I just started using satin rollers this week. I got a pack of 16, and I use all of them. For some reason pincurling has stopped working for me, so I decided to give satin rollers a go. I've only used them once, so I can't do a full review on them. But they do preserve my curl better than flexirods. They are quite small, and my hair is APL and shorter than yours, so I can see how they may not work for someone with longer hair. What I do is combine two or three curls together and wrap them around one roller (after moisturizing & sealing).
I'm flattered to be in the same sentence as those two natural hair gurus
don't they have such beautiful heads of hair? I hope the Camille Rose Curl Maker works for you! It doesn't define my curls. What I do is spritz the section of hair with my leave-in, smooth it with my denman brush, then add the gel. Next, I add the roller, making sure there is enough tension on the hair. That way, my hair takes the shape of the roller- be it perm rods or curlformers. What did you used to use as a setting lotion?
After my Camille Rose Curl Maker is done, I want to try their Whipped Aloe Gel. I discovered that my hair loooves aloe vera juice when I add it to my deep conditioner, so I'm curious to see how it would react to a setting lotion with aloe vera in it. I wish the CR Whipped Aloe gel came in a pump jar too though.
Does anyone here use Camille Rose Whipped Aloe Hair Gel or aloe vera gel in general to set?
