oh my goggle!...tiffers! that is the most beautiful bun/twist i've ever seen. in neeeeeed the exact instructions with the necessary tools....if you do not reply here, i might pm you. TIA
That's a cute pin! I'm starting to really get into hair toys since this challenge started!i'm going to do a roller set tonight...i haven't washed my hair since friday when i got it done. my stylist used mizani on my hair for a DC, which he said would also help to prevent frizz... and i was frizz free in the heavy humidity. i believe it was moisture fuse silk cream conditioner. i will have to add that to my shopping list.
in the mean time, trying to rock some cute protective styles on this dirty hair. lol. i bought some hair toys (more presents for myself... what can i say...) on friday. i got a rose gold skinny headband from j crew (on sale), and rhinestone bobby pins from anthropologie. i also got this rose hair pin. i couldn't find pics of the others online.
from anthropologie. rosy posy hair pin.
) What products do you use to rollerset with? I used ORS wrapping lotion. I used 1oz setting lotion to 4oz water. Still crunchy.
Thanks girl!!!!! I'm gonna do a picture tutorial on either Friday or Saturday because it would be difficult for me to just explain with words
I'm going to quit! I am so sick of hair. I have tried to roller set 3 times this week and let me tell you I have seen more breakage doing this then when I airdry and flat iron. My hair is pissed. I'm thinking of just given up and going to get a rollerset done. I'm going to try one more time tonight.
The problems:
If my sets aren't crunchy then they are still wet. My curls came out really pretty in the front and then they were soaking wet in the back (because I rollerset each roller in the front and tried to do the ponytail method in the back
What size roller do you do use when you want a straight set? I used my big 2 inch rollers and I still had big fat spirals. On the other hand I was able to do my first real wrap. I was so excited I couldn't wait to take it down this morning. My wrap look a HAM. I have it in a bunned up ponytail. I hate my hair. I hate it. I hate. I hate it!
erplexed. i usually air dry and bun/pony/braid. i haven't decided yet...sigh.
What products are you using? Maybe try switching it up. Do you use slide-in clips? They're soooo much easier to use than regular clips because they slide all the way into the roller and grip better than regular clips. You can also try mesh rollers, I can get them tighter on my roots because of the kind of rubber-ish texture. They kinda stick to your hair more than slippery magnetics.
I've been bunning since I joined and never had a problem with my edges. When you have your hair in a bun or pony, you should be able to comfortably move your head in all directions. If you feel ANY tugging, loosen up the ponytail holder until the tugging and pulling subsides. HTH!
I'll post it in a new thread, the tutorial will also be in my album in case anyone misses the threadthank you....will you post it in this thread, or a new one?
Don't give up! Rollersetting takes a while to get used to. I don't know HOW many sets I went through before they started coming out even decentI'm going to quit! I am so sick of hair.

If you usually bun it up and forget it, rollersetting will definitely take some getting used to. It takes lots of patience, but the end result (swangin, soft, moisturized, smooth hair) are worth it!i might quit too...it takes a long time; or maybe i'm impatient
You're welcome
I think one of my issues might be using too much product. Right now after I was I spray Aphogee Pro Vitamin Leave-in with the Green Tea Reconstructor and then I put in some Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum. I also put in NTM Silk Touch and in my water bottle I mix cream of nature leave in and water. And I spray Hydratherma Naturals Follicle Invigorator spray to my roots.
I think I need to start using the 2 minute Aphogee reconstructor again because idk my hair just doesnt feel right after this last roller set. my hair seems like it is snapping.
I also used some product.....I cant remember the name of it but my aunt had it and her house and I just tried it out. But it was burning so maybe my hair wasnt too happy with that.
I've been putting of doing another roller set because Im going through some withdrawl issues because I havent used my curling iron, flat iron, or blowdrier in a few weeks now and Im used to my hair doing what I want it to do when I use those products. ::sigh:: Maybe I will face my fears and do a rollerset today.
Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome
I think that may be too much product. Try sticking to one leave in and one serum. If you put a leave in on your hair, don't put some in the water bottle as well. Is your hair snapping without stretching first?
). The rollers were taut and I got some very well defined curls. I wrapped it and got great bounce and volume. Which is good considering my hair is fine as anything! 
^^^ To be honest in order to do it under 25 minutes I have to be uber focused, no TV on or anything - then I can do it really quickly. It normally takes me 25 minutes though.
Just tried those steam rollers - they are lovely! Curls very well. So they will be ideal to maintain my hair in between rollersets!
Did a great rollerset this morning (in 20 minutes
I went out for lunch with my mum today and she said my hair looked so thick it looked like it could be a wig.
yeah... no TV would be ideal... i can't lie. I was watching 90210 while roller setting my hair...
i also don't like getting shed hairs wrapped up into my roller as i roll. so i have this habit of making sure i get the hair off of the comb in mid roll... if i didn't care so much, my set would probably be done faster.
It takes me forever to ponytail rollerset. Plus I don't like the deep indentions it leaves in my hair and the longer drying time. I just don't like it
