Ryler Styler - Crimping Rollers

[PGirl]

Thanks so much PGirl. Now i want some too!.but.. I think my hair is too short at the nape for them to clamp This will help me to stay away from heat.

If you try it then let us know!

i have these too, never used them though. i need to experiment

 

[bluevalentine]

even though i banned myself from the bss up the street i might have to go and get me some....sigh....

 

[LaidBak]

Lordy lordy if I only had the patience to sit under the dryer I would be ALL OVER these things....
OK I'm gonna also wait until I hit APL. I'm thinking mt fine SL hair might end up looking like an ol' school curly bush.

Does anybody else have reviews of these rollers? I want to try them but don't know how many I would need for my bsl hair...

My mom used to set my relaxed hair on these as a kid! It made for cute special occasion hair. I need to remind my mom of these. She is a little past SL and it would look great on her.

I never knew rollers like these existed. I so want some. I do not know how to cornrow or braid. All I know how to do is plait. These would be great. I can also use them on my dd hair for special occasions. I'm going to search for them.

These are sooooo old school. I had these back in the day late 80s early 90's. They produce great results. The only down fall would be fitting my head and the rollers under the dryer. The top would be dry, but the rollers hanging out would take forever to dry. My hair was permed then. I tried it on my natural hair, but it was too tedious. I could get the same look by doing a few box braids, taking them apart, and lightly fluffing. I have coarse, thick 4a/b hair, so it may work differently on another hair type.

I know this thread is super old but I just had to weigh in because although I bought these Rylers a couple of years ago, I didn't use them until night before last. I bought them specifically to see if they would be an effective way to heat-less-ly stretch my 4B/4C scraping-shoulder-length hair after washing. I washed my hair in twists, detangled the sections with my modified Tangle Wrangler (that horse brush w/rows that separate), sprayed on my herbal leave-in concoction and clamped the Rylers in. Now these were hell to sleep on but after finishing the instal by 10 p.m. my hair was completely dry by 6 a.m. -- something that is always hit or miss with me and flexi rods or rollers. Hair was completely air dried, streched, fluffy and bouncy. Much better stretch results as compared to braid or twist outs on wet hair. Yay! Why did it take me two years to try this?

 

[Aicer]

These look interesting never seen these before.

JKinkylocks do you have any pics?

 

[albane]

Coincidentally I found this picture from a New Zealand fashion show; Do not know the result.

 

[KurlyNinja]

OMG! Now I NEED THESE! I didn't even know this existed until 2 minutes ago!

Can you post a picture of your results? TIA

Hey ladies,

I need to look in my phone b/c I think I took some pics, but I'm not sure. I will definitely make sure to take some the next time I do it.

In the meantime I'd like to share some more helpful information. While on a quest for a healthy, time-conscious way to stretch my 4b\4c hair, I came across the information on the Baldwin Modern Marcellers and Baldwin Worthy Wavers (Google to get the image, not sure if it's against the rules to post links in here), hair waving tools that women used back in the 1920's/30's to get that fingerwave effect we see in black and white movies. They were made of all rubber and look heavy enough to weigh down and stretch out kinky hair.

Since I don't think I'll have any luck antiquing, I decided to give it a try last Saturday before a birthday party. I took my handy dandy flexi rods and shaped them in sort of a "3" or an "M," and and weaved sections of freshly washed hair around them. I divided my hair in to 5 sections then sectioned each section into 3 or 4 rows as if I was rolling it regularly. I weaved my sections around the "flexi M" and even had to use 2 flexis on the longer areas, securing it by wrapping the ends around the bottom of the flexi and using a bobby pin (Yes, this sounds crazy so I will make sure to post a pic soon) Three hours later my hair was COMPLETELY air dried, soft, billowy and stretched. It even looked decent enough to wear as is.

There wasn't much definition, but I've got to perfect my DIY flaxseed gel+shea butter mix for the next go round.

PS. I need to see if I can get this ap on my blackberry so I can respond in a timely fashion!

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

Lol, I refuse to buy another pack of rollers.....maybe....

 

[JKinkylocks]

Hey this is a pick of the way I put the flexis in. Note this is not freshly washed hair in the pic, sort of stretched, twist out. I just wanted you to see how I put them in to stretch my hair on wash day. I'll but pics in as I do it and take out out next time.

 

[JKinkylocks]

More pics. Here's a set of using flexi rollers in a squiggly way on wet hair to stretch it out. This works because my hair type (beyond 4b/c) is dense, dry and stiff. This way I can have lots of little sections, that I can move about for updos, or other styles and it's more flowy and less stuck to my head... easier to separate and manipulate.

 

[girlonfire]

Bump! I found these in a bss a looong time ago. Didn't know about them since I wasn't even an embryo in the early 90s much less late 80s. I'm going to try these out as I plan to join the setting to success thread but I need to get my reggie together. These look promising!

 

[Blairx0]

I love rollers, so I won't say never, but that seems like a lot of work if you are high density. Seems like a Bantu knot out could get it done fast, but I am no good at those
