I think you should. I may try some salon products in the new year.

I saw you can get Mizani liters for $20 on Amazon. If I don't get them for Christmas I'll buy them for myself. Anything moisturizing and anti-humidity is right up my alley.

Which salon products are you interested in?

I don't know. I'm just interested because you mentioned it and it sounded good. :lol: Before you said it I never though about buying any salon products. I will probably just go to the Walmart salon and look around.

I need a gentler shampoo. I definitely don't need a liter though.

I do that too! When I see things mentioned on the board I'm all over it. I was even tea rising a few years ago until it caused breakage. Do you know I still have those tea bags? :lachen::look:

A liter of shampoo will last me more than two years, but I like my bottles to match.

I've always been interested in Joico products. Ugh. One week back in the hair section and I want to buy things.

Girl. That is why I buy my hair products online. Once I step into the BSS, my eyes get greedy. I've been using the Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner. Smells great, and my hair likes it. I have a tiny 8 fl oz bottle of Mixed Chicks kids shampoo. I've legit had that thing for 6 months now, and it still is 3/4 of the way full. Shampoo lasts me foreeever.

Under the dryer. Plan to take pics and post them in the 2016 thread I will start!

Woo I'm under the dryer too. No pics because I'm sure it will look the same as my last two sets.

My rolling muscle memory is coming back after a year off. This was my third set of the year and I rolled in 52 minutes! I also forgot how easy it was to detangle when you go from one set directly into the next set.
 
I did my "length check" and starting picture for the only challenge I'm joining for 2016, setting to success! I'm already in the healthy ends challenge with @faithVA so that takes care of my hair health for next year. I'm almost at... top of my butt crack length. Which is disgusting and there has to be another name for that right? Tailbone??

I see no problem with "booty crack" length hair :lol: Not many can claim that.

Today's set.

I pre-poo'd, washed and DC'd with the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey line. Chi Keratin as a leave in. MoroccanOil serum to set. I had an urge to straighten, but once I saw all these lush, soft and bouncy curls...they were screaming "no mama don't kill us with heat". So like a loving mother, I obliged. My hair is now chilling in a top knot. :drunk:

Those curls are juicy :lick:
 
Spent the weekend in Miami so my set poofed and is over a week old. I will shampoo, detangle, do a short DC, and roll tonight after work. Hoping to make quick work of it as it only needs to last until Sunday.

On Sunday I'm planning a full hair day as I'm overdue for my monthly protein treatment.
 
I'm trying flexi rods in the front with flat twist in the back. If this doesn't work out I will relegate flexi rods to preserving my curlformer sets. I like flexi rods on dry hair but not feeling it on wet hair. Because I'm trying to get tension on the roots they are much more uncomfortable and I definitely can't sleep in them. Perhaps I just need more practice. :ohwell:

I'm under the dryer now. These will be coming out tonight :yep:
 
I will stick to perm rods and curlformers for my wet sets. I will use flexi rods to maintain. The perm rods work better on my current length. They are easier to install for now. I'm sure with more practice I can use the flexi rods but at my current length my hair looks the same as a perm rod set. Probably because I don't know what I'm doing. :lol:

This was just a dry run for the weekend. For the weekend I will do a perm rod set for my Xmas party. I have a feeling I will have to reset Saturday afternoon for Saturday evening. Perhaps that's where my flexi rods come into play.
 
Been trying to wash and roller set my hair since Sunday! Lol

Pre-poo'd with SM Manuka Honey conditioner on Sunday. Didn't feel like washing so it turned into an overnight pre-poo.

Washed with SM manuka honey shampoo and DC'd with MoroccanOil Hydrating Masque on Monday. Didn't feel like roller setting after so I just DC'd my leave in.

Roller set on Tuesday. Wrapped in silk scarf overnight

Flat ironed today on 330 with my FHI platform.

No pics but it's soft and flowy. Yum!
 
Decided to redo the front of my hair. I spritzed it with water and used BlueRoze flaxseed gel and put my hair on perm rods. This should turn out much better. Will wear this until Friday. I will wash and do the style again for the weekend.

If I can figure out a way to smooth my ends without a comb this may be my go to style.

I'll order 3 to be safe. Thanks!
How long does it take you to set with them?
Click to expand...

I bought the short ones and only managed to use them once before I outgrew them:cry3:.

I stay lurking in here but I hardly set my hair. I think it took me about 2hrs to set with them. I just remember wondering why I started, but it was my first time and I'm a slow worker when it comes to hair.
 
My hair was doing OK but with the rain it was starting to poof and I didn't know where it was going to end up. So I put the front curls into puffy flat twist and left a little out for a bang. It worked out nicely. I may even end up wearing it like this over the weekend. Something about hair left out in the front that makes flat twist look a little less casual :yep:
 
I'm not sure how, but I came home from Sally's with 24 2 inch magnetic rollers, Silk Elements Foam Styling Lotion, and 10 Conair Pro roller clips. I hope I fit under the dryer. I'm posting pictures of tomorrow's set in the 2016 thread as my starter pics.
