I've been really sick, but I really needed to wash my hair. So I did a set today using both hourglass and magnetic rollers. I used Alfaparf Cioccolato Hydratying Hair Lotion mixed water in a spray bottle, and also used Sweet Curls Flax/Okra Defining Gel Elixer.

I sat under my bonnet dryer for an hour and a half. I got my roots to stretch somewhat this time but I still had some poof. I have sections of my nape that is already natural (15 months post)
The ends are bushy even though I dust/trim it. I used a comb and brush, but the ends were still bushy when it dried :rolleyes:

NICE WORK
 
I have returned to beach and took down my very fuzzy braids.

This far I have:
Shampoo'd twice
Slept in a moisture treatment
Shampoo'd the treatment out
Spent an hour+ with a yogurt cassia treatment
Co-washed that out
Rolled my hair

and now i am finally under the dryer. If i see one fleck of sand when i take down these rollers I am going to cry!

@AgeinATL I post from my phone so this is what I do.

Click upload a file under the box where you write out your post
Click choose file and select the picture you want to upload
It goes into thinking mode trying to attach which takes forever, so a trick I learned is to log out after you attach then log back in. The pic will be saved in the thread post, all you have to do is attach it as a full image or attachment.
Seems like a lot but it's faster than resizing. The pictures come out big in the post...I don't mind and if anybody else does they can just close their eyes. LOL.

Ok, here goes...

This is my very first attempt at a perm rod set. I used the jumbo rods on stretched hair. I should have used a styler with more hold because it was frizzy by the end of the day. Excuse the angle, but this was the only angle that would fit all my hair in it!!

Any tips on stylers that give more hold without hardness/crunch?

ETA: Can ya'll see the picture? Did I insert it correctly?

Awwww sorry girl, I've never visited the site from my desktop...it's always occupied by one of my lil goobers. (Children) lol

When I tried to look at your picture, it says I do not have access to view the album so maybe it went into a private album? I wish we didn't have to jump through hoops to post pictures. It used to be so easy before the app went away and the forum was updated.

Beautiful hair @AgeinATL ! I'm sorry I can't help with holding products, I only use a leave in since I'm not particularly trying to hold my curls.

Do you live in a humid area? I ask because your hair looks similar to my hair when I go to Miami. My sets just poof, so I've stopped trying to fight it and rocks poofy pony tail.
 
@AgeinATL
I post pics from my phone. Have no idea how it works from an desktop.

I select More Options. If I upload a file from bottom of thread, it don't show up on my post.
From More Options page I select upload a file and choose a file. Once I select a file (pic) I see my pic in a thumbnail next to Close option.
Than select close.
Next thing I do is hit Reply to Thread. And my pic is there in my post.
I don't wait for pic to load, that takes forever and not necessary to wait on.

You can load multiple pics this way too. Just choose a file than close it, than select Upload a File again and repeat.

Thanks Toaster and yes, I live in Atlanta, the humidity capital of the freakin world. Perhaps you are right, preventing frizz and poofiness just may not be possible.

@AgeinATL,
Your volume is FIRE! You're giving me Big Hair Betty or Paging Dr. Dre volume, :yep: :gorgeous: What product did you set with? Did you use the SSI Coco Creme?
Click to expand...

Thanks girl! I won't lie, the density makes me look funny at times. I have a skinny body with a mass of hair...walking around looking like a microphone.

For this set, yes, I used the Shescentit coco creme and I used some Bee Mine curly butter to set. My hair was soft but the style didn't hold very long.
