Setting to Success 2013

[MileHighDiva]

Saludable84, which one did you buy? Where's your review? Does it have the ionic technology?
Maybe, it's a blessing in disguise that Salons R Us/LCL Beauty is out of their Pibb knock off.

Saludable84 Froreal3 I think the bigger the rollers, the straighter the results. The smaller the roller (especially with longer hair), the tighter the curl). Another tip: when shopping for magnetics, be sure to buy the shiny ones vs. the dull, rough looking, ones. Trust me it makes all the difference when heat is involved.

I don't use super small rollers, but I get what you mean. The larger rollers leave my hair dull so thats why I don't use them. I just might pull them out the box though and see if it might leave my hair straight enough to wear out for once.

My shiny rollers arent made very well, they still have the seams. So while they give good results, I usually have to pick them out so I use the ones that aren't going to break my hair.

Im not sure with the technology. When it comes to indirect heat, I'm only worried about how it blows on my hair and the after results. Im only worried about technology with direct heat. I never thought of doing a review though.

HS197W Tail Comb

Do any of you ladies use this comb for roller setting? Have you tried it? Are the teeth too fine for Afro-textured hair.

I already have this one. HS6450 Tail Comb

Even though I have not used it yet, because I have not purchased a dryer, thus far. I want to be prepared when I do.

Please provide your thoughts!

I do use a comb like that (.99 knockoff) after I spray each piece with water just before putting in each roller. The hair has already been detangled by that time and its really just for extra smoothing. You are texlaxed right? I think either one of those should be okay to smooth each piece of damp hair cuz it will already be detangled.

 

[Blairx0]

^^ I use that comb for parting. I'm natural, so I need a finer comb to smooth and role

 

[MileHighDiva]

Blairx0 and mshoneyfly

Okay, I'll buy the comb, because your right at that point the hair would already be detangled. I'm 95% done with my transition to natural. I still have about 1-1/2" of relaxed hair still left in the front. I think I'm going to deal that during the Fall Solstice.

 

[Blairx0]

^^^ hope you like it. You will find the comb is good for a once over on natural hair....you can part and comb out larger sections. but have a finer comb on hair so you can really get your hair on the roller

Under my Pibbs with my mags. Will press roots and wrap. Big overnight date with the boo tomorrow. Gotta get this hair right.

I purchased the LCL beauty dryer...but it is backordered. They say it will ship some time around 9/2. I'm fine with that. I bought the Magic Lady Star comb from hotcombs and also picked up some white hourglass rollers from Capelli Care aka smores.

I think I am good on the leave in game. I have a good amount of them, plus I have the Komaza Aloe My Hair serum. I think I will pick up a heat protectant as well though.

I think I will try and get the hang of this roller setting thing throughout September. Anniversary is at the end of September, so I want my sets to look great by then.

My contribution. I'm out of my weave, just relaxed a week ago, and letting my hair rest. I'll be back up in a weave in a few weeks.

Me and my poofy hair. It's straighter now. I rolled the top to the back and the rest I rolled upawards. Roller and red and purple rollers.

 

[Blairx0]

Plan to use these to set this weekend. I will be posting reviews!

Under the dryer now all rolled up. I got my relaxer yesterday but felt like I needed another DC, SO I did that and rolled it up with water, jojoba oil and a tab bit of Tresemme Naturals condish. LOC

MileHighDiva, I have both of the combs you mentioned in your post. I use the 6450 for my roller sets. It gets the hair nice and straight which helps with the drying process. I have not had problems with either comb. You can't go wrong with seamless.

Rozlewis, what are you using the finer tooth comb HS197W Tail Comb for, if your only using the medium tooth comb 6450 for roller setting?

 

[Saludable84]

Today's set

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

MileHighDiva, I kinda use those combs interchangeably. I use the 4 comb method which means I use the Magic Rake (5660) comb first, then I go to the 1975, then I got to the 6450, then last the 197. I also use the 197 to make parts.

I use the three comb method, but either way it works.

Hopefully when i get my new rollers i can get back into setting my hair. I miss it.

Also can i get new suggestions for a new dryer. the bonnet to my soft bonnet dryer has a rip in it

Which rollers did you get? I'm dying to get a few bucks and try the hourglass rollers. Have a wedding and vacation in a week, so I probably won't be ordering them for another couple weeks.

Saludable84 i bought some of the hourglass rollers. there is a 30% off flash sale today

 

[Froreal3]

Does anyone have the Magic Lady Star comb? I figured I could use the fine tooth side for roller setting/3rd stage in the 3 comb smooth.
