Maintaining a Rollerset

[PrettyBrownEyes]

There was an earlier thread asking the duration of a rollerset and I noticed that quite a few ladies included in their response that they wrapped their hair at night.

If you want to keep the curls, what do you suggest? Re-roll daily? What?

TIA

I usually do a high ponytail if I want to keep my girls. It works for about a day SOMETIMES two for me.

I sleep with a satin bonnet and pin the curls on my sides (next to my ears) up so they won't get too flat. Seems to work for me.

Thanks Allandra.

Lengthwanted,

But what about the hair in the back?

I sleep on my side, so the back does not get phased at all .. (satin bonnet keeps it in place)

Thanks!

I would like to get some information as far at the heat on the dryer.
What is the best recommended heat , if you want to have a straight rollerset?
I don't know if putting it on hot would be bad for my hair.

Lovly,

I only use the low and medium setting on my hooded dryer. The high setting is too hot for me. If you want a straight roller set (aka wrap look), try using big rollers and then wrapping the hair afterwards. HTH.

I rollerset and airdry - no heat. I maintain my set by simply tying up with a hair net. I finger comb to maintain. Yes, my curls get flat and I fluff with my fingers for the next day or so, if that doesn't work - I will comb out my ends with a wide tooth comb and that usually brings them to life. I keep my curls for at least 4 days before I re-shampoo.

Ditto. Mine last about 4 days this way. This is what I am currently doing. My high ponytail is secured between my front hairline and the crown. The curls last longer to me this way then when I wear the ponytail further back.
