Setting to Success 2013

[DominicanBrazilian82]

I need to try adding more moisture. My last two rollersets were NOT cute!

Sent from my GT-P6210 using LHCF

Nyssa28 my moisture comes in the form of pre-poo'ing and really good leave-ins. Here are a few pics of my sets before takedown.

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.

Where is everyone at!!! The hair porn in here used to be real. I need some inspiration.

Just wanted to add that my hair was in need of a clarifying poo and condish. My hair feels so much better!

Hey there, it's been raining so much here in Atlanta that I use the 4 purple flex rod set and take them out at work.

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.

For those who moisturize and seal daily or every other day, what products do you use to maintain your curls?

Just did a ponytail roller set. Sitting under my Pibbs right now. Hope it turns out nice.

Your hair came out lovely...just like silk!!

 

[Rozlewis]

@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.

Your results look really good Rozlewis. Tight work Mama.

DominicanBrazilian82, thanks. I am happy with the results too considering I usually wear a bun it felt good to wear my hair somewhat out.

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.
July 31st
Products

August 5th:
Products:

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
