SL Ladies: What Size Rollers...?

[davisbr88]

Hi, everyone!
Quick (dumb) question: I am going to be doing a silk wrap soon and wanted to know what size rollers would be best to use. Obviously, I don't want the curls to be too tight. My hair is shoulder-length. I am looking at getting 1.5" rollers. I know that people have varying lengths of hair to be considered shoulder-length on their particular bodies, but I was just wondering what size rollers others used for their silk wraps/roller wraps in general.

I like the aqua colored magnetic rollers. I don't know the inch specifics off the top of my head, but I think you can go by the color when it comes to magnetic rollers. IMO the curls relax nicely when using that size.

The rollers I use are magenta....I think that's 1.5"

Thanks so much for your reply!
I found this site: http://www.cachebeauty.com/magnetic_rollers.htm
If you go all the way down to the ones listed as aqua on the site, are those what you're referring to?
Thank you!

I use the red ones on the the parts that are long and the flamingo (green) ones on my shorter parts.

I use these http://www.blackhairspray.com/product-p/annie1355.htm

And I use the yellow mesh rollers if I need to speed up drying time rather than get things super straight.

I use the purple/ Magenta ones and my hair comes to my collar bone. HTH

Thank you for your responses ladies! It seems that the overwhelming majority of women are using 1 1/4" and 1 1/2". I purchased this set from Walmart: http://www.amazon.com/Goody-Finished-Magnetic-Rollers-45639/dp/B001LA4TV4
The 1 1/4" rollers are teal and the 1 1/2" rollers are red. I guess I will use a mix of the two?
If doing the traditional mohawk style of setting, where do you all put the bigger rollers? Towards the front, the back, or on the sides?
Thank you again for helping out!
