Setting to Success 2013

I will I used small pink rollers in a vertical position with the intention of picking it out for a curly fro today. But the rain had other plans for my hair. Here is a picture of the set, the takedown and hair end of the day.

Ok ladies sorry I've been MIA in here. I know I raved about the plastic mesh & French mesh roller wet sets! But now I have a new LOVE!

Here's my routine:
Shampoo or cowash
Deep condition
Detangle under running water while rinsing out DC
Towel or tshirt dry for 15 minutes
Moisturize while damp with ORS olive oil moisturizer
Place hair in direction of style if not there already. I do this in the shower while detangling
Tie with satin scarf letting back of hair hang out or just tie down edges
Let air dry overnight
I use 3-4 gray flexi rods and roll away from my face all the way to the scalp.
Hair can set from a few hours to all day or overnight
Remove flexi rods & finger comb into style
Curls start off tight & by the end of the day you get a nice wave. (See pic of 12 hours later on 3 day old hair)

Benefits of air drying/flexi rod set:
Less breakage since hair is vulnerable when wet
Thicker hair from air drying
No heat
No hair dryers
No fancy sets and perfect parts
Retention

Enough talking here are the results
This last until next wash!

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:grin:!

GORGEOUS!!!!!!
 
I skipped a week of rollersetting. I won't ever do that again! I'm under the dryer now with red rollers.

Your hair is ERR'THING! I seriously cannot wait to be your length :lick:.
 
Back to my magnetic sets! I like flexi sets, but I'm too lazy to keep them up. I like to wrap and move on. Anywho. Did a mag set today and pressed out my roots. Would post a pic, but it looks like my last pics; just a different shirt :grin:

What I did:

Pre poo'd on dry (literally) hair with Curly Kinks Curly Cue Renew and HQS Coconut Lime Oil. No heat. 20 minutes. Parted relaxer style and applied to both root and strands.

Shampooed with Loreal Sulfate Free Poo (Reconstruct)

Joico K-Pak Intense Hydrator Condish (5 Min in shower)

Aphogee Keratin Mist
BioHair Care Moroccan Argan Oil LI (Thermal Protection as well)

Gray Magnetics - 45 Minutes

Flat Ironed Roots & Wrapped for 30 minutes.

bebezazueta I love it! How do you keep your curls? I know you work out....don't you sweat them out?
Click to expand...

Thanks lady! I do sweat it out but I throw in a few flexi rods before bed and after moisturizing and I'm good to go. Or if I wash my hair after a couple of days of sweating, I let airdry overnight and put in my flexi rods in the AM while I shower, get dressed and commute to work. I take those bad boys out right before I get in to work.
 
My mag set tonight....

Steam prepoo'd on dry salty and chlorine hair with Gleau and NuNaat Chocolate Mask. Clarified 2x w/ ORS Aloe and poo'd 1x w/ Loreal Sulfate Free... Aphogee 2 Min in shower and BioHair Care Moroccan Argan LI. Hair feels like a trillion bucks! I think that unintentional chlorine/salt Pre-poo might've been a culprit! But that 2 Minute is always a silky touch for me.

I'm so sorry but I'm back here cracking up!

Yes I did it on air dried hair that was moisturized while damp.

I place the flexi rods vertical so it's Mohawk style. With none on the sides so I can sleep. Otherwise that's a headache.

I'll take down my braided ponytail and get a pic taken so you can see the flexirod placement sweetheart. BRB!

Are you looking for a bonnet dryer or a stand up pibbs like dryer?

If you want to go salon style, which I suggest I think the lcl beauty dryer is great and they ship quick. I have also seen some similar at sallys. But still about 90-110.

I'm over here laughing too cause my hair didn't look like that at ALL when I did it :lol: I'll try again next wash day - it really is SOOO much quicker than doing the full rollerset process.

When you take the rods out, do the curls flow in all directions. In other words, can the curls be manipulated to sides as well as the back?

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

Yes it can. When you spread the hair out so that it covers more surface area of the flexi rod while you're rolling it. Let me know if you need a pic.
 
Depending on far along I am on my stretch, I cannot use a brush like that on my head like what Macherie is doing..no way, I would have so much breakage. The flat iron on the roots is the best option in my opinion. People of different textures are capable of using hairs tools in ways that others would perceive as damaging that is why I soon found out not to jump on bandwagons, there are plenty things one has to consider. On another note, I'm pissed I can't use/see the emoticons on my IPad!!
