Setting to Success 2014 Challenge

I've been sick all week but I'm hoping I feel at least at 95% tmrw then I won't be afraid of getting worse and I can set!
 
I found a straight haired natural youtuber today. Sistawithrealhair. Her rollersets are crazy good. I watched like 10 of her vids. I wonder how she gets her hair so shiny...

Im going to set my hair on magnetic rollers for my bday in June. Maybe if I watch enough videos and practice enough I can finally do a good set. I am out of my beloved chi silk infusion. Gotta order some more asap. It detangles my hair like no other serum can

She use high heat and no heat protectant because she use conditioners with cones in it. She also uses paper towels on her rollers for extra tension

Update:) I think I'm going to be addicted to roller-setting. It's so much less fuss with shorter hair and one texture instead of two! After removing rollers hair was really stretched with a nice fluffy curl. Roots after silk wrap. Threw in some flat twists. I need to buy some pretty gold bobby pins for this style! Loving it!!!

Looks wonderful! Very beautiful and easy style.
 
High heat followed by blast of cold air is key to shine IMO. (Not entirely sure that the high heat necessary for a great set is kind to your scalp on a regular basis so ...)

... finally managed to get my wash n' go presentable for public viewing (i.e., no ducking behind the produce if I run into people I know at the grocery store --yes, my prior attempts were THAT bad). So, now that the hotter weather is here, I think I'm going to use up my conditioner stash and take a break from any heat at all -- alas, I'll miss my dryer.

Thanks love :) I did.

I used Curls fruit control paste for the very first time & LOVED it. It gave an amazing amount of "control" without reversion and made my hair feel firm but not hard with a high shine. 3 days later my twists still look brand new; This just might be HG! Lol. I did use quite a bit though so for 7.99 I wish it came in a larger size... :(

Very cute. How do you maintain your style?
 
So i have recently dusted off my curlformers and posted a review about it here.

But my bootleg curlformers are 16 inches unstrecthed which means they are now a bit too short. My ends are starting to hang out a bit. So that means I need something longer, but I want to keep the barrel curls. What do you ladies think of these:http://www.ebay.com/itm/111093039925
 
does anyone use product after setting?

like use leave in etc before rollers but do you use anything after removing the rollers?
 
In my best Beyonce voice, "I been slacking. I been slacking."

I've been so hair lazy. Last week I got out of rhythm & didn't set my hair & this week I just don't feel like doing anything. I just did a pre-poo to force myself to wash my hair. I'll wash & set some time tomorrow.

Does anyone in this thread have Caruso experience? I was thinking about just airdrying sometimes & then using Carusos to set my hair. Since it's technically steam, do you think that could be damaging? TIA...

naptural85 just did a steam roller video. Two actually, but the second video shows how she got better results. I think because you're relaxed it might work even better (or at least last longer) on you!

Blairx0 I think those rollers look good! I would still use the real curlformer hook though.
 
You ladies are going to give me the extreme side ye, but i STILL have these curlfromers in. I have no where to go this weekend and the beloved boyfriend is out of town, so me and curlformers are doing housework and lounging. I have had them in since Saturday morning and i will likely leave them in to Monday morning.

Go ahead and judge me. These curls are going to be fierce

I just don't know how your able to sleep with them. If they were comfortable then I would do that too. That whole putting it up on the top of the head hurts just try to attempt to get it up there. I get straight to my roots

I couldn't sleep in the extra long and wide kind ( pink and orange), but the extra wide ( deep magenta and yellow) are no problem to sleep on for me. I hardly notice and I don't arrange them in any special way.
 
Blairx0 I'm burning up under the dryer right now! Ha! But I imagine this set won't look any different than the last few sets I've done. I'm a perm rod setter for life, I'm sure.

Really? It is that great,huh? I must be missing out. I don't need another roller, rod or curler, but if you say it is great...

They really work for me. I could not get my ends straight on the magnetic rollers and I couldn't deal with the extra texture I was getting with the capelli rollers, so these are the best of both worlds for me. I do think the dry time is longer than on the vented rollers. If you're happy with the halo/curlformers I wouldn't buy more rollers... unless you're super curious. :yep:

Thanks :) I use my silk scarf over the twists and a bonnet over the curls. Haven't added any extra product. I believe this is day 6. I fluff with my fingers in the am.

I may re-set the back & try to get another week...

Yep. I use a wax or pomade to separate & seal the curls on my flexi rod clients. Locks out moisture & gives megawatt shine :)
