I was talking mad junk about how ain't nobody got time for roller setting anymore and ended up doing a cheat set yesterday. LOL I had to slice up some humble pie and eat my words. After manipulating my hair to the point of gaining the highest ssk's I've ever seen while on my hair journey, I'm having to go back to the basics. It was making a choice between:
Short yet more frequent wash days and high manipulation to maintain styles.
Or back to:
Roller sets = Longer wash days but low to no manipulation to maintain styles. Also the best bonus is longer periods in between wash days. (10-14 days)
I choose the latter. I still can't commit to full roller sets, but cheat sets...I can get down with those. 4 ponytails made while in the shower, 4 rollers in each ponytail...dry under dryer for one hour. Let cool. My roots still have tons of texture but will loosen up as the days go by from sleeping in one low Bantu knot. The forum is not accepting pics from me but even in high humidity, my roller set ponytail was bouncing and behaving.
