[c*c*chic*]

in like 5 years! usually i go to a dominican salon but i since joining lhcf i no longer want anyone's hands in my head besides my own! lol
anyway, im not too pleased with my results. i used setting lotion diluted with water(3pts water, 1 pt setting lotion), leave in, aphogee green tea reconstructor, chi silk infusion. nothing else. rolled my hair up, let it dry for 50 minutes. when i took the rollers out my hair had lots and lots of bounce! but once i brushed them down to wrap it, bounce turned into fluff/frizz! i did the silk wrap and it kind tamed it a little bit but not what i really expected. any tips ladies?

The only times I've experienced frizz are when my hair isn't 100% completely dry when I remove the rollers.

How many weeks post are you? I don't usually experience frizz when I do my sets. Did you roll the hair neatly on the roller, if I rush then I get frizzy results.

Try adding a bit of moisturizing cream and leave it wrapped over night, you should be fine when you take it down in the morning.

If you're using undiluted lottabody up that mix to 5-6pts water, 1 pt setting lotion.

Also, you may be using too many leave-ins. Since I discovered FPSP, I don't bother with a leave-in any more. I wash a DC my hair twice a week, so I don't really feel like I need a leave in. Also, make sure your hair is COMPLETELY dry before you take it down. 50 minutes would never be enough for my hair unless I was using a Pibbs.

I agree that it sounds like you are using too many leave-ins. Usually 1 or 2 is enough.

I sometimes have the same frizz problem, especially when I get past about 4 weeks post-relaxer. I've found that my hair likes to stay curly when I rollerset it; so when I try to force the curls straight by combing them it just makes them frizz. I've found it works well to let the curls fall a little on their own (few hours) or finger comb it to loosen them a little first. You can also try using larger rollers to make the curls a little looser.

tx for the tips ladies! i just bumped my hair with my biosilk flat plates. i did 1 full pass with the iron on certain parts where the frizz was and it eliminated it. i have it wrapped now. this style wont last but 3 or 4 days cuz im ordering another half wig lol i'll b using that for a month probably. but i def want to get this right!

i used proclaims setting lotion. the bss i went to wanted almost 7 bucks for lottabody! wasn't tryin to hear its! lol
