Rollersetters...what product(s) are you setting with

[zzirvingj]

For those of you that rollerset, after you're done with the shampoo/DC stage, what is in your hair???

Please name ANY AND ALL products you put in your hair after washing, before you rollerset. Please include any leave-ins, moisturizers, oils, setting lotions, etc. Or if you don't apply any product, let me know that, too...

I read a few threads where a person or two mentioned using a little diluted Lottabody and that's it---anybody still use this to set with? Do you find that the less product you add, the better your rollersets come out?

TIA

I have a question about the CHI/Biosilk you have listed....these are serums, correct? For those of you that use serums, are you adding the serum in the spray bottle (ie, with your water/Lacio Lacio)? Or do you just rub it into your hands and apply?

Also, are you putting the serum on before you rollerset or after your set is done?

i just rub it into my hands and apply. I put the serum on before i rollerset.

I use a spray bottle with just plain water. I think that is key. Also I use Bio Complex -Placenta de Oveja a product by Star. It has a picture of a sheep on it. I think it makes my hair shiny and soft. I tried it the other day on my dry hair and it made it soft. Put this in first and then spray with water. Sometimes I use Infusium 23 repair.

Ion setting lotion and coconut oil

 

[Dposh167]

this is all in correct order:...braid spray with extra glycerin & aloe vera juice added....giovanni direct leave in.....dilluted lacio lacio with water in spray bottle(right b4 i roll the section).....castor oil on ends only (right b4 i roll)......ion heat protectant spray

 

[LovelyLionessa]

Lacio Lacio and only water in my spray bottle.

 

[tbaby_8]

It varies on what I feel like, but here it goes.

Nacidit Leave in Conditioner
Biolage Shine Milk
or Biolage Leave in Conditioner
Nu Expressions Foaming Wrap lotion.

Once my roller set is dry, I either use a little mizani rose H2O or a little of my butter mixture and wrap my hair. My rollersets come out looking very shiny and soft.

I have a question about the CHI/Biosilk you have listed....these are serums, correct? YES its a serum. For those of you that use serums, are you adding the serum in the spray bottle (ie, with your water/Lacio Lacio)? No my hair is usually still wet after the rollerset, if it takes a while to set I keep the water handy to use but right after I wash and DC I add lacio lacio and mix with Biosilk Or do you just rub it into your hands and apply? YES. But u can do it either way.

Also, are you putting the serum on before you rollerset or after your set is done?

B4 the rollerset. The serum is used as a heat protectant from the drier.

I use this too when I run out of Lacio Lacio. I like it just as much.

 

[Determined22]

In order, I apply EQP Intense, then Organix Anti-breakage serum, then EQP Design Foam. My spray bottle just has plain water in it.

 

[chelleyrock]

Salerm 21 and Hask Shine serum. I rub both in my hands and apply to hair. I use a spray bottle with water only when it starts to get dry.

Rotate between lacio lacio, keracare leave-in, giovanni direct or shescentit's green grape leave-in. Follow up with any of the following serums-Keracare silken seal, CHI silk infusion or Fantasia Olive oil serum. Sometimes if I want a firm set I'll use diluted lottabody with any of the above products.

 

[la flaca]

I use to rollerset:
*Hang Straight
*Lite Elements Fluid

After the hair is dried
Anti-humectant Pomade

I must say that my hair looks great

 

[SparklingFlame]

I HATED Lottabody!!! :thumbsdown:

It made my hair crunchy.

In every product I use, I add silk amino acids. This is also added to my water bottle when I rollerset.

I use Lacio Lacio and Chi silk infusion. I spray water on my hair to keep in soaking wet.

The results are swinging, bouncing hair.

 

[nicki6]

I am currently using Lacio Lacio (added 2ml of silk amino acids to it). I spritzed w/ diluted Lottabody and dry for 30 mins under my Pibbs.

This week, I did a flex rod set and it lasted ALL week long..I only reroll overnite twice. My curls held and were soft and bouncy.

ETA: I use a dime sized amount of Keracare silken seal for extra shine!

 

[Mrs.Green]

After I deep condition with Silicon Mix, rinse and apply Lacio Lacio. I keep my hair sopping wet with plain water. The curls are flawless when dry

 

[froggie08]

I use lacio lacio or NTM leave in
I then use frizz buster serum or chi silk infusion
I also use a bottle filled with water to spray each section of hair before it's placed on the roller.

I am almost out of the lacio lacio so I will be ordering shescentit green-grape leave-in I hope it works well for me.

 

[kblc06]

Water mixture includes: Lottabody (diluted in water), Chi Keratin Mist or SAA, and water

Leave-ins: Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Repair Cream (the one in Priestess's siggy) & Chi Silk Infusion

I apply them to EACH section as I rollerset

 

[disgtgyal]

biolage leave in tonic (recently started using biolage but like it so far) and texture correcting serum

 

[Tarae]

AG Fastfood (or Lacio Lacio)
Fantasia Heat Protectant serum
Water in spray bottle

 

[SoOoNY]

AG Fastfood (or Lacio Lacio)
Fantasia Heat Protectant serum
Water in spray bottle

That is the truth... its what I use in my hair and I love love LOVE it...

I pre-poo with Emergencia and castor oil (and egg if i need a boost of protein). I wash then put in AG Fast food Leave in and a heat protectant (either Chi silk, redken heat glide, biosilk or nexxus heat protectant) and if my hair starts to get dry i use rewet with a mix of lacio lacio water castor oil and infusium

 

[CoffeeBean]

I love LottaBody b/c it give "lotta body". Curls last much longer with this than any other product I've tried ( and I've tried many). You must dilute this [BWELL! If your hair turns out "crunchy" then you may not have diluted it enough. I usually use the Kids Organic Shea Butter (sm amount) a little Keracare foam set and spray lottabody on each section to be rolled. Turns out: flawless.

 

[Kiki82]

1. NTM silk touch leave-in
2. Keracare foam
3. jojoba oil
4. water when it starts to get dry...

CoffeeBean, what's the ratio of water to LottaBody? I just bought some, so I'm going to give it a try.

I've tried Altena's hemp organic straightening balm and water and my hair was a hot mess!

This weekend I'll try not washing out all of my banana brulee (love that stuff), Redken's heat glide and a little LottaBody.
