Setting To Success 2017

[Browndilocks]

Not sure whether today or tomorrow will be wash day. Either way I'm dry and a little frizzy so here's what I'm using:

CON Argan original formula
Redken Frizz Dismiss deep condish
It's a 10 plus Keratin. The keratin version is the only one I use.
Super diluted Lottabody.

You have to use it's a 10 and lottabody together very sparingly. Like I said I'm a little dry so this time I'm using a product combo that will leave a teeny tiny coat.

Well I did another curlformer set with the large barrels but this time I went back to my old products. It turned out pretty good but I didn't take pics cuz it looks the same as my set last week. I'm just using them to stretch my hair. I finger combed then installed bantu knots for today. I'll be in puffy twist next week but I'll be doing rollersets in between. I'm a still try and see if I can figure out how to get a good magnetic rollerset. That'll be my mission next year .

 

[Curls&Justice417]

Bought some flexi rods. I'm going to wait to do a set until I get a hooded dryer. I practiced a bit on dry hair and it was harder than it looks! I want to go them on wet hair anyway. And there is no way on God's green earth that I'm sleeping in those.

Think I might have to get me some curlformers and perm rods too. And some standard hard plastic rollers....

 

[Browndilocks]

Okay...I started combing my hair before I took pics. I'm going to tap the roots with a flat iron and throw on the bonnet.

Loving all the weekend setting happening!!

Set a few days ago if turned out cute. However, going back to the gym tommarow so I need to figure out how to preserve my curls.....

Setting sucks when you have short hair! lol

Your hair isn't that short. You should be good.

I don't wanna look like little Richard.

So I decided to go looking for rollers since I was off today, I found some for $2 a pack! I'll take it. My first attempt will likely be Saturday night for Christmas morning.

Your hair is as long as mine. I rollerset and it looks fine. Just don't try to put too much hair on a roller.

I rollerset with the deep wave curlformers, a couple days ago. The results were pretty, but way too soft. My hair started to expand within hours of taking the rollers out. Oddly enough, my roots stayed smooth and straight. I picked up the Ion moisture block dupe, but plan on buying the real thing after Christmas. I still want to rollerset just need to find a product that will leave my hair looking good for more than a day.

I hope this set turns out well. I went up a size, since I don't want to wear it too curly.

I set my hair today and forgot to take pics...again. I rolled all of my hair "over" the roller instead of under to get a better stretch at the roots. I got a better stretch, but also more frizz for some reason. I also used less rollers which resulted in me being under the dryer for 2 hours (low porosity problems). After I finger combed and applied serum and butter the frizz got a bit better. I'm in 4 bantu knots until Wednesday.

Here are result of my set from last night.
I used Keracare shampoo and conditioner, detangling mist, leave-in, and One& Only Argan oil.
I used 3 pumps of the Keracare wrap set lotion. And sprayed with water when my hair started to dry.
It took me 45mins to set my hair.
I'm 10 weeks post relaxer.

What products do you use now? Do you use a setting lotion, or something with cones?

Hey ladies. I'm setting my hair tonight and I'm dreading it. I don't know why because it's been over a week since I've washed my hair and it's been in a top knot since Thursday. I haven't even taken it down to detangle. This will be my last wash of the year since I'm getting my hair washed and roller set on the 30th. Wow! Can't wait for 2017

It looks good. Are you feeling like James Brown?

I used a cheap silicone serum followed by foam wrap.

Ok, we will run with that! I feel like a proper lady! lol I need some white gloves an a nice pocket book!

Phew. No more hair days until 2017. Will make sure to look around in my mom's bathroom to see what kind of hair oils I can use while I'm home for the holidays. And maybe... what I can bring home with me. @IDareT'sHair

Those luscious locks!

 

[Curls&Justice417]

Okay so I'm guessing these curl formers here:

Would give me a different size curl than these here?

Those first ones seem wider to me. And my hair is shoulder length so I definitely don't need extra long....

Buy the 24" barrel curl ones. Spend the extra $$ now. Don't buy based on your current hair length. Your will out grow the shorter ones.

The first set are wider. They are closer to regular. Urlformers versus the spiral curls of the second set. I would recommend getting as long as possible if you plan on growing your hair out. You are not going to want to replace a set because you grew out of them.

I know there are knockoffs for the second set which are much cheaper. Not sure if there are knockoffs for the second set.

 

[Curls&Justice417]

That makes sense. I was thinking I wouldn't be able to use the longer ones for some reason. I definitely don't want to stay at shoulder length so it makes sense to get long ones now. I just don't know if I want those barrel ones or the spiral ones. Hmm I might get the spiral ones so I can get the knock off brand and the spiral curls might last longer than the barrel ones...decisions lol
