Setting to Success 2014 Challenge

Nyssa28 What about a chunky braid out with perm rods on the ends? Granted my hair was already stretched, this style took me about 15-20 mins to do and it lasted maybe 5 days with pineapple'ing at night. Braid your hair just until you leave the scalp, then smooth and roll the length on perm rods or whatever rollers you like. I'll attach some pics showing what I mean. You can also try a ponytail set. Well a lot of Ladies say that this method shaves off setting time but it takes me around the same amount of time as a normal set. So I tend to save those for when I need to trim.

Very pretty! I like how beach wavy your hair is. Maybe I need to try chunkier braids to get this look.

Nyssa28 I just wanted to share my blog post about rolling with conici rollers. I really love them once I got the hang of them. The thing about these rollers is that they are wider than a regular roller. So instead of doing a Mohawk, I divide my hair into 4 sections and put 3 rollers per section. Doing it this way cuts down on my rolling time. I set like this when I know I am going to use a flat iron after roller setting.

I like this concept! Where did you purchase your rollers? Napp

Results of my curlformer set dried with the LCL dryer.

I should get my roller setting DVD tomorrow, so I'll watch it this weekend. Next wash day, I'll try an actual roller set with my Italian mesh rollers.
 
Does anyone know what happened to the fashion megastore? I need some french mesh rollers for a friend. Where is everyone buying their rollers from?

A good wash and roller set is calling my name. My french braid is frizzy & dusty looking but I just need it to get me through a football game today lmbo
 
Finally set today after possibly a couple months. Went back to an old favorite: CHI Silk Infusion. I did regular rollers in the back and pony tail rollers in the front.

I plan to use my centre rollers to speed up dry time.

Next time i will plan to my weekends better

Rollerset was bust. Even with my vented rollers I still had sections of damp hair

I was too sleepy to care. I took out the rollers put in flexi rods and went to sleep.

When I woke up my hair was still damp. This lo po life is for real.
 
Anybody setting this weekend? I was thinking of doing a flexi rod set and enjoy wearing my hair out for the week. That is, until I checked the weather and realized we are having 94+ temperatures next week. So magnetic roller set- turned into a french braid- for another week it is. Hopefully I can get a flexi set in just in time for the fall festival activities I'm taking my kids to in a few weeks. I envision my hair blowing in the wind & flying all around my face while I'm on the hay ride! lmbo
 
Yawning under the dryer. I hope my hair dries soon. I normally need two hours to dry, but I am hopefully that the setting lotion will help my hair dry faster

Thanks I have some that you are trying to get rid of and they are not as heavy as the French mesh. I was going to give some of mine to my niece if I could get some more but now I think I am just going to give her some of my plastic mesh

Got a head full of rollers in and about to make some shrimp tacos for lunch :lick:

Oh and I had to throw away a bag of rollers that were snagging my hair. They were at least 5 years old & flimsy. Poured out a lil liquor for my dead homies! lmbo :lachen::lachen:

thanks girl! lulu97 :) I'm happy to find 2 products that I can use on my hair...and they're cheap & super easy to make! Lol so much for spending money this whole year trying to find the holy grail setting product when all along all I had to do was boil some flax seeds :lol: I think the marshmallow root helped with the shine & hold too. I also stopped using the trader joe's tea tree tingle shampoo & conditioner, that ish was drying my hair out!

you had me rolling with the "Poured out a lil liquor for my dead homies! " LOL. they're in a better place now.
 
When I finally take my sew in out I'm going to let my hair breath for a week b4 getting another sewin so I'm going to rollerset! I may end up doing my curl formers or flexirods. I usually always do curlformers and haven't tried flexirods on my hair yet. This is going to be exciting to try.
 
Air dried this set while I cooked lunch, then dinner & watched football games. Decided to do a twisted updo for the week instead of my normal french braid.

I did a full head rollerset. I set in front of the fan for 20 minutes and then under the dryer for 20 minutes on medium heat and it was surprisingly dry! I then pin curled it. Won't take out til Monday
