“setting To Success” 2016

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?

I LOVE scrunchies @Colocha I use silk scrunchies for my hair. Wear them every day to make my buns. The spin pin doesn't work for me. Bought a pack of 20 silk scrunchies on Etsy a while back. Ribbon ties tangle in my hair since they're so thin but silk scrunchies are thick, smooth to the touch and don't leech moisture from my hair.

!! That sounds awesome too. Do you remember what site you bought them from?

Well I didn't wash my hair. But I learned my lesson and thoroughly detangled with coconut oil. Will set tomorrow after work.

Went to yoga this morning! Keeping up with my Setting sisters that are working out. Afterwards, applied my DC mixed with aloe vera juice to dry hair and sat under the dryer for 30 min, then washed it out with ACV rinse. Air-dried under my microfiber turbie-twist towel. Snapped a pic of my natural curl pattern. This is my damp hair after taking down it out of the turbie twist. No product in my hair. Twisted it up to run errands before coming back home to do my curl former set

Found it! @Colocha Made a mistake- was actually a pack of 12. $10. Totally worth it https://www.etsy.com/listing/113798371/12-silk-satin-hair-scrunchies-black

 

[coilyhaircutie]

Only thing- shipping takes foreeeever since the seller is in Asia. Took like 3 weeks. I personally think it's worth it because normally it's $10 for ONE silk scrunchie here in the U.S. *rolls eyes* Silk is cheaper there than here. I sleep in these silk scrunchies too, they're so comfortable

@coilyhaircutie
You are the

I made it through the whole weekend being all disciplined and stuff. Resisting sales etc.

Then here you come posting 12 silk scrunchies for $10. That's an excellent price! Just hit Pay Now

 

[Colocha]

@coilyhaircutie, Ahhh! That's so perfect. Buying for myself right now. They should be home by the time I get there.

 

[Colocha]

Noooo! @MileHighDiva took the last one.

Ahh, thanks! I didn't realize these were silk too. I see she has it in the description.

 

[coilyhaircutie]

I have an event to go to so, instead of doing my hair spoil day Sunday, I'm moving it to Tuesday night...

 

[Colocha]

I'm going to use my Pureology shampoo and conditioner for this wash, and when I wash again on Saturday I'll use my Mizani products.

The Thermasmooth products do help with reversion as my hair poofed in the humidity this weekend, and when I used the Thermasmooth set my hair didn't revert nearly as much.

I think I want to try a magnetic rollerset this coming weekend. I had all but given up on them because I felt like they were as good as they were going to get for me but I'm ready to try again.

 

[AgeinATL]

I went ahead and ordered two packs of the French rollers (1.6 size). So excited to give them a try because I really would love to get back to rollersetting. Haven't done it yet with my natural hair. Thanks ladies to all of you who helped and answered my questions.

 

[toaster]

@AgeinATL thanks to you I was able to buy those white and pink halo rollers off of a member at a great discount!

Of course I'm still planning on perfecting my wash and go and getting a deva cut, but those rollers need to be in my collection.

 

[Janet']

Hey Lovely Ladies...Sitting on my bed with my DC concoction and plastic cap. I'm gonna wear a hat tomorrow and tomorrow night I'll rollerset.

So my mom did my rollerset. My hair was much longer than I thought it was. It's grown so much! So she rolled my hair with the bouffant rollers. Problem is my moms not used to rolling natural hair, only relaxed. So I know for a fact it won't be smooth but at least be stretched

It's nice to have someone else do it

 

[toaster]

I'm jealous @L.Brown1114! Your hair looks smooth on the rollers.

I'm under the dryer with a quick set. Used 16 of my blue hourglass rollers.

I was supposed to wash and set today....didn't happen. I did manage to exercise, do a steam facial and go get a manicure though. I'll do it on Wendsday for sure though.

Lol sounds like you had a full pampering day.

 

[Rocky91]

so......my hair is perfect today.
let me share what i did last night:
cowash with tresemme.
apply miss jessie's leave-in (love it) and elasta qp foam wrap
braided the first inch or so of hair, then set on flexirods. my hair was in quadrants and i had about 4 braids per quadrant so about 16 braids total.

took it down this morning with some serum.
it looked really shrunken so i blasted my roots with my blowdryer on warm while tugging on them.

and it's perfect. is there an easy way to post pictures on here? i doubt i can still get into my fotki-blast from the past.

 

[toaster]

So who's going to order one and report back?

 

[flyygirlll2]

@toaster ooooh that looks interesting

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

@toaster Looks like a huge mushroom

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

I don't think that would work with my dryer though! LOL

Are you trying to post pictures from your mobile device or desk/laptop?

I post from my phone and there is an "upload file" option below the posting section. I'm not sure how it works on laptops and desktops.
