Silk Wrap PICS!!

[Aviah]

I must admit I was a little apprehensive with how my silk wrap would come out on my texture. But after putting in a rinse, combing into small sections, applying Tresemme heat protection pray, a dab of coconut oil, and Lottabody setting lotion, I set on velcro rollers, sat under the dryer. Then took them down wrapped with plastic wrap and sat under the dryer for a little bit longer.
Results:
BEAUTIFUL! I AM COMPLETELY ROCKING STRAIGHT HAIR MORE OFTEN!

Wow! That looks beautiful. I used to love those rollers when I was relaxed but I never thought to try them for a wet set . BTW, are you natural?

I am natural! Mostly 4a.
I want to be able to work my way up to smooth rollers to get sets like yours, but the velcro gets my roots straighter than I would myself otherwise.

I love it! Did you do your layers?

Did the velcro rollers not break your hair?
Did you set your hair on rollers after a wash, dripping wet?
I believe you are natural right?

Pretty hair and pretty lady !

Your hair looks awesome, and you have a beautiful smile!

Those aren't intentional layers. That's just how my hair is growing out for the longest time post-bc (Nov 2007) I want to even it up after I reach my final goal.

You know, I thought about that and checked the rollers after I took my hair down and saw there were few hairs in there (about 10 in total). There was a tiny bit breakage/shedding but I think being as careful as possible minimizes it. I shampooed, and rinsed out the dye. I added a little coconut oil to help with smoothness, slip and moisture. It was pretty wet, but mostly with setting lotion. I detangled carefully and did small sections on the rollers.

Thanks so much you guys. SERIOUSLY. I would have never gave rollersetting the time of day had I not found out about it here...

Very pretty! I love the results but I have no patience to roller set my own hair.

It does take a bit of time. But its worth escaping from potential heat damage!

(Or the increase of it for me)

 

[ceebee3]

It came out great, I love it!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]
