Roller Setting Challenge for 2010???

[gymfreak336]

laughing at the la vida loca with hair color

I'm serious Between the permanent and semi permanent rinses, I went through about 10 shades in 3 months No breakage either:wink2:

 

[longhairlover]

what colors were you experimenting with? I guess it's all good as long as you didn't have any damage.

did you do highlights? if so which brand of color did you use, i'd like to do highlights but i'm just afraid of the highlighted area falling out.

Hey ladies... I desperately need ur help! I really want to join this challenge, but I've had it with learning how to effectively rollerset my hair! I've got the mohawk down, which lead me to believe that i would be able to get the "sides" down, but I definitely haven't. How did u ladies learn how to tackle the sides of ur hair when rollersetting? All the rollers just seem to get in each others way. I'll have a few in tight, but getting a roller on a specific piece of hair will cause me to have to "bump" one already set and then that one because super loose or falls out... its a never ending cycle. I've tried many of the cheat sets on the forum, but none of them have worked for me at all! What is the easiest way to set the rollers, without taking at least 5 hours to finish up?

 

[sophia_reed]

I just wanted to share the results of my rollerset I think this is the best I ever done it!!!

 

[longhairlover]

very nice! and from here it's only going to get better and sooooo much easier!

doesn't it feel soooo good to do a perfect rollerset?

It just feels like such an accomplishment.

I use to hate the saran wrap thing, but now i love it.

I'm having the same problem! my sides are a mess!!

 

[mzsophisticated26]

I am having issues with my sides staying also. I tried wet wrapping but it was a disaster my hair got so tangled. I have not wet wrapped my hair since January I did not know it would be this hard with SL texlaxed hair. I think today I will try to see if I can do a spiral set with snap ons since I just got around to buying some.

[longhairlover]

I will never wet wrap again, it came out alright, but getting the hair smooth was a mess and it took forever to dry

I've had wet wraps done professionally and they did it so easy, guess i'll leave it to someone else to do for me.

I feel your pain.

I want to try flexirods i've seen so many nice flexi sets on youtube.

I rollersetted today used infusium 23 repair, I should've read the reviews on here before buying the infusium 23 repair leave in, my curls were crunchy out of the rollers,

I sprayed my silk elements heat protectant spray and that softened them up then I blew my roots. I guess because it's protein that is why it was crunchy, I didn't lose any hair thank goodness.

still on the quest to find a soft protein leave in, all my leave ins are moisturizing.

buyers beware of the infusium 23.

 

[LushLox]

of course this challenge is for everyone.

9 months wow that's dedication, have you noticed alot of growth with the rollersets?

I feel it's more health than growth really, it's difficult for me to see it sometimes but folks say that my hair has grown.

I was neck length last year, and my hair was in very bad condition. The consistent rollersetting ensures my hair remains soft and I retain moisture so much better than say when I air dry. My hair is fine, but I'm sure it is the rollersetting that has played a major part in giving my hair fullness and body over time.

Anyways, I set my hair on Thursday. I used Rusk Smoother as leave in and a few sprays of Biolage Fortifying leave in. Here is a pic and this can be my starting pic.

EDIT 11/24 **So the official start date we can all start this faithfully is January 2nd 2010, if your out of it that week from partying then you can start sometime during the first 2 weeks of January.

oh yeah your hair grew if you were nl before.
it does really look nice a full and full of health.
I notice my hair is holding moisture better now that i've stopped blowdrying too.

I feel it's more health than growth really, it's difficult for me to see it sometimes but folks say that my hair has grown.

For the time frame for now I put 3 months but if we all notice that things are going great and we've gotten the hang of rollersetting then we can extend it for the full year.

I personally don't think I will ever stop rollersetting it's calming for my nerves and I enjoy doing them it's sooooo soothing.

 

[KnottyGurl]

I'm in!

1. What rollers will you be using?
Flexirods. I may experiment with magnetic rollers later.

2. What products will you use to set? (i.e. setting lotion, leave ins, serums etc.)
Alternate between leave-in conditioners and lottabody setting lotion.

3. What do you want to achieve in your stretch (length, health both)?
Length, health, and a huge reduction (not elimination) in heat usage.

4. Will you be using a blowdryer on your roots? Will you be using a blowdryer at all (optional)?
Yes, I will but I'm going to airdry 90% before I use it and limit usage to once or twice a week. With 90% airdrying, the blowdryer is on about 1-2 minutes max.

5. Will you be airdrying or using a hooded or bonnet dryer?
Airdrying. When I use the magnetic rollers, I'll use the hooded dryer and no blow dryer.

6. What styling tools will you be using? (fine tooth comb etc)
Jilbere shower comb, rat-tail comb, Denman brush, ionic hand blowdryer, ionic hooded blow dryer.

i am going to do some research on this. i want something that will hold the curl and be nice and soft at the same time.

to leave heat in the dust. i would love length and health too.
