Blairx0 that came out lovely! I see you use just water in your spray bottle. Do you use a heat protectant serum like Saludable84? I might try that next so my hair is more fluffy.

I do use a serum. I am experimenting with the komaza cone based serum, but plan to switch back to the super skinny knock off from sallys

Don't wait until next year. You are welcome to drop in and show off those wonderful sets anytime you would like. I am already inspired after one post!
I do plan on starting a 2014 thread as well. Likely i will begin inviting ladies after Halloween. I am so pleased at how much others have come and shared! My hair has benefited,s o much from this thread and i look forward to keep that alive for my benefit and the benefit of others in 2014!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I also go to the salon once a month to get blowouts...my next appt is coming up next week but I will be sure to post a picture of my next set after that time.
I can get my sets to last about 2 weeks. I normally wear it down for a day or two, pin it up, do ponytails, buns, braid outs and bantu knots. Mostly all my styles start with roller set hair. I wore roller wraps when I was relaxed and continue to set as a natural. Probably will never stop

With rollersets BIG hair is a given. Lol if you are not used to it, it can be uh different.
You have a lot of hair so maybe if you split those sections in half.
You hair is gougorgeous! Don't give up

Duchess007 I can tell by your face that you're not feeling it! 
But I think your curls before you separated them came out so soft and silky looking! Mine looked like I blow dried my hair. 
Right now I'm under the dryer with some large sized flexi rods.
Blairx0 my problem seems to be getting my hair smooth enough on the rods. My hair is the type that is very frizzy. No matter how much I smooth, I still get these smaller pieces coming up.
It's like one section of hair is never a uniform length...I have all these tiny pieces popping up as I smooth my hand down my hair. I tried using some PBN Cupuacu butter to lay it down and smooth them down. I think my hair will be really greasy now.

Or maybe try bigger rollers next time. That should take out some of the bulkiness. I like it though!

I know what you mean. My hair is the same way. My hair is not a uniform life because, as I have come to accept, is the life cycle of hair.
I am working with the aloe my hair serum now to smooth closer to the root and I have tried gel with mixed results. Do you use a cone based serum?

I tried the Fantasia Heat Protectant serum this morning with the Hairveda Red Tea Strong Holding Souffle. I didn't let my hair dry enough so that turned out bad. I am back under the dryer this time with a bit of EQP Design Silk heavily diluted and some PBN Cupuacu Butter over it. The butter definitely helped my hands smooth the hair onto the roller a bit better, but I'm not sure if this is going to come out well. I don't think I have the type of hair for rollersetting. It is too 4b poofy. I don't think rollersetting is for me.

Pics...cute but not quite. I think you need to be relaxed or have silkier hair for smooth sets. My hair is too poofy. Who wants to buy an Lcl dryer?
