Did another rollerset. I used my FB rollers and put my hair into large bantu knots over night. Sorry for the dark photo!

I haven't done a real roller set in around 6 months, but I'll be doing one on the first day of spring. I'll be sure to stop in and share some pics!

And now y'all got me wanting those hourglass rollers in the last video posted. Do I need them? Nope! But I feel like I should have them!

Joining!!!


Current hair length:

*Tailbone


Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd:

*Natural

Current Setting method and styling choices:

*Method:
I don't have a method that I favor over the other really. I did the Mohawk method so long that I started noticing breakage in the very front of my hair. So now I just kinda grab and roll...just as long as all the rollers fit.

Styling:
After setting, I like to brush out the curls, then cross wrap for a straight look. I never wear the curls.


Current Setting products:

*leave in & serum or just one or the other.

How long have you been setting?

*15 plus years?

Thing(s) you would like to work on/are hoping to achieve:

*Just to show a little length every now and then.

How often do you plan to set?:
Post a beginning picture (encouraged but not required)

*Seasonally. I have too much hair and not enough "hair energy" to commit to more than that. Roller setting to me these days is more of a treat to wear my hair down.


Looking forward to all the sets to come from you lovely Ladies!

When you do your rollersets, how do you normally wear your hair on a daily basis? Also, does it stay as sleek/straight as in the pics when you just take down the rollers? Your hair is so long and thick I'd imagine that you have a nice big healthy bun to make.

I usually wear my hair in a bun unless I'm going out. I can wear my sets down almost 2 weeks after setting if I Bantu knot the night before. They help to keep my hair straight without adding heat.

Love the sets @faithVA and @AgeinATL

Thanks for the information @southerncitygirl, but I figure the artificial sweetener is no worse for me than the salad dressing I put on my salads or the French fries and other not so good for me foods I eat occasionally. This isn't the only way I'm getting vegetables in my system, just an additional way

Slept with henna in my hair last night. Today I washed it out with conditioner, and deep conditioned.

Set with SSI Coco creme leave in, and Elasta Qp design foam.
Used magnetic rollers.

I gotta upgrade to other rollers. I was under the dryer 2 hours, and some parts didn't fully dry.
But it still came out well.

Welp! I did a rollerset with the magnetic rollers and my ends were smooth only bc everything but my roots are heat damaged. My roots came out kinda dry and crunchy. I def need to order these hourglass rollers to hopefully get a smoother rollerset.

[Curls&Justice417]

I plan to do another curlformer set this weekend. I bought a 40 pack of knock off long curlformers (pink and orange ones) for $10.66 after shipping! They came in less than a week I saw a girl on YouTube who did a set with both the spiral and the barrel ones and it came out cuuuute so maybe when I get better at them I'll experiment with both sizes.

LOL! Thanks!

I rarely get to use it. I have three boys. I'm lucky if they let me brush my teeth without bugging me.

 

[Britt]

I should be getting my hourglass rollers this weekend! I can't wait to try them out !!!!! I spent so much time looking at the IG videos of them being used.

 

[Britt]

LOL! Thanks!

Wow! How do you find the time to rollerset and dry lol.

 

[AgeinATL]

LOL! Girl, Saturday is 'mom day'. I wake up my husband and pass them off. I am not to be disturbed until I am done with my hair. Everybody knows the routine. Gotta start them early.

I like that! Enjoy your beauty time girl !

 

[Curls&Justice417]

I managed to do a curlformer set that I'm happy with! I used the orange and pink spiral ones this time. It's amazing what a little bit of neat parting/sectioning and patience will do! Lol I really took my time with this one and made sure to not overload my hair with too much product. My hair is soft, shiny, and bouncy.
I'll take a picture tomorrow after I separate and style.
