Setting to Success 2013

[DominicanBrazilian82]

MileHighDiva... Had the LCL first... Then got the Pibbs for my birthday in November. Love them both. I think they work exactly the same. Heat is heat. Some people prefer the flow of heat and adjustment options on the Pibbs vs. LCL. I wouldn't have purchased the Pibbs on my own. I am still in love with my LCL.

Washed and set my hair today then flat ironed my roots/natural hair...about 31 weeks post relaxer



























I love setting my hair... My relaxed and natural hair feels so good

I did a rollerset last night, it turned out so dang dry. I think I need to start using a creamy leave in again.

What did you use?

 

[Blairx0]

Sorry I have been absent ladies. My hair was flat ironed for about two weeks. But I am setting today and excited! I missed my routine and all you ladies. Pictures to come.

to be fixed:

Blairx0 I NEED to know how you achieved this roller set!! It came out so perfect!

 

[Angelinhell]

What did you use?

Some Bb foam and Kenra serum. I think the process really starts at the shampoo, I did 4 lathers with a chelating shampoo. I purchased Design Essentials moisture shampoo tonight though, so I will use it from now on.

Pics!! and the curls held really well actually after they'd fallen so maybe I just need to add a little product because I just set my completely dry hair using only water in the steamer

For my most recent set I :

Shampooed with TJ Nourish spa once and followed up with AsIam Co wash
Deep conditioned with greek yogurt and some oils
Did a moisture dc with some DC i can't remember the name but i bought it off the exchange forum. Normally I use AO HSR.
I towel dried my hair and applied my LI which grape seed oil followed by Giovanni
I then applied Sally's GVP version of Supper Skinny Serum.

I don't mohawk part because I'm not talented. So I grabbed random sections of hair detangled with a fine tooth comb and rolled on fairly large rollers. Maybe 1.5 inches with snap on covers. I bought them at Wilson an Broadway on the north side if you are in Chicago.

I know it seems like alot, but my hair was flat ironed the week previously, so I had a lot to do. Does that makes sense?

Your hair came out great. Your relaxed right? I was so tempted to get some steam rollers, but i doubt I could ever get your results.

Did a roller set last night. I have to admit I am getting better with the rollers.

Four lathers may have been stripping. Did you dc after? My hair only sets well with a dc. Otherwise it comes out frizzy. I'm sure less poo and more moisture will get you back on a roll.

Get it! A roll!

4 lathers of chelating!!! I've only ever done one always follow up with a moisture poo and an intensive DC. Chelating shampoos leave my hair really dry and thirsty. And I only lather once when I poo any other time.

Blairx0 DominicanBrazilian82Yes, I went a little overboard because I had been using this heavy moisturizer and didn't have a clarifying shampoo, also I'm back to relaxing with no-lye, so I'm really paranoid about calcium buildup(despite being a no-lyer for most of the time I've been relaxed, this site has me cautious about everything I do to my hair)

Now that like half my hair is gone i wonder what my rollersets will look like now.

Also i will make sure to shampoo from now on and use a clean rinsing DC because i noticed my hair just isnt the same when I don't.

I timed my rollerset tonight at 30 minutes, granted I did use bigger rollers.....but still

I feel ya! I did a rollerset tonight also. It took about 40 mins and I used larger rollers as well. I use to set on the red, now I use the purple and grey it saves about 10mins.

 

[Nyssa28]

Just rollerset, now under the dryer with the red rollers. I used the Nubian Heritage heat protectant foam....I hope it turns out OK, if not better with this foam.

I'm still rollersetting on each wash day. So far, so good. I'm actually getting better at it and my time has reduced to around 30 mins. I will try to take and post more pics.

 

[Dee Raven]

Well, I guess I'll just be honest. I haven't been rollersetting. I cut off all the heat damage in my hair at the beginning of the year, which left me with two drastically different layers. The top was APL, and the back was a mix of hip, waist and BSL. So needless to say wearing stretched styles outside of twists outs wasn't going to happen. And I lent my curlformers to one of my students.

My update is that I cut all the back to WSL. I'm planning on getting my curlformers back this week so I can try them again. Hopefully it will work out, otherwise the top of my hair should be BSL by July and I'll the back to WSL again so the difference shouldn't be so noticeable anymore.

I am sorry to hear about your set back. I can't speak personally about your situation, but I bet it isn't as bad as you think. My hair has extreme natural layers and I just pin the top shelf ( that is how my hair looks to me like shelfs) and rock the half up half down look.

I am sure you will make it work! Hopefully you get happy with your length and return to what works for you.

 

[TracyNicole]

I'm still setting. I've just gotten into a lazy habit with it I'll try to remember to come in and say hello more often. I've been alternating between rollers and twist outs. Most of my hair is fine but my edges still suck

 

[Lucie]

Thankd for the mention. My rollersetting is coming along just fine. I get it done within 20-30 minutes. The time all depends on whether or not I am chatting while doing it, LOL!
