@MileHighDiva i saw your post in the DC thread. I hadn't seen the key hair visor looking device, but for some reason it cracked me up! We will do and wear anything for our hair.

Regarding the bolded,

So who's going to order one and report back?View attachment 355113 View attachment 355115 View attachment 355117

I was looking for those. These should shorten your drying time since all of the air stays circulating around your hair.

I will put this on my wish list. I don't have a regular dryer but I want to get one of these while I can still find it.

Looks like a big balloon. Lol Wait so you can attach this to a hooded dryer? Nice to know this is an option because my face gets so hot I don't even close the visor on my dryer anymore.

 

[L.Brown1114]

Ugh. So I air dried because I still haven't gotten around to getting my dryer and it turned out horrible! Super soft, but a frizzy hot mess! Now I gotta co wash tomorrow and do a twist out. Next time I'm doing perm rods

 

[Rozlewis]

I will be getting back to roller setting now that I have a fresh relaxer. I hope to post pics soon.

 

[LdyKamz]

My perm rod set is finished and it's only day 3. I lasted longer than expected since I can't keep a style at all.

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

Go mom! It's nice to have support!

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.

I'm just waiting on the pics... did you ever find out how to to post? I remember your hair from years ago!

Yeah, I probably spent almost $100 on those conventional rollers...only to realize that perm rods and flexi rods are the way to go for me...you live and you learn, I guess

 

[Janet']

Sitting under the dryer now for about an hour and then I'm going to let it air dry for another two hours before I take the rollers out.

I will post them when I am back on my phone!

Yeah they are too big to get your roots. They are not good rollers to me. I was doing well with my jumbo perm rod set, I should have just finished that

 

[KinksAndInk]

I don't have the energy to do a perm rod set and I don't feel like sleeping in 50+ perm rods so I'm doing a twist and curl this week.

This right here is the worse part of the process for me...maybe I can alleviate that part when I get my Pibbs or (dupe)..That way, the only thing I'll be sleeping in are the ones to refresh the curls...

I was thinking about a Pibbs but it won't be until after I move to Arizona and can set up my beauty room.

This is what I do. I stopped sleeping in mine mainly because I thought it was to much stress on my hair. Now under the dryer I go, put my bonnet on and separate the next morning.

 

[LdyKamz]

Going to cowash tonight and see if I can do a wash and go for tomorrow then do a perm rod set on Thursday. Thursday is my regular mid week wash day but my scalp is itchy for some reason so I'll get it over with today.

Do a jumbo perm rod set! (The torquoise and black ones) I only needed 24 to do a whole head!

I have some black ones that I've been trying to use more. I might try them out next week. I need to grab some turquoise ones. I just love my orange and peach ones. They give me the perfect set.

I DEF WILL.
I hate the heat from the dryer getting on my neck, ears, and forehead.

 

[bluenvy]

Did my wash, and dc tonight.
Set hair with magnetic rollers. Used Camille Rose coconut leave in, Organix coconut serum, and Elasta QP foam.

A lot going on tonight, so air drying into the morning then will sit under dryer for a bit.

 

[MileHighDiva]

Tonight's Curlformer set. I needed my hair straight, so I could dust/trim.

What are conventional rollers? Magnetics? Mesh?

Thank you, Ladies!

@lulu97, I considered taking the FHI Stylus to my roots to get them straight straight. However, I decided against it. I need this style to get me through Easter Sunday.

 

[toaster]

@MileHighDiva how do you like the fhi stylus? Do you think it's comparable to the apalus brush? I've decided if I straighten at home it will be post roller set as that stretches my hair the best.

@PlainJane if you order that dryer mushroom heat protector please let me know how it works!
