Setting to Success 2013

I'm late but I want to join!!!

My hair is Collar bone length

I set every four days I just wear it curly.

I'm under the dryer now :-)
 
MileHighDiva just tell me where we sign the transfer papers at! :lol:

Million thanks for that link! I had bantu knotted my head before roller setting to have some kind of game plan but nope still looks a HAM, this looks much more promising. I'll have to figure out what to do with the hair tie marks as I'm not flat ironing, but it looks awesome. Great idea EnExitStageLeft!

I tried my first set tonight and hammercy :perplexed Some parts look as if I didn't even bother with smoothing/tugging while rolling.

I think I may need to use much less hair per roller but then I'm not sure if they will all fit on my head. Does anyone have any suggestions for setting with really dense hair?

@ExitEnStageLeft has a cool looking ponytail set that I really want to try.

I can ONLY ponytail rollerset because my traditional sets look more then a HAM...they look a SHAM :look::lol:.

Also, thanks for peeking around my blog. I haven't updated in a while, life is kickin my rear right now. Nonetheless I appreciate your visit!

It might help you understand the placement concept better if you see how someone else sets your hair. I think the hair in one of your rollers is enough for three rollers. Thats the way it looks anyway. You will get better.
 
Today's set using the Capelli Aqua rollers. I need to practice my tension

Mist my hair with water, I alternated between the caviar curls and the hair milk for leave in. then sprayed the aphogee, then less than a dime size of the setting mousse. I was going to add a serum but I was not sure if that would be overkill or not. I had the most trouble with the pins because i have never used them before. I was not sure how they should be placed to give maximum hold w/o poking my scalp. But I will keep practicing

I had the same issue today. My hair is fine but dense. I used the technique that my stylist used to use where she would pull the hair and then roll it either forward (for the front middle top and back sections), towards the left (for the right side section), towards the right (for the left side section). somehow she was always able to fit all of the rollers with no problem.
 
I gotta start rolling my hair in the mirror again. Lol

I been rolling while watching tv.

Catntu has a new moisturizer that i tried and I don't like it. My hair is NOT moisturized.

I had about 18 rollers in, not sure if that's a lot or not enough though. I'll definitely keep working on it. :yep:

Thanks ladies!

Girl!!' You'd better let that Dominicana out and roll like you know what you're doing! Mohawk style about 7 or 8 rollers in the middle, 7 on each side. 21/22 total. You got this girl! Amarilles
 
Question: Do any of you who use these large standing/rolling dryers like the Pibbs and LCL live in apartments. I don't want to trip a circuit. :look:

Yes. No circuit breaks but I still make sure my AC is off. Don't have central air.

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

I use 19 all strategically placed. That's not too bad. All magnetic grey rollers.

I live in an apartment sit there under the dryer, with my laptop, charging, lights and on and my boyfriend somewhere watching tv. No problems thus far
 
This thread needs more pics of roller sets! I'm almost ready to take my twists out. I think bouncy curls will inspire me!
 
I did a roller set last night after weeks of blow drying or air drying and setting with purple flexirods. I was so out of practice of putting the rollers in. It took longer than usual. My curls look ok today. I will probably rollerset through the fall and winter this year.
