i finally did my first roller set on my natural hair and im happy with the results 
. i didn't think it would work out without using a gel or heavy styler (like curly pudding), but it did--i didn't want to use either because i've never like putting gel all over my hair and i thought cury pudding would take too long to dry...on to the pics:
what i used:
- setting spray-- i mixed a *little* burt's bees super shiny conditioner and *little* ultra sheen setting lotion with water
- straightening balm-- smooth 'n shine's "silk 'n sleek" straighten butter
- 48 1.5inch rollers lol and 2 small rollers because i was all out of big rollers
- babbyliss pro thremal ionic hood dryer
what i did:
- saturated my hair with the setting spray
- smoothed on some straightening butter to each section before rolling
- rolled my hair using small sections to allow faster drying and a smoother set
- sat under the dryer for 2 hours--idk i had to sit for two hours but i wanted to be sure that my hair was COMPLETELY dry
- after drying, let rollers COOL OFF then took them out
- separated each curl with FINGERS; i've seen results after combing natural roller sets and it is usually frizzy/puffy so i opted against combing
- i flat ironed only the front of my hair to get some of the volume out and to smooth it back

Your hair came out gorgeous!
