Definitely! If you type in spiral curlers on ebay there will be a whole bunch of dupes for just a fraction of the price of the real ones. I just pay close attention to where they're shipping from (preferably US) and the seller ratings

The curls were cute, but frizzed something terrible before I even got to work. In the parking lot I put my hair in 2 flat twists

I've been lurking in this thread for months. I tried the method posted by Pokahontas where a girl in a YouTube video brushed all of her hair forward and put two braids in the front. Then rolled them on rollers. Does anyone remember that video? I can't find the video or the post.

Did it work?

I did it on my stretched 4b hair, and it gave me huge, voluptuous waves. A very bold look. Maybe something for special occasions.

Fabulous. If you do it again, please share. How long is your hair to do braids in the front?
This sounds like a lazy style I would love.

It's bsl. With that set, it fell a bit past my shoulders.

Washed my hair yesterday but did bantu knots instead of rollers or curlformers. It honestly took me the same amount of time as doing curlformers without the smoothness. I'm hoping that in the next month or two I can get some jumbo perm rods or barrel curlformers to make my wash-days a bit quicker.

I'm setting with curlformers tonight and trying out the It's a 10 leave-in. It's pretty late so I'm not going to know much. I think I will just take out the curlformers and put on a bonnet. That will be a good test. If my hair last until morning then it should last through the day. I want to see if it works so I can determine if I will wear a rollerset for a special event in April.

I think my hair is too dry to use Its a 10 by itself. I need something more moisturizing. Next time I will use my regular leave-in and use the It's a 10 when I put my hair up for the night. It does seem like it will help with poofing but my hair just feels super dry. I use some Blue Rose Creme and put in flat twist. I will see if it pools when I take them out.

Oh no! Im sorry it didnt work for you alone. Definitely try it on top of your usual leave in.
How did your set turn out?

I really want to roller set frequently, but I haven't had success in the past. I just did a perm rod set in green rollers and will sleep with them tonight. I used Redken Extreme anti-snap leave in treatment and Wen 613 mousse. If this turns out well, I will do this more often.

It didn't turn out well because my hair didn't have enough moisture. My curls usually come out sleek and my roots straight but not this time.
I used Alikay n creme brulee and used the It's a 10 and flat twisted. That turned out better. I will definitely have to layer it.

Hey ladies! Guess what? I'm moving back to my home city!
I really prayed for this opportunity and I am so so excited. I'll be back in about 2 weeks and will have a week off before starting my new job.
I am concerned about my hair. I don't think I can get away with my slighly fuzzy bun. I need a sleek bun. Time to experiment. I think maybe using a comb to pull my hair up in a ponytail will work? Right now I smooth with my hands. And perhaps some oil?

Congrats @toaster! Never underestimate the power of a serum and a scarf for that smoothness.
@freecurl - I think it's cute! You didn't use products that make your hair smooth though. Redken Anti snap is a mild protein and mousse is for hold. So that's kind of like double hardness. To get rid of the frizz, you also need a serum. You can actually use the same products as before but next time use a serum on very wet hair as step 1, then the leave in, then the mousse. Do it per section= smoother set. You also wont get super smooth unless you dry with heat.

I think you are right. I'm really not feeling my curly hair right now. I'm in desperate need for a change. I want a deva cut, but I'm concerned, due to my fine hair, it won't be as nice. I definitely will try roller setting again. I have so many serums, leave-ins and rollers that I have collected over the years, one of them should work, LOL. It didn't take too long, so maybe I'll try it again later this week. Thanks guys for your encouragement.

Congrats that sounds great!
I'm a gel girl with my buns. After my curlformer sets though I can just finger comb out the curls and then smooth it into a bun, glob on some gel and brush down the top layer. Then tie down a scarf for half hour and voila.
