Setting To Success 2017

Thanks! You had me at 'quicker installation'. I think I'll check them Black Friday. My only other issue with the Customers is that some of them seem to be crumbling apart. I don't know if it's because I used oil setting my hair with them.

What do you use to set?

I have the same problem with the 2nd hand barrel ones. Maybe it's age? I'm not sure. I use oils and my leave ins as well, because anything else making the drying take forever and I dont like how sticky setting lotions/mousses make my hair feel.
 
Thanks again @imaginary! May just be age breaking down the rubber. I should email the company about it.

Y'all. I understand why you set. I took down the perm rods and results were really good for a first completed set. I also got the smoothest bun of life afterward. If I had set with a holding product and smaller sections/20 more perm rods I might wear my hair in curls. Mayyybe I'll learn to part for this.

@Colocha Pretty! Did you use the standard curlformers?

And yeah, setting is bomb. I regret not setting yesterday, bun life is 1000x easier on stretched hair :yep:

Thank you @halee_J ! No, I used green perm rods and the roll and twist technique. I used 24 and had 6 sections that were twisted and wrapped onto the rod, so I would have needed at least 36 to do my whole head properly. I probably need more than that to be honest. I had a lot of hair on each roller.

Ah yeah! I did read that, my bad. Yes less hair would make the set smoother esp on the ends and less volume on the roots. I'm not good with perm rods at all, too many moving parts :lol:

Yeah :yep:
It was a good learning experience. Maybe I'll keep working with them.
More likely I'll snatch up some barrel Curlformers Black Friday lol.
I wonder how many packs I would need... They only have 30 per set.
 
My pibbs is here!! Going to break that baby in tonight with a good dc after being in the ocean water all week. I will be doing a bantu knot out so I will also sit under the dryer a bit to make sure it's dry for the morning.

I picked up so new perm rods today and a protein treatment so it's on and popping Friday.

She is all set up and I'm currently breaking her in. It's been love at first sight:2inlove::2inlove:
 
Hi, I just like doing rod sets for fun. Like date night or a special outing. Usually once a momth. I'm still trying to figure out the best combo and technique. I'm not interested in curlformers. I stick to perm rods. TBH the only way I can get a could set is to take down my twists and immediately moisturize with lottabody curl milk a styler. Next I will try the milk and their foam wrap. Using no water. I'm determined to get the perfect set
 
I purchased the hourglass rollers last night from longing4lenght site. Not going to lie I'm a bit nervous because she has not been updating her site/ig account since the spring. I hope she is still selling them because she had the best price and I want them to set my hair for next Thursday. I keep checking my email for a shopping confirmation and I only ordered them last night lol lol

She is pretty fast with shipping. I ordered a couple of packs a while back and got them in two days. You will definitely have them by next Thursday.

I want to get some from her too :yep: Currently using Annie mesh rollers. I was kinda hoping she’d maybe do some kind of BF sale.

Ooooooh weeee! Girl I’m excited for you! :yay:
 
Up early since I have a busy day. I already did my protein treatment last night. It was my first time and I was soo nervous but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I'm about to dc under the dryer for 30 min and then do my rod set. I'm hoping it comes out how I envision in my head. I haven't done a rod set in forever
 
Here is how my set came out. I love it. I still need to practice but I love my results. I keep trying to upload pic but I'm getting an error message.

Set again today. I have the same amount of rollers as last time and they work fine for stretching for a bun but I will double up on Black Friday so I can wear the curls for Christmas stuff. My set came out better than last week's regardless.
