Rollersetting tips

[GeorginaSparks]

I want to rollerset and i believe I have all the products I need. I want to get the type of swang i get from my CHI or similar....

I have the rollers, the pins and the metal clips (i dont know how to use the clips i need help), setting lotion (its keracare does it need to be diluted?) and leave in.

How do i start as in what are the steps? I need help please....

I believe there are some rollersetting tutorials that might help you to visually see how to rollerset. Pretty much, you are going to want to get large rollers (if you are going for a flat ironed look) and section the hair in small, maybe 1 inch sections. The hair must be shorter than the roller. Roll upwards. If you roll completely straight out, or even below the parting, you won't get a good base. Put the pin at the base of the roller. If you put it anywhere else, It will be unstable and not sitting tightly. But like I said, there is probably tons of info on rollersetting throughout the forum! Good luck.

This was the website where I taught myself to rollerset before I found LHCF.
