I was light handed in fear of getting too greasy. The final result is what my wraps look like after about 2 days, so it did the job.

Very pretty Cleve gryl! Looks like it worked well!

Pokahontas, what about the roots? I'm transitioning and I usually have to flat iron my roots after a roller set. Will the saran wrap/silk wrap straighten the roots too under the dryer???

Sorry... still a total Newbie....
I searched thread on rollersetting, but can't find a good one.
Can someone link me somewhere that has the "best" rollersetting technique for my 4a natural hair.
I am definitely tryin the silk wrap this week!!

The ladies that have tried this method. Did you sit under the dryer with the rollerset or did you let it airdry??
Thanks, Ciara

I sat under the dryer a total of three times today
Once for my dc, again to dry the roller set, then lastly for about 15 minutes with the saran wrap...I think I could have did the wrap a little tighter and with a little bit more moisture to hold it down. It got straight but it could be straighter IMO.

Poka beautiful, as always.
After I learned to do this it was the only way I would dry my hair. The saran wrap really does give you smooth, sleek hair. This is how I was able to go from last summer until this past week without flat ironing.
Tip: if you use coconut oil you will get the blinging shine with out the greasiness and weighed down hair.

.I was the same as you.....I used very little moisturizer and oil because I was scared and I didn't know if it would work and I didn't want to weight my hair down. Next time I will apply a tad more since I'm not so scared now. Yours came out pretty!!

You know, my roots actually came out really good with the silk wrap and I think with me doing the ponytail rollerset that helped them even more. Normally when I do doobie's I have to blow out the roots all over but this time I just touched up the edges where it was kinda fuzzy so yeah I think the saran wrap really helps the roots.MrsHouston said:

This works great! I airdryed on Friday nite and then rolled up my hair last nite. I wrapped my hair today, applied moisture, oil, saran wrap. Sat under the dryer for 25 minutes, and nice straight shiny none frizzy hair. Thanks P!

I tried this and I think it might work. I had my hair pressed on Thursday but it rained that night and all of Friday. THat made my hair frizzy and puffy, I tried the silk wrap on Saturday and it smoothed down those frizzy parts and made my hair shiny and my ends look MUCH better (they need to be dusted). I'll post updates soon.

my ends have little issues too but i tried this MY way
i do not rollerset and my hair is natural. i blew dried my hair and added the aveda moisturizers, emollient and silk infusions to my hair and wrapped it with saran wrap. it came out, 1st of all very soft, and smooth. not silky str8 smooth but i do not need to use the flat iron on my hair especially since i'm not wearing my hair down. if i were, i would probably feel compelled to run the iron thru my hair but it wouldnt be that serious, does that make sense
. like, i wouldnt worry myself by taking small sections to iron like i usually do. it really smoothed it alot. i would do it again and tweek it a bit for even better results(like silky str8 hair, if thats possible using this method w/o rollersetting 1st and/or using the flat iron)
