Pics of my straw set

[moda]

I finally did a straw set and I am happy with the results. If you would like to see pics, they are in the heat free styles folder, in the rollerset / straw set album.

Ok I need details! How long did it take you to do the set? You said you slept in the straws so did you air dry or did you spend some time under a dryer.

Oh by the way nice job!

You did a great job!! i've wanting to try one too but i have a little too much newgrowth going on at this point so i'll a couple more months till im natural. But I still need details. Most importantly how long did it take to get the straws in, was your hair completly dry in the AM and whatsize pins did you use to hold the straws in place?

BTW I your hair

Thanks Simplycee !! It took about 3 hours to get the straws in I did not sit under the dryer at all, normally my hair does not dry overnight. When I rollerset it dries much quicker, and I am normally about 90% dry by morning. My hair was actually 100% dry with the straw set.

Thanks Chocolate !!

I used small bobby pins, and I only used 1 pin per straw. I did also use roller paper on my ends.

BTW, I love your hair too, the flexirod set was gorgeous.

very pretty!

Thanks Western

That looks really really good. So, how did you start rolling...from the bottom or the top..I'm confused. Does someone have steps in their album I can look at.

Also what did you put onto your hair.

Thanks senimoni !!! I rolled from the bottom of the straw to the top. I am not sure if someone has steps in their album, but I'd be happy to throw some steps in when I get home for you. My leave in was NTM silk touch, and I added Black n Sassy Hot sheen to give it the shine, and a little curl wax which helps keep my curls from frizzing.

I like your flexirods set! Very nice. Was your hair wet when you rolled it or did you use a setting lotion on dry hair and rolled it up?

Thanks Queen !! My hair was wet. I do not use setting lotion, I normally apply a leave in moisturizer, hot sheen, and curl wax.

really cute. you are an inspiration. Now I really want to try a straw set but I think my hair might look really short with it.

Thanks Loca Yes a straw set will make your hair look much shorter, but each day the curls are dropping a bit more

Thanks Poohbear, I am very happy with the look. All I need is for it to last 1 week, and it will become my staple style for a while.

Your strawset turned out great!

Thanks Lovely!
