Naturals who rollerset and/or just get their roots blown out.......

How do you do it? And what does the finished product look like?

I am going to be walking in a wedding late March and the bride is giving me problems about my hair. I told her I won't be straightening it for a year and would be willing to do a strawset but I don't think she liked the idea very much. Besides I couldn't find anyone in the philly/jersey area who is capable of setting my hair (for the strawset) without ripping it apart with a fine toothed comb, I really don't know what to do, I want to stay on my challenges...

I just did this the other day and I'll be doing a thread on it and putting pics in my album today. It came out very well.

Why don't you get a cute wig or instant weave? That way you could just braid your hair underneath..I have some cute wigs and no one could tell...if you are interested I'll send you the website so you could check out different styles...I did that before buying then I went to the local bss and tried different ones on. I got some for less than $20 these were synthetic hair.....

I was gonna say the same thing. You can just wear it for that day without having to straighten your hair and risk damaging it in the process.

I tell ya thought my edges on my right side broke off a little because I wore the wig for two months....on the website above ...Robin recommends wearing a protective wig liner /see above web site. I wasn't wearing the liner she recommends.

I forgot to add the fact that the bride ALSO wants everyone to wear their own hair. No weave, extensions, or wigs. What am I going to do?

I think that's ridiculous. I understand it's the brides wedding but I don't think it's fair to dictate what someone puts in their hair. What is her reason for not wanting weave? As long as it looks nice I don't see the problem. If it were me I would be honest w/my friend and tell them that I don't want to straighten my hair and that if it's a problem I won't be in the wedding. THis is just how I am and my friends know it. I am not sure what you should do but I definitely don't think you should do something to your hair that you don't want to. I think her requests put too many restrictions on you. I have been in weddings and I wore my hair in tiny 2 strand twists that were nicely curled and my hair looked just as good. Straight hair is not the norm for most black women, curly/kinky hair is and I think it's extreme to require you to physically alter your hair and not atleast allow you the option of weave/wig. If she really wants you in the wedding I think she should come to some type of compromise.

You're right, and thank God I have only paid for half of the dress so far. LOL I will propose a straw set or some other non-heat related style and see what she says...
