Setting to Success 2013

Hiya Ladies!!

Happy Friday! 2morrow is my hair wash day. After I spend many hrs DC, I plan on installing my curlformers in the afternoon and taking them out before bed.

I've been contemplating on purchasing another curlformer kit. I have a 15% coupon from Sally's but that only knocks it down to around 55 bucks. I wish they werent so expensive.

Have you tried eBay. I had the bootleg ones ( I made a review thread I can link you to if you want ) they were the same as my real ones

I bought mine from ebay too...vendor Happycurls...I bought 48 (2 sets of 24) extra long & wide ones for $56. They look identical to the real ones (i actually think they are real but not in Curlformers packaging). They came with 4 rods (2 per bundle). HTH!
 
I need to try Nairobi. Do you ladies use setting lotion with it?

It is a setting product but in foam instead lotion. I apply my leave-in and silkening serum (small amounts) and then the setting foam.

So I splurged and bought some mesh rollers. A set of the plastic ones and a set of the wire ones. I haven't been doing much curlformer sets lately but hopefully with this I can get my feet wet with real rollersetting as I never had my hair rollersetted before or done it to myself. I just hope it doesn't become a puffy afro mess.
 
Under the dryer now doing my weekly magnetic roller set.

My hair feels amazing been trying some different products and my hair is thanking me.

Detangled with coconut oil then applied joico moisture recovery balm. I let that sit for 20 min while watching YouTube lol

Washed that out and shampooed with my normal cream of nature sunflower shampoo. Then did my first ever black tea rinse (yay me!) let that sit for 2 min then cowashed with herbal essence hello hydration conditioner. Then applied my cantu Shea butter leave in and some motions setting foam and rolled it up.

My hair hasn't felt this good in a while also I didn't experience any tangles and I'm almost 7 weeks post.

Can't wait to see what it feels like dry

Also the tea spelt amazing...I'm cheap so I just got the Kroger brand black English tea. I used 8 bags

That's great! I'm going to get some cheaper teas myself because using my Mighty Leaf teas on my hair has to end, lol!

Ok, just wondering. I use setting lotion and a foam product for my sets. The setting lotion helps prevent frizz.

I must try it!

What's the purpose of using the tea?

I'm no expert but in a nutshell it reduces shedding and the caffeine promotes growth.

So far all I can tell you is my hair seems stronger and feels amazing, but today was my first day trying it.

That's what I do also - put in my leave ins (usually a moisture, a protein, and a heat protectant/silkifier type) then use the foam
 
finally got around to doing my hair today and has been a disaster from the start :(
but I'm finished rollersetting and under the dryer now so hopefully my set comes out good enough that I don't have to put in a ponytail.
my main problem was placement. I've got a big head (lol) with a lot of hair. can someone give me some help/tutorial with pics or video ??

i was in the bss today and some lady had made a special order for a setting lotion. she said its the kind where you have to dilute it. I said to her is it lottabody? she was like no its has a powder in it and you have to shake it to mix the contents. i had never heard or seen of this stuff. once she got the bottle i went over to look at what it was. it looked soo old school and it was specifically made for quickly drying the hair. it was only 7 dollars and 1 botle makes a gallon so i will be picking some this week!

Sometimes my most crapy roller placement turn out great curls ;-). I can't help much because I'm still in the learning stages myself...took me 1 hr 20 minutes on Saturday to set :-O!

I see they just started selling Nairobi products at my local bss. I can finally try the foam wrap without paying shipping......$12.99 for the product is more than enough.
 
I am about 13 weeks post and love my poofy roots and hair line. I did my rollerset last Saturday in 25 minutes. I vary anywhere from 20-30 minutes. I swear when I am chipper, I get 'em done in a flash. When I feel blah it takes almost 30.

I don't understand why the right side of my hair is always damp under my LCL dryer. WTH?
 
Roller Setting Ladies,

What kind of comb or you using for your roller sets? A medium or fine tooth rat tail? Something else? I was looking at the HS6450 and/or the Hairsense 205 both are medium tooth rat tail combs. My hair is fine and low density. Trying to be as gentle as possible and getting my supplies together, so I can start roller setting.

Please advise! TIA

Sooo....I'm officially a PJ/Hair Stuff Junky -- After ONE use of the mesh rollers I went online an purchased a larger size mesh roller as well.. can we say JUNKIE??!!

Observation: I may be wrong but I don't feel the length of my hair is as "smooth" as it is after a magnetic roller set ... I normally don't get shedding when I comb out my curls and there were some hairs in tha comb.. :perplexed not cool.

GrowAHead where did you purchase plastic mesh rollers that are larger than the 1 1/2" Dianne red mesh rollers?

Please advise! TIA

Are you relaxed or natural. I am natural and use a medium rat tail comb--when I am being good. Sometimes I just grab and roll, but combing makes all the difference.

I like the way utuber & member jenchris23 rollersets. I think utuber mahogoneycurls(sp) has a video on rollersetting.
