How do you apply enough tension to smooth your hair like that? Without the ponytails my hair would've be a hot puffy mess at the root.

I flat ironed the roots and the weight of the rods keeps my hair taunt and straight. If I don't flat iron my roots I flat twist them.

Maybe perm rods. I hear with certain types of hair you can use hot water to set them. Naptural85 did a video about it. You should check it out

I'm trying to roller set my natural hair with perm rods, but its not staying taut in the rollers, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I only have 4-5inches of hair right now, I don't want to waste hours setting my entire head until I ensure I have my technique right.

I've only used perm rods on my ends, so my advice might not be as helpful. That being said, have you tried roll,roll,pull?

My rollers weren't tight enough in the begining because even though I was rolling tightly I wasn't pulling the hair taunt. Now I roll one time around, another time around and then pull my hair taunt to make sure it is flare and tight to the roller. Then back to rolling.

Hope that helps

^ thanks I'll try that. It's taut until I plug the string into the head of the rod. then it loosens up significantly.

Ladies, I'm going to drop from this challenge but will continue to unofficially participate. Since I decided to transition back to natural I'll be rotating between roller sets and cornrow sets for max retention. MBL is my 2013 goal and I know it'll be tricky given the transition.

Under the dryer with a magnetic set. Used only gray rollers this time (how I know my hair is thriving and growing). Pre-poo'd with GSO and SSI Banana Brûlée Condish (applied relaxer style), poo washed with Loreal Sulfate Free Reconstruct Shampoo, DC'd with heat for 45 minutes with BioHair Care Moroccan-Argan Oil Hair Mask, used BioHair Care Moroccan-Argan oil thermal protection LI and set. Set took me 13 minutes tonight! Easiest set ever. Now under the dryer (so sleepy) for 45 minutes.

I'm also under the dryer. I'm in it for the long haul though.....Hour and a 1/2 .

I'm pretty excited though. I switched up my parting a bit so that I can rock a middle part tomorrow. I'll post my results once I'm finished .

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Mornin' guys......I didn't get much sleep , but I have to go somewhere in about an hour, so i thought I'd go ahead and post my results.

This was last night after freshly pressing my roots. I finger styled and it ended up like this....I LOVE IT! Its official the only time I will flat iron and blow dry will be when I texturize, other then that Rollersetting is where its at!

I knew once a month wouldn't be enough!!! Rollersetting is addictive. Especially when you realize that blow drying and flat ironing are not your friends. EnExitStageLeft

I generally wear buns, and pin ups all summer. I'm relaxed, so I usually don't get relaxers during the summer. Before cutting my hair a few years back, I went a summer rollersetting the entire summer. I'm going to be doing the same this summer. The only passes I'll get is when I go to the salon, or if I'm just doing a protective air dried style. I did my first rollerset last week, and am currently under the dryer now doing my second. I wore it out from Saturday-Thursday, and pinned it up on Friday and Saturday of this week. So I'm hoping to get a weeks wear of each set. I maintained it by pincurling every other night. I'm hoping to retain a lot of my summer growth spurt by not flat ironing.

@Babygrowth

*SUPER BLUSH You are so sweet and I've actually always wanted to hendigo, but never have. I died my hair black once like 2 years ago, but thats about it. I want silky jet black hair, but to chicken **** to color lol. Hendigo'in or color rinsing is my next best option, but I'm too hair lazy for alla' dat .

@DominicanBrazilian82....Tis' very addicting. I really love the fact that direct heat never touches my ends throughout the entire process.

 

[Blairx0]

Plan to set tonight and flat iron my roots. Will be back with pics
