I just keep mine standing in my room. It really doesn't take up a ton of space anyway.

I have a home office so I have it side-by-side with my pro steamer. It's my designated steam and dry area so it stays out at all times.

What are you using as a leave in? I use a small tooth comb for my sets and I promise you there are never more than 5 hairs in the comb. I know that is all due to my leave in (It's a 10) being SUPER slippery and just melting any tangles away.
I store my dryer in the garage and just roll it out when I'm ready to use it. Same with my steamer.

When I roller set I only use chi silk infusion and LottaBody because I don't want to weigh my hair down, but maybe I need something with more slip.

It's pricey but I justify it by telling myself that no other leave in can beat it's performance. Plus you only need small amount...when I roller set I divide my hair in 5 sections and only use 2-3 pumps per section. So one bottle can last me around 8 months. I buy it once a year when Target has their BOGO free salon product sale so in a sense I get 2 for the price of one.

Yes in roller setting, slip makes the difference. You lose less hair and the entire set and roots comes out smoother. I'm not a product pusher but if I was Oprah I would buy a bottle of that stuff for every woman in the world. tee hee hee

Hmmm. Maybe I can try using more Chi Silk Infusion to get better slip. I have a huge bottle and it was pricey and I only use it for roller setting. I would hate for it to go to waste.

Chi works really well. Especially for textured hair.

I pineappled my hair overnight and during my workout this morning. I gently combed with a wide tooth comb (I've always been afraid this would ruin my curls) but I like the results. I think my curls would be a little smoother today if I had used my satin rollers last night but its good enough.

lulu97 have you tried any of the other It's a 10 products? I was in Ulta today and decided to purchase their miracle daily conditioner and hair mask. I ordered the Carol's Daughter Chocolate blow dry cream and monoi heat foaming product, so I didn't purchase the leave in, but I'm curious about it.
I don't usually use silicones, but I want to protect my hair from the indirect heat of the Pibbs and see if they help with reversion of my sets.

wow everyone's sets look so lovely! I rollerset with the orange and pink curlformers last Wednesday night (1/16) and that set lasted only one day! I was so upset. I feel like I can't find the right products to make my curls last, and it's getting expensive having to constantly buy and try new products. On Wednesday I used Kinky Curly Knot Today as my leave-in and Lottabody to set (1 part Lottabody, 4 parts water). The Curlformer set before that, I used the Kinky Curly Curling Custard (gel) to set and that didn't give my hair a good hold either. Maybe I needed to use more gel? Getting kind of frustrated...
On the plus side, at least Curlformers give me stretched-out hair=better twist-outs...just wish I could have my curls a little longer before they start looking like frizzy dreads

lulu97 I have it's a 10 , I like it, it does detangle well, I feel like I have to use a lot though
You know what's strange? I loved the sally knockoff of it better!
sharifeh lol When I first started using it a few years ago, I used a lot too. Then I started paying more attention to the amount my hair stylist was using on me and I noticed she was using like half the amount I was. So I followed suit.

toaster I've never tried any other products from their line. I get samples of the hair mask all the time attached around the neck of the leave in but I always throw them away. I've never been interested to try it since I already had a staple mask. lol

I killed my curls :-(
Before I went to bed I combed my hair with a wide tooth comb put it in a pony on top of my head and put in 7 curlformers (1 1/4"). Today my hair is mostly straight and in a bun. Sigh... I will never comb my curls again, but I'm going to try and revive them tonight with my small satin rollers 5/8". The curlformers may just have been too big to get good curls.
ETA since my curls are dead I'm just wearing a tucked under ponytail/bun.

My plans for tonight include steaming with Its a 10 DC, rinsing, and doing a curlformers set with Its a 10 leave in (my cvs didn't have it but Walgreens did) and lottabody diluted with water. Hoping to have a shiny set to separate in the morning for my pictures.
I'll keep you all updated.

Fresh roller set!
I did a few new things:
1) Tried the mohawk method
2) Let the rollers cool for 1 hour after coming from under the dryer before removing them.
Small tweaks for big results. Loved how my set turned out. I really had no need to stretch my roots with the bantu knots cause they were already pretty straight...but I'm a creature of habit so I did anyway. Including a pic of that for GettingKinky who was asking about the placement of my bantu knots after I set.
