of styling my hair that was used by the stylist when I lived in Augusta, Georgia. She would apply setting lotion to my hair, comb it through, and then sit me under the hood dryer. When my hair was, say, about 90% dry, the stylist would finish me with a blow dryer, and then bump my ends with a marcel iron.
My hair was long, strong and healthy.
I found that I actually lost far more hair wet roller setting than when I hood dry, blow dry and flat iron.
I do,however, alternate wrapping and roller setting my hair for bed.

It seems different people's hair respond to different ways of styling the hair.
My hair has flourished by rollersetting my hair. My hair is so moisturized, long and healthy due to rollersetting ( and all the maintenance/prodcuts that I use!)
I have tried different measures in the past to style my hair. I went through the blowdry/curl phase. My hair was dry and took forever to grow. When it was long and I blew dry/curled it got progressively shorter because everytime I went to the stylist for a trim she had no choice but to cut off 3-4 inches!!! Knowing what I know now about SHS she may have just cut that much because she has sissor happy!
Ive also tried the partially dry hair under the dryer and blowdry curl and my hair was still dry looking
About two years ago I tried the wet wrap/ceramic flat iron method. this was a little better for me, but my mother would always say "Chaya your hair looks dry!" However, my hair was a little more healthier using this technique.
Then about 1.5 years ago I started the wet/bun look. My hair HATED this!!!!
My ends became dry and well it just didnt work out!
About 8 months ago I started strickly wet rollersetting my hair. At first before I could perfect the technique, I had to use the flat iron on the top of my head where my roots were still curly. Now that I have perfected it, I dont anymore!! My hair grows a mile a minute, I have no split ends and I can retain my length.
