So I broke down and bought Macherie's rollersetting DVD and was excited to finally learn how to start styling my hair (one of my resolutions for 08). Like a good student, I watched the DVD a few times, went out and got some the of materials I needed and decided to get down to it yesterday.
I clarified with Nexxus, which I have decided I HATE, it left my hair so stripped and a hot tangled mess, even after I spent a good 10 minutes detangling my dry hair. I followed with some Keracare for dry and itchy scalp which I LOVE, that tingle is no joke. DC'ed with some Aphogee 2 min for about 15 minutes which I also now LOVE (especially the smell)!! Got back in the shower rinsed it out and finished with my new fav VS So Sexy which finally worked out all the rest of my tangles, or so I thought. So I was all set to start.....
I popped the DVD back in the player and followed along. My first problem came when I started to part the hair. Ubber, ubber tangles in my NG (6 weeks post), but still I fought through and thought I had the parts together. My first roller and I realized I had bought the wrong clips, mine didn't slide all the way in and so they were sticking out; the part was too big so there was hair at the roots sticking out on the sides of the roller. Tried to do the second part and the real problems began, I had clipped the clips on that hair, while trying to roll it, I kept bumping into the front roller, my hair began to dry and the more it dried, the more it tangled. After starting over, losing more hair and still ending up where I started, I finally gave up
I guess it was a bad idea to try and rollerset for the first time 6 weeks into my stretch with about 1+ inches of growth. So ladies, up to how many weeks post do you continue to rollerset. Is there something I am missing, or is rollersetting just not for me?
BTW: This is NOT a reflection of Macherie's DVD b/c she does more than an excellent job of explaining/demonstrating. This is a br0wney3z problem
