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.

Please post a pic, is it like how you showed on your previous post? And how far along on your stretch do you still using this method? Thanks a bunch!!

I use this method with a fresh relaxer all the way to deep into a stretch. My photog is snoring so I'll grab a pic later. But yes that's how it was rolled in the previous pic.
 
Question to any lady dealing with textured hair.

My set come out super smooth except for the very ends. They are bushy even with end papers. What have you all done to fix that problem? By the way the ends are not split or damaged. At first I thought that was the case and have trimmed over 3 inches this year:/

I love roller sets because they allow me to stretch my hair for straighter styles and easier braiding without all the damage of flat ironing or blow drying weekly.

Although my ends are smooth on a set, maybe it's because you aren't smoothing them onto the roller? I take the time to ensure my ends are smoothed and wrapped around the roller by smoothing them out with my thumb (maybe a different finger would work for you, I use my thumb because where it falls in my rolling technique). Or possibly moisturizing your ends heavily for a week or so and then trying again. Not too sure Mama. Are you using magnetics? winona

I'm using French mesh, hard plastic mesh(conici) and curlformer. I will try better at smoothing at my next set on Tuesday

I can't wait to rollerset my hair tonight. I have been wearing my hair pulled back in a ponytail or clip. I am so ready to see my curls.
 
I blow dried and flat ironed my hair this morning because I was rushing and didn't have time to set (even though I was supposed to do it last night) and I must say I miss my set. Hair is flat and BORING. It's smooth because of that SSI Okra... And it's definitely swanging... But there is no body. :nono: Will set tomorrow or Saturday on co-washed hair.
 
Hey Guys:)

Set my hair last night. I flat iron my root and finger comb and this is the result.

(Please excuse the red eyes, I was sooooo tired lol)

After I took the pictures I moisturized my nape and edges, threw it into 5 pincurls, threw on my scarf and bonnet and slept like a log lol.

Your set looks great. What size rollers did you use?

Thanks @sweetnikki_6, I use the 1.5 plastic mesh rollers by annie:)
 
I'm thinking about buying some grey magnetcs, btu I need voers. Any of you ladies use snap on covers from different rollers over grey magnects? If so what size snap on cover do you use?
 
Currently doing a flexi set on dry hair. Moisturized with my beloved SSI Brazil Nut Buttercream, added a tiny dab of Nairobi Wrap Setting Lotion, and will now sit under the dryer for like 20-25 minutes. It's not even that damp. Just want to assure it takes shape and will stay. Will post pics!

I'm going to bed with conditioner. I'll set in the morning. Too tired now.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
Hey yall! Sorry I have been MIA. I have done two sets so far and the roller placement is good/great but the comb out be a hot bushy mess! Hurts to say that but maybe I need to wait longer before setting. I'm having a hard time pulling my hair taut because its so short and I have the 1in rollers. Maybe I need 7/8 in rollers? ugh! But I'm also going to try end papers and set again on Saturday. I have realized that I have to put extra foam on my texlaxed ends to get them smoother too but Im going to get it together! Yall still doing the daggone thang up in here tho! I love those flexi rod curls bebezazueta!
 
Back to roller setting. Oh man, my hair be feeling right when these rollers come out. I wish I could use something with better hold to preserve the curl, but CHI SI is the only thing that my hair responds well to and it makes my curls just drop so fast. Length doesn't make it easy either. I guess we can only compromise on few things….
 
Hey girlies!!! Been a minute since I posted... But I still set 1-2x per week. I'm currently under the dryer with gray magnetics (my usual)... Oh yeah... And I'll be 15 weeks post this Saturday.

Currently reading through this thread. Wanted some advice.
I've found the French Bouffant rollers that healthy textures has, I can buy 18 of them plus shipping and it's going to cost me £36.09. Is it worth it?


Baring in mind, all 2 inch rollers including magnetic, will cost me about the same.

Side note: I'm mbl and want very limited girl and maximum straightness
