ROLLESETTERS! Those who use snap-ons?!

[Marand13]

Spinoff!
I noticed in the other thread that a few people are using snap-on magnetic rollers, and I have a few questions....

1. Does it take longer for your hair to dry when using these as opposed to magnetic rollers with just the clips?

2. Are you able to get more hair on each roller/ use less rollers and it still looks fabulous when finished?

3. Which do you think is better for thick, natural hair? rollers w/clips or snap-on rollers

4. And finally, do the snap-on part ever get caught on the hair?

5. Oh yeah, one last thing, what about the roots can you get them straighter/smoother so you don't have to apply as much heat flat ironing/blow drying when finished?


I had some in the past and they used to rip hairs out. Plus I could never get a good set with them cause they seemed to take forever to dry...
I want to try them again because they are faster to get in and with the pibbs they should dry alot faster.

What do you guys think!?
Should I give them one more try?

Yes, a little.

2. Are you able to get more hair on each roller/ use less rollers and it still looks fabulous when finished?

I think so.

3. Which do you think is better for thick, natural hair? rollers w/clips or snap-on rollers

I prefer snap ons - I can get the most tension that way, which is important if you want to straighten the wave. I used them on my dd's hair when it was natural.
4. And finally, do the snap-on part ever get caught on the hair?

Yes, inspect them every now and again for any raised or cracked parts that might snag your hair.
5. Oh yeah, one last thing, what about the roots can you get them straighter/smoother so you don't have to apply as much heat flat ironing/blow drying when finished?
If you use very small rollers around the hairline, this will straighten your ng nicely.

Answers above ^^^. Yes, they do take a little longer to dry, but I'm still in and out of my Pibbs in under an hour. I've been using them ever since I was 11 so I am more comfortable with them. I suck at using pins and I can't get a tight enough curl with clips.

HTH!

I noticed in the other thread that a few people are using snap-on magnetic rollers, and I have a few questions....

1. Does it take longer for your hair to dry when using these as opposed to magnetic rollers with just the clips? I haven't noticed a difference in terms of drying time.

2. Are you able to get more hair on each roller/ use less rollers and it still looks fabulous when finished? It helps to keep my hair more secure on the roller and it's also helps by smoothing the hair in place as it dryers. Also, to help keep it taut, I use a bobby pin or two after I've secured the clamps and roller in place

3. Which do you think is better for thick, natural hair? rollers w/clips or snap-on rollers As a fellow natural, definitely snap ons

4. And finally, do the snap-on part ever get caught on the hair? Not if I take them out carefully, but even when I don't, I have minimal breakage...just be sure that you rollers and clamps are smooth and snag free

5. Oh yeah, one last thing, what about the roots can you get them straighter/smoother so you don't have to apply as much heat flat ironing/blow drying when finished? Yes, by combining the bobby pins and rollers and sitting under the dryer, I don't have to have to flat iron (unless that was my initial intention) or blow dryer afterwards. Normally I comb the curls out and do a saran wrap treatment. I have plenty of pics in my fotki album in my siggy

I noticed in the other thread that a few people are using snap-on magnetic rollers, and I have a few questions....

1. Does it take longer for your hair to dry when using these as opposed to magnetic rollers with just the clips? No, it is about the same.

2. Are you able to get more hair on each roller/ use less rollers and it still looks fabulous when finished? Yes, I use alot of rollers if I want alot of volume and less if I want a smoother look.

3. Which do you think is better for thick, natural hair? rollers w/clips or snap-on rollers I think snap ons are better...you can get it tighter to the scalp with the snap-ons

4. And finally, do the snap-on part ever get caught on the hair? No.

5. Oh yeah, one last thing, what about the roots can you get them straighter/smoother so you don't have to apply as much heat flat ironing/blow drying when finished? Exactly.

1. Does it take longer for your hair to dry when using these as opposed to magnetic rollers with just the clips? Nope.

2. Are you able to get more hair on each roller/ use less rollers and it still looks fabulous when finished? I always put the same amount of hair on the roller no matter how the roller will be secured.

3. Which do you think is better for thick, natural hair? rollers w/clips or snap-on rollers I like the snaps because they are less likely to snag your hair, I use snaps and clips, though.

4. And finally, do the snap-on part ever get caught on the hair? Never.

5. Oh yeah, one last thing, what about the roots can you get them straighter/smoother so you don't have to apply as much heat flat ironing/blow drying when finished? Roll your hair as tightly around the roller as possible.

My answers are above. I use the Diane brand of magnetic rollers. Snaps are your friend lol.

I love them and my hair dries the same as with the magnetic ones. My hair comes out smooth too.

I noticed in the other thread that a few people are using snap-on magnetic rollers, and I have a few questions....

1. Does it take longer for your hair to dry when using these as opposed to magnetic rollers with just the clips? I haven't noticed any longer drying time...

2. Are you able to get more hair on each roller/ use less rollers and it still looks fabulous when finished? Yes, still looks great...I roll in smaller sections, so I have lots of rollers in my hair.

3. Which do you think is better for thick, natural hair? rollers w/clips or snap-on rollers I think snap ons, but I'm not natural, so I'll leave that to the experts.

4. And finally, do the snap-on part ever get caught on the hair? Not mine...

5. Oh yeah, one last thing, what about the roots can you get them straighter/smoother so you don't have to apply as much heat flat ironing/blow drying when finished? I like my roller sets full and fluffy, so I don't blow dry my roots. I blend my hair by flipping it over, shaking it and running my fingers through it. Then finger comb into place.

I think you should try them again....I also think the setting lotion helps too. The wetter it is, the easier it is to get hair on roller for me...

1. Does it take longer for your hair to dry when using these as opposed to magnetic rollers with just the clips? It takes the same amount of time for me to dry my hair. It doesn't matter if I am using the magnetic rollers with the clips or the snap-ons.

2. Are you able to get more hair on each roller/ use less rollers and it still looks fabulous when finished? I cannot find the really large, snap-on magnetic rollers, so I use about 3 or 4 more rollers than I normally would with magnetic and clips and it still comes out looking good.

3. Which do you think is better for thick, natural hair? I have relaxed hair so I can't answer this one!

4. And finally, do the snap-on part ever get caught on the hair? The snap-on part has never gotten caught in my hair.

5. Oh yeah, one last thing, what about the roots can you get them straighter/smoother so you don't have to apply as much heat flat ironing/blow drying when finished? I don't blowdry or flat iron my roots after a roller set (I am taking no direct heat seriously! ) After I rollerset, I take out the rollers, use JCS moisturizer, wrap my hair and spary some oil sheen. Then I wrap my hair with saran wrap and sit under the dryer for another 10-15 minutes. This may be why my roots are softer.

Overall, I like snap-on's better than using the clips. I never mastered using the clips and since the snap-ons work just as well, I don't think it's a necessity to using the clips.
