Setting to Success 2013

I have been faithfully doing the 4 purple flexi rod set since it has been raining for weeks here in Atlanta. I go through my regular hair routine but I blow dry my hair and set it. I wear the roller to work and take them out when I get settled in. I absolutely love the look I get with them. I am hooked!!!! Thanks for the picture tutorial bebezazueta.
 
Just wanted to add that my hair was in need of a clarifying poo and condish. My hair feels so much better!

On a roller setting hiatus. I'll be back with smooth cuticles tomorrow hopefully!

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
I have been air drying and pin curling every night since my last texturizer. I have to admit I did a light flat iron a few days ago. This has been working out nicely. Bantu Knots are good too if I have time to let them dry.

Just been too lazy to roller set. I might do one this weekend, though bc I need to get the wrinkles out, lol!
 
hi. I am not in the challenge but the thread has inspired me.

I just need motivation. I used to roller set often even as a natural but I have gotten lazy these past two years.

After 4 years of wanting French mesh rollers, I finally have some and they are still in the package. Hopefully I will do roller set over the weekend and report back.
 
Finally roller set.

This was the final result.

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

@eleghanelephant, I moisturize and seal every evening. I use Bee Mine Deja Hair Milk or the Balanced Cream Moisturizer to moisturize and I use grape seed oil or some type of oil to seal to seal. I will pin curl if I want curls but usually I baggy my ends and tie my hair up in a silk scarf. The next day I will bun or do a french twist.
 
OK, I finished my ponytail roller set and I love how fast and easy it was. This was my first time doing them but I will do them again. I did not take pics of the ponytails but here is the finished style. I am 10 weeks post so I am keeping it kinda simple.

I haven't seen banana clips in forever, but they seem like a good way to wear curls without compromising them.
 
I;m so excited to be posting in this thread.

I have been absent for a long time because I was embarrassed.


I put my dryer, rollers, and nearly everything else my hair loves in storage as I was moving and traveling. I figured I could just DC with yogurt and cooking oil and use the tension method to stretch my hair and bun.

But nothing and i mean nothing is as good as a rollersetting.

Today I was reunited with my dryer and it felt so good. Though I was a little anxious and didn't do the best set possible,my hair feels amazing: soft, stretched, clean and moisturized. I will post pictures after I take my flexi rods down. But let me tell you I have been jealous of your post and your progress.You ladies have been doing so well and I so enjoy reading about it. I won't stray again!
 
Currently under the dryer in my weekly magnetic set. Mohawk style of course. I did a 8 hour pre-poo DC with HQS Go Deep, then a poo wash and DC with SD Chocolate Bliss and PBN Chocolate Hair Smoothie. I mixed a little Roux PC Condish with my DC. I sat under my heating cap for an hour and then set. Will take down, brush out and wrap. No root press tonight. Will wrap tight to flatten my roots as I sleep.
 
Well I guess I am going to try and join this challenge as best I can.

I have been setting my hair with perm rods for the past two weeks.

What I have learned:
The grey perm rods have spikes on them that pull my hair so I will no longer use those
I may need to skip the creme product and just let my deep conditioner be my moisturizer because my hair feels very heavy and very coated.
I really need to do this early in the morning because I am up all night drying my hair
I have to use flexi rods to "keep" my curls for 4 days (until my next wash) because I sweat too much to just put a bonnet on at night.

What i need to learn:

what leave in products go well with eco styler gel, because I have a ton of it and I want to start using it to set my hair
