Currently in box braids. They may not last long- nobody told me they were so heavy!

Rollersetting has done wonders for my hair. My ends seems to stay smooth much longer with the roller over air drying. I am still working on cutting down long it takes me to roll my hair. I have also gotten much better with pin curling my hair after a rollerset for a few days. I got a pretty bad layered cut and I able to camouflage it well with my rollersets.

If you do your own (or are an insistent customer) you can control how much and what kind of hair is added. That makes a world of difference.

Enjoying flexi rods on moisturized air dried hair. I moisturize with my shea butter mix and use 4 rods for this style. 1 on each side. 1 at the crown & 1 at the nape. I spiral roll on the rod. Sleep in overnight.
Below is what it looks like after 12 hours of work & doing house work. Oh my hair was a sweaty mess cause I been protective styling and working out daily. I took it down. Moisturized and rolled on rods. LOL! Lazy.

Medium? Her curls looked more like waves formed together

Disappeared for a minute. Rollerset this past weekend. Went back to my reliable CHI SI and I felt like a brand new women. I also found myself re wetting my hair periodically and that made rollersetting easier too.

Still roller setting weekly and all is well. I have found that the red and purple rollers give me the best styles and results. Also, I tried various setting lotions only to return to my beloved Lottabody.

I've been doing curlformers set lately although they never last as long as I would like. I might order some more as I think it's the seperation that shortens the life of them for me. I have some jumbo perm rods and flexirods I would like to try too. Regular rollersetting never worked out right for me but I guess practice makes perfect.

Deep conditioned on dry hair with something from Shescentit (was trying to use it up...success)
Washed with Beautiful Curls Shea Shampoo
Conditioned with Silk Dreams Destination Hydration
Roller set with a tiny bit of coconut oil and Silk Dreams Wheat Germ conditioner
In the cooler months, I add oil before I rollerset. It does weigh my hair down a bit however, I find that I can go longer without moisturizing, so I don't mind it. After taking out the rollers, I put my hair in a high pineapple. I do this not to maintain the curls, but to stretch out the roots.

Put it in a side ponytail for the day. I have an appt to get senegalese twists on the 21st so this will be my last set until December. I will be sure to post the styles I turn this set into until my braid appt though. Hoping this set will last until then.

I turned the direction of rollers because its hard to pull them straight. I also pulled out this kanechom Shea butter that was hiding behind my bathroom door for like a year and it made my two textures so manageable I set my hair in less than 20 minutes. It was smooth city.

I'm back to rollersetting as well. I've actually gotten quicker at roller placement, and determined what products work for me.
After washing and d/c, I add my leave ins, Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer and Elasta QP H2 Leave In, I then spray w/Keracare setting lotion(diluted w/water). I detangle each section w/a small comb prior to roller placement, and add (gasp)Motions Firm Hold Foam. I know Motions has not that great ingredients, but it makes my hair dry faster, doesn't weigh it down, and makes the curls stay much longer. Before sitting under the dryer I spray the set w/Elasta QP Reflect Oil Sheen.
I sit under the dryer for about 45 minutes, and then finger style. As I am 10 weeks post, I have been flat ironing the roots only. While my hair still as parts in it, I add my scalp treatment, favorite natural oils and (gasp) grease! I just started reusing B&B Super Gro. I don't really add moisture everyday, just as needed.

Did a braidout on previous rollerset hair. Did 2 big braids using cond/water mix and coconut oil. Of course, it will probably go in a ponytail before the day is out. lol

Where did you order them from?

High bun for the next 3 or 4 days. Used some castor oil around the edges before applying brown eco styler gel. I hate hard hair, and this always leaves my hair soft.
