Just got out from under the dryer. These days, I'm rarely wearing my hair curly. I finally learned how to use larger rollers to let my hair dry pretty much straight but with nice body and I am now in love!

I'm holding my spot for later! I did a test rollerset to see if I can do it before joining this challenge and it was a success...well, sorta ;-). I'm ordering my Pibbs 514 Kwik this week, can't wait to use it!

Just bought some extra wide curlformers. Can't wait for them to arrive!

 

[GrowAHead]

How are the curlformers... it seems like dragging your hair through the former would be too mucm manipulation. I'm scured to try them!

 

[Blairx0]

I have the extra long wide one and I feel like, once you get the hang of the hook, it is the same as pulling it into a pony

Been putting a few rollers in on top and a ponytail and rocking updos for work. I just love love how my hair feels. So much smoother. I should be able to stretch 12 weeks with no problems.

All rolled up and under the dryer. O am setting to flat iron this time, so i didn't use any setting product. We shall see how this goes. At least it should decrease drying time

Well, I have done a rollerset yet. But this weekends the weekend. I'm going to use my curlformers. I'll post pics probably Sunday. I also want to henna over night. We'll see what happens. It's been over a year since I've used the curlformers.

im glad i re-purchased chi silk infusion, that's definitely one of my faves for roller setting

 

[Blairx0]

I want to try the chi soon infusion serum for setting is the knock off Sallys one as good

A unique kind of set...

I have a love affair for big hair. So after day four when my set is no longer the bouncy wrap it started as, I tend to get bored. My boredom usually tells me to dampen my hair (staying away from the roots) with my leave-in/water/Pillowsoft Curls concoction. I then will scrunch it and clip it down with a claw. I'll do about 8 or 9 of these and let it dry completely (sometimes even sitting under the dryer for about thirty minutes to hurry the process along). Once I remove the claws, I spray with an oil spray (CurlyKinks has one that I love) and have a beautiful crinkly/curly set that extends my set two more days. I wear it down the first day. Then usually pinned some kinda way the second. I'll post pics next time...

Completed my Saturday set. Now under my LCL (giving the Pibbs a break... Actually this one was somehow in front and I didn't want to disturb the order of my hair closet) for 45-1hr.

Under the dryer now deep conditioning.. Haven't decided on a type of set yet

 

[KiWiStyle]

Did a rollerset with magnetic rollers and now I'm under my Pibbs. My fingers are crossed that I used enough product, I only used a little because my hair is fine and I have low density.

KiWiStyle, let us know how it turns out. Post pictures if you can. Thanks!!

Here's my rollerset, I think it came out ok and my roller placement was much better this time. They're so soft and bouncy!! I can't wait until the front of my hair thickens and gains length, it's getting discouraging.

Very pretty

Finishing up my rollerset now. Wash and deep conditioned, set my hair with Doo gro Leave in and Garnier Heat protectant spray. I will wrap for tonight and bun until Wednesday.

 

[Brwnbeauti]

When I set, I'm having breaking, like the very ends of my hair snaps, any suggestions on preventing this. Do y'all think my hair is drying too much or something?
Anyway I tried to roll Friday night, here's what happened. Lol

Nice results! I feel your pain on the front growing slowly... People think I have layers on purpose! Nope - just my front doing its own thing.

For me I had to stop using end papers - they were causing my ends to break. Maybe give that a try and make sure your ends a super wet when you roll.

Well I finished the henna and I have my curlformers in. I'm going to sleep in them tonight and we'll see how they come out tomorrow. This was honestly a lot of work. I definitely will not be doing the henna treatment for a long, long while.

 

[Blairx0]

Heena seems so messy. I use cassia and i just mix it in my conditioner. A full treatment is too much for me. I can't wait to see your performers. I have some I'm.thinkin of dusting off

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

Full head rollerset after washing out henna. Love the color release. Can't wait to see it dry in the morning.

 

[Napp]

I will post the results of my next roller set soon. I am in love with my current combo!(products from my black friday haul)

 

[Dee Raven]

Well, It started off good, see pics 1 and 2. I used Giovanni's leave in. When I first took the curlformers out the curls were defined, super soft. I could feel that they didn't really have much control but they were so soft so I was happened. The problem came when I tried to separate the curls. The top of my hair and bottom have a type of texture where they are able to hold onto the curls with frizzing. But the middle part, good lord. It frizzed right up. See pictures 3 and 4. I think that next week, I'm going to try a little bit of gel, and I'm going to try to make smaller sections in the top back section. also, I need to do a better job of curling the back so it doesn't leave such an evident part.
