:) :) :) :)

  • I washed & condition my hair while it was still twisted.
  • Then I took two twists out at a time. Then put a little coconut oil and Curls whipped cream on my hair.
  • I used my hands and the k cutter to elongate each piece. Then I rolled each piece of hair as tight as possible.
  • Next I sat under my ionic hair dryer for 20 minutes on low, then about 35-45 on cool.
  • Finally I let it air dry over night
  • Result: I think if I used some type of setting lotion my hair would have been a little smoother. Any who I loved how soft and bouncy it came out.

I will try this again next week with different rollers. Please leave any suggestions!!!!

People are rollersetting left and right, It must be the season for successful rollersets. I just had my first successful one last night;) ;) ;) :cool:
 
The first 20 or so times I tried to rollerset, I used setting lotion. My successful rollerset was a result of using Kids Organics Shea Butter moisturizer and shea butter on my ends. I think the moisture and thick shea butter work really really well for my 4B hair:D :D :D . Normally I can't use a lot of Shea Butter in my hair but with the rollerset I put some on each individual end before rollersetting. I loved the results. Setting Lotion just didn't work for me...Shea Butter and moisturizer were definitely the way to go:D

Also you are very pretty and your hair looks really healthy and THICK!!!
 
You and your hair are absolutely beautiful.!!!! Yay rollersets can be accomplished with natural/kinky hair!!! You "GONE" girl wit yo bad self!!!!

Thanks Ladies! I will try the shea butter and lotion for my next roller set:):D

I went to a dominican salon and they used Lacio Lacio. This was my first roller set ever. My hair came out looking so straight like it had jsut been relaxed ! And I have not relaxed my hair in almost a year.
 
wow its beautiful!!! i can imagen some more cute looks with this after a few days when the curl have fallen(been slept on) like with a head band/ponytail- smashin lol
 
Great job!
Last week, I did a rollerset on my natural hair too! It's amazing what you can do with 4a/b hair! Our styling options are endless! :)
 
Thanks Ladies!!! Poohbear you're so right, it's ENDLESS.:) When my family and friends see me they can't believe how I can change up my looks so effortlessly. A perm is not necessary.
 
So what is best to use when rollersetting natural hair? I tried setting lotion and it made my hair hard.
 
Thanks Ladies! Mrs. Lala~ I not sure just yet, I plan on trying curlz milkshake and pantene setting lotion(relax/Natural) next. I will let you know how it turns out:)
