The rollerset looks nice, very soft and fluffy looking.

I might have to give that bantu set a try...

I'll be rollersetting after church on Sunday. I'll try to post some pics on Monday 'cause Sunday is a very FULL day at our address.

I would join but I feel like I would be cheating. I already roller set my natural hair every week to reduce shrinkage and make it easier to comb. Good luck ladies.

It's not cheating just because you already do it. I'm sure you'd be welcomed.

Girl, it is not cheating. You are welcome to join. Maybe you can motivate us to rollerset every week

Mandy your roller set is so pretty. Did you air dry or dry under a hood dryer?

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I need to learn how to do this. I just can't figure out how to roller set my natural hair. My relaxed hair was easier. How do you ladies do this?

What parts are you having a problem with? I'll will try to help.

ETA: It is very important to thoroughly wet the hair and smooth it out and then lay it on the roller and lightly pull as you roll toward your scalp. This adds the tension needed to straighten the hair.

Very pretty Mandy. You are very creative and versatile with your natural hair!

Ok so my rollerset lasted a week. I took a very hot steamy bath.....which I love to do, and the roots frizzed. Oh well. I was pretty happy with it. I may try again at the end of this week.

OK, I am trying to figure out how to section and roll my hair. I have a TWA that is getting close to a medium sized one. Also, do I have to put any setting lotion or styling foam on wet hair? Thank you for offering your assistance! Is anyone using the mohawk roller set method? Am I asking too many questions? I am very excited at trying this because I think I need more variety with my hair.

Thank you so much sweetie! I dry under my Pibbs

Girl learning is part of the challenge. I will post some pics tonight of the kind of rollers I use. They really help me to get my Twa hair to stay on the roller.

Very pretty Mandy. You are very creative and versatile with your natural hair!

Thanks Pinkskates

You are not asking to many questions...Thats what the thread is here for. I don't use the mohawk method, I think it is easier to use that method if your hair is longer...I don't know. I just start from the front and work my way to the back.

Welcome to the challenge!

Can it be with the satin sponge rollers?

 

[natstar]

I used curformers this past weekend. I loved the result but my set on lasted a few hours before the curls started dropping. I thought I could get away with just using some water and a little hairveda almond glaze. Next time i will try some elasta foam wrap lotion and water

Hey ladies here is my rollersetting process for today:

I DCed overnight with Banana Brulee, after rinsing a spritz my hair with Oyin Juices and Berries and applied a little coconut oil and then proceeded to rollersetting.
I am not able to use magnatic rollers yet because my hair is too short and it does not stay smoothly on the roller without the teeth to hold it (see below)

I used these rollers:

These are ok but they frizz up my hair a bit and they snug a bit too, but not too bad

I really like these ones, they give a good grip so my hair stays on the roller, they don't snug and they give a pretty smooth look. No frizz. I have to buy bigger ones soon though

Today I used both, just to compare the result

Here is the result...As you can see the very front is a bit frizzy and the rest is much smoother

I applied a bit more coconut oil, a tiny bit of qhemet Amla and olive heavy cream and a bit of sabino moisture block then I blew out the roots with a hot air brush...This is the result (this pic does not do my hair justice, It was very shiny, the flash ruined it)

I bantu knotted it up for the night...I was feeling tired by this time so I did the knots a bit bigger than I normally do. I will do a bantu knotout style in the morning

We will see what I can do with it tomorrow morning I will post pics if it turns out nice

 

[ImFree27]

I think I'm going to join, but I'm only going to rollerset on the weekends and bun the rest of the days, its still protective and my hair will be stretched...I just post a vid on how I do my rollersets...

 

[Carrie A]

Your set came out nicely, Mandy. How did the bantu knot-out turn out?

Thanks....thanks the Bantu knot out did not turn out good at all
I did them too big...I was really tired by the time I had to do them.
I knew I should have done them smaller.
Better results next time I guess.

Hey do you have a photobucket or fotki account? I can help you with adding pics to the thread if you have any of the two account. If you don't have photobucket or a fotki, then I think you can use the attach feature and add pictures from your computer. Please PM me if you need further help. I can try my best to help.

Hopefully, I plan on rollersetting today and testing it out

Congratulations on the purchase of your dryer. What kind is it?

I purchased it from salonsrus.com from the recommendation I got from SparklingFlame. She has uber-thick, BSL hair and says that it gets her hair dry in about 50 minutes. . It is very similar to the Pibbs dryer, but doesn't cost nearly as much

 

[Ms_Twana]

OMG..I soo wanna do this. I'll have to come back and read. Are there any tips for coily 4a's??? When I tried to rollerset, I couldn't get my hair to stay straight and wrap around the roller.

 

[momi]

Just completed my 2nd rollerset ... sorry no pictures, I slept in the rollers and it was not a pretty picture.

This time I used Jane Carter Wrap and Roll with a little Kenra straight creme, it came out much softer...

I am a 4a, I make sure my hair is wet, then comb thru with my denman and then rat tail. After this I smooth it on the roller and pin!

 

[IndianAngel22]

I need inspiration!

Which one is it, Kblc?
