Rollerset Drama -_-

[Niapb]

I'm so upset. I JUST deep conditioned my hair and it felt AMAZING, so I decided to roller set instead of my usual flat iron. I just rollerset my 4a hair, I used only water and aphogee keratin and green tea, and sat under my dryer for an hour and a half, and when I came out my curls were nice but when I ran my hand through my hair it was dry brittle and breaking. What did I do wrong?

When I rollerset I use a leave in conditioner and some type of serum. I spritz each section with water and my hair is always soft. Hope that helps.

your leave in conditioner wasn't moisturizing enough

Yeah, I always use a creamy, moisturizing leave in (Rusk Smoother) and a serum.

I'm new to the roller setting game but I have always used a creamy leave on my hair. I'm not sure of what you should do because I am still learning about these things myself.

How much Aphogee did you use? That stuff used in moderation is great but too much of it is the devil!

Aphogee green tea makes your hair hard when you use heat. I use it like that with my flat iron. It give great shine that way and since it's protein I feel like it's an extra coating to protect my hair, but it's crunchy and I run my hands through it and it get soft and silky again.

It was probably the Aphogee, maybe use a serum or water and conditioner mix next time. A little goes a long way for a nice bouncy set.

Yeah sounds like the products were the problem... before I started using lacio lacio leave-in and serum I had the same problem.

Use a creamy, moisturizing leave-in. If you must, add a dab of oil to it as you emulsify it in your hand before rubbing it onto each section.

not enough moisture! the protein in the aphogee product would cause the hair to feel hard.
