Alright @KammyGirl thats how you join a thread! Lovely hair!
Thanks ladies! I'm going to try just sleeping on my pillowcase and see how that goes.

@AgeinATL i have pink and white halo rollers i would like to depart with. Ive used them four times and decided my fine low density hair is too fragile for the rollers. If you want to purchase them let me know.
Where do you get your silk headbands? I need them in my life like yesterday.
Thank you! Let's see if this can last me through the weekend.
I'm hoping I start retaining better. I'm going to be more gentle and careful this time around. No tight rollers and always use my end papers no matter how annoyed I am with the idea.

I get my silk ones from here:
http://www.prettyanntoinets.com/dupion-silk-habutai-silk-wrap-ups/wrap-up-black/
I do realize it's expensive for a headband, but I've had this one for 2 years and it feels wonderful. I get all my silk stuff from here (pillow cases, scarves, headbands & beanies) I wouldn't recommend the bonnets as the elastic stretched out too much on the ones I did purchase.
If the headband is too expensive for your taste, then there is a company that sells satin ones for like $8 or $9. I have a lot of those too, but I don't care much for them because they slide off through the night. I only wear them every now and again. The company is called bon bon cheavoux (sp)?

That is so kind of you! But I am going to go ahead and pick up the French rollers. Thanks again for offering!
I am in love with that website!! Everything seems decently priced to me and I like that there's care instructions. I would definitely care more about my "hair lingerie" as the site calls it if I got these. Bookmarked to purchase some things. Thanks @lulu97

OT: I just got my tgin sample pack. The shampoo was left open and spilled in the pack. I called them 3x with no call back, so I had to email them. I finally got a response and they will send me out another. They made a potentially bad situation good!
So I had only used the dc and loved it, so I wanted to try the line.
So far.....................not to good. I put in the leave-in on damp hair, not wet hair as the packet said. I sealed with a mix of the butter cream moisturizer mixed with whipped shea butter mix. My hair feels "coated" and the leave-in made my hair feel somewhat hard.....not a good start. I have my hair in a rollerset and I am under the dryer. We will see how this turns out, b/c I am NOT re-washing.

@ajargon02 Hope it turns out well for you! I haven't tried their shampoo or DC. the only product I tried was the Twist and Curl Creme. Let us know how you like the other products.

Hair cheat day! Did a satin roller set ontop of my old curlformer set I did last Sunday night.
Used-
Moisturizer: Water mixed with Joico conditioner in a spray bottle
Oil: Argan
Results:
My curls shrink up to shoulder length as usual, but I can tell that my hair is longer because the curls feel heavier. There's a lot more weight in them than usual, so I know that my hair is retaining length from all the extra protective styling and pampering I've been giving to it, like a good hair mommy.

Starting the process of taking out my braids tonight!! 
I should be down by early tomorrow. I bought some jumbo perm rods because I tried rolling my aunts hair with the French bouffant rollers (her hair is the same length as mine) and they only wound once. I could barely tuck the ends in. So until my hair grows I'll be jumbo rolling it and air drying.
I added a picture of which jumbo rollers I'll be using and the video of how I'll be doing it. Except instead of using foam I will be using setting lotion. My hair prefers the lotion, the foam doesn't give my hair any hold and makes it frizzy and tangle

Quick question:How do you ladies feel about scrunchies?
I read a while back that they cause breakage and I haven't used them in at least two years.
I wear my hair in bunned twists and I usually achieve that with either pins or an ouchless barette. It didn't matter then because my twists were too short to look cute in a bun anyway.
Now my hair is long enough for me to do a top knot on my twists with a scrunchie and it looks so cute I don't want to go back to the clip.
TLDR; Do you think scrunchies (like Goody Ouchless elastics) cause breakage?

Ok, so tgin is NOT for me. I am so glad I got a sample pack. All the products I used (the green tea leave-in, twist and butter cream) left my hair coated and hard. I am debating re-washing my hair.
I know I like the dc, bc I used it in the past. I hope I like the shampoo and conditioner though.

@MileHighDiva, no I haven't used them. I was scared they would tangle up in my hair. Have you used/found satin elastics? Those sound awesome.
@toaster, thanks! I hadn't thought of those. I don't think my hair would like them very much though.

When my hair was shorter, I used to maintain my roller sets by doing 1 to 3 bantu knots and I would secure them with scrunchies. They were more comfortable to sleep in than Bobby pin's and kept the bantu knots secure. I now use ribbon ties, as they work well to secure my top knots or when I'm doing an updo/pineapple. I purchase them from the dollar store...they come about 8 or 10 in a pack for 1 dollar. (can't remember)

I totally forgot to do a review on the Snappees!! Thanks for the reminder
For anyone who doesn't care about too much about a really tight hold/ponytail, they're pretty good. I cover up the snap part and pull it on with ease just like a normal tie. I've also used them as a headband (3 snapped together) when I have curlformers in and had no issues (not a tight pullback but it kept my curls out of my face). Taking it off, I just unsnap and it unwraps right away. Occasionally a stray hair or two get caught in the snap somehow but I usually can maneuver it out with no fuss.
I haven't seen any breakage from it (that I've noticed) and I normally wear them a week at a time. I reach for my Snappees (and my satin scrunchies for securing buns) more often than my Goody seamless ties.
Summary: be mindful of the snap when applying & as long as a tightly pulled ponytail isn't your goal, I'd recommend them
Hope that helps!

@MileHighDiva, thanks! I'll look into them and some satin scrunchies.
@lulu97, I'm interested in those ribbon ties too. I'll have to wait until I'm in the States again to pick up a pack.
