- Thread starter Blairx0
- Start date
Blairx0, I am going to put it in a loose ponytail on the top of my head and loosely cover it with a scarf. If I had a bonnet, I would use that.

It's the Karishma Herbal Henna for like $2.99. Like a dummy I mixed the whole pack and have enough for like 4 applications so I froze the rest.

Hey ladies! I just got done setting and I must say this time was much better. I used less product and stayed under the dryer a little longer. I even went the extra mile and pin curled my hair for tonight.
Tomorrow is an all day travel day so I'll have pics around dinner time. Wish me luck.

I used the green and pink ones. The green is one size up from the pink ones. I bought them at Sally's not sure what brand they are. Thanks

Yep. And I had no little crisp hairs this time. I made sure my hair was soaked and didn't use end papers

That's great! We'll all be rollersetting masters in no time ;-). My last rollerset was successful only the curls don't last so I'm trying setting lotion this time and maybe smaller rollers for a curlier look.

Altruisticoam, your set turned out nice. Gives me inspiration.

I just had of THE most aggravating setting sessions EVER! I'm so mad I can just cry :-((. I can't get the rollers to go in the direction it should go and when I do get them rolled, my pin placement takes hair from another roller, UGH 
(. If this set comes out decent I will be completely surprised. The only good thing that came from this setting session is my Pibbs Quik Dri, thank goodness for this thing because it only takes 35 minutes to dry.
How long did it takes you pros to get the hang of it? Sessions like today makes me want to give up but I'm determined to get it this time around because I gave up once before.

How long does it take you all to set? It takes me ain't 3 hours which is why I stopped doing it. I've been using the Mohawk method of Parting my hair. I'd like to try a different method similar to how my stylist does but I can't find a video to show me how. Basically you put the rollers in. Rows across your head and put them in the direction you want the curls to fall. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The mohawk method took me too long on natural hair. I now roll my hair in 3 sections. Still in rows, but I do the entire back, which is also my least tight curl, and then the front in two sections. Ironically, it looks the same, but takes me 45 mins to roll instead of an hour and half

My rollerset was a bust. I can't for the life of me get my crown curls tight enough, they pretty much fall straight. It's not that it's too much product because the nape and sides look fine. I tried to curl it with my flat iron and that was an epic fail, me and flat irons are enemies. I had the temp on 280 then realized I must have accidentally turned it to 400+, ugh, I'm soo mad.
We seriously need a Q&A for rollersetting because apparently watching dozens of YouTube videos isn't working. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening??

Next time I'll time myself. I'm sure it took me 1.5 hours today.

I think its the angle at which you are rolling that is causing a different result. Next time you roll see if you are rolling at a different angle when you do those parts.
