The Roller Setting & Protective Styling Challenge!

tiffers said:
I've been extremely lazy. Can't remember the last time I even washed my hair. For about a week, I had it back in an uncombed, unmoisturized, HAM bun :perplexed So I finally decided to wash my hair yesterday and my tub is extremely stopped up. We'll have to use a snake or something. I had myself all pumped up to dc with AO White Camellia and I can't :sad: Oh well, back to being lazy

Wow that's so not like you. Hope everything is ok!

Are any of the natural ladies continuing this challenge over the summer? I'm going back and forth on whether to rollerset. My hair reverts quickly but my hair is getting longer and I don't know if I can handle wetting it every day.
 
I am about to wash and deep condition my hair....I want to rollerset it but it never comes out that well. I think I may try again. Hopefully it will come out alright this time.
 
i am soooo friggin' LAZY!

i was going to wash and set today but i came home and just was... a lazy bum. i did take my hair out of my loose bun and detangled... got some of that shed hair out. it wasn't bad. but my head itches! i think maybe i should wash it, DC overnight with a plastic cap on.. and then rinse, use porosity control in the AM and then set?

hmm....

watch me go to bed and just do it all in the morning. i have no vital plans this weekend so i am not in a real rush to wash my hair.... but i really really should!
 
so i finally set my hair today after washing it yesterday and leaving it in a wet bun. :) i set it on blue rollers. it came out nice and soft. looked a little silkier than usual on the ends and i'm not sure why. i did rinse yesterday with porosity control but i don't really know if there is a visible difference in my hair. i had some notably annoying tangles while it was wet...

i'm 8 or 9 weeks post relaxer so i flat ironed my new growth. 3 more weeks to go... at least, til my next touch up.

Co-sign....:lachen:
 
checking in. still setting! i'm curious to see how the sabino moisture block works on my hair when i set it... since i refuse to flat iron anything but the new growth. will report back!
 
I feel like I haven't updated in ages!

I'm still consistently setting twice weekly. Did a set yesterday before work, curls were looking good. I'm noticing now that I don't actually need to use so many small rollers. I can feel the difference in the length of my hair clearly through the ability of using bigger rollers.
 
okay so i roller set using everything else i usually use but i added sabino moisture block at the end before sectioning off my hair and setting. i sat under the dryer for 2 hours, took out my rollers, styled my hair as per usual... as a test, i decided to go out and run a few errands. see how my hair did. i did get a slight halo of frizz after being outside for about 90 minutes. the weather here is warm but muggy because we had rain allll day friday.

i'm wondering what i can do to perfect my sabino moisture block usage. maybe i should apply it as i set instead of to my overall length? i also think i used too much of the product because my hair looked ALOT more piecey than usual. usually it's soft and bouncy but this time it really felt like there was something on my hair. it wasn't bad, it was just different... and i'm not sure i like it. lol.

the frst 3 pics are before going outside. the last 2 are after. i know it doesn't look as bad in the photos but in person, i can see frizz!! :ohwell:

Hey ladies,

I've still been setting my hair each week, but I've slacked on my postings. Because of the humidity my sets don't last so i've been wearing in ponytaills. I have to really step up on my protective styling. I am going to do two braids on the side and bun them in the back.

When I find my usb, i'll update with pics.

Also, I used the Mizani humidity resistant spray last week and it blocked the humidity pretty well. My hair was not frizzy. I just don't like the filmy feeling I got from it. I was kind of heavy handed with the spray, so next time I'll spay lightly and see how it works out.

Thanks to everyone for all of your posts!
 
checking in after forever. i am getting better at wet setting each time. It took me 20 minutes to do the rollers this time.

washed with Green CON
Conditioner washed with HELTR
Deep conditioned under the Pibb 514 with ORSRPak
Rinsed well and wet set on grey and purple rollers with aveeda USC all over, then chi silk infusion on each section.

I am under the dryer now... VERY HAPPY - I hope it comes out great!!
 
Okay, I slacked off for a while and wasn't washing or even moisturizing my hair :perplexed

Finally got back on the ball the other day and clarified with Aloe Rid. Then dc'd with L'anza Moi Moi Masque and rollerset with Alba Leave-In and Silicon Mix serum. My hair came out great! Very soft, shiny, smooth and moisturized. My hair is really loving this new low cone reggie of mine :yep:
 
nkays. i used a heat pass.... for my NKOTB concert extravaganza. I washed, blow dried and flat ironed my hair with sabino moisture block. (see new avatar) Boy, I feel guilty doing that to my hair but it came out beautifully and my hair did not frizz up at all last night. hard to believe really. From 2PM til 11:30 PM we were out in the humidity. and of course dancing and screaming during the concert.

back to roller setting starting tomorrow night! :)
 
That's great LD! I know you were too happy!!! How much Sabino did you use?
 
Rollerset yesterday with DermOrganics Leave-In with Argan Oil and Silicon Mix Serum. Then I baggied and went to bed. My hair feels good today :yep:
 
hey tiffers. i used about a quarter sized amount all over my hair and blow dried. then used extremely tiny amounts as i went through and flat ironed my hair. i didn't want my hair to be sticky since the product itself feels sticky... i flat ironed my hair on 400 and only ran the iron over once while counting to 8. not bad.

i wish i had close up shots but the only pics with my hair down from last night are of me and donnie! hahaa. he said i looked beautiful! :grin:

i really wish this stuff worked for roller setting. Mr. Sabino should really get back to the lab and come up with something! cuz I'd buy bucket loads if I could have roller set hair that didn't frizz in the summer!

The only thing that fights frizz for me is to use a little setting lotion mixed with mostly water. Otherwise, my hair comes out frizzy.

Cute siggy pic!
 
Hey Ladies! I've been MIA for a minute but I have been running around for the past couple of weeks.

I used a heat pass 2 weeks ago because I had an event to go to and I never thought the day would come where I would say I felt bad and had wished I rollersetted my hair. Using all of that heat just felt wrong.

In other news, I have grown to love rollersetting. I think I need a few more rounds to perfect it but I think I finally found my groove. Now I look forward to rollersetting.

LD thanks for creating this challenge!

P.S. Lacio Lacio is the BUSINESS. At first I wasnt feeling it but I dont think I was using enough. I starting using a quarter size and I LOVE my sets when Im done. I still need to get used to the PC though......... And the 619. Imma keep trying tiffers. Take care ladies and have a good week!
 
Rollerset today with Alba Botanica Leave-In and DermOrganics Leave-In Treatment with Argan Oil. The DermOrganics leave-in is more of a serum consistancy, so I use it instead of a regular serum. The mix of these two is just :infatuated:
 
Hey big sis ^^^

Update:
I ended my stretch this week at 13wks post, I couldn't find my rollers the other day so I couldn't set my hair. So today I will be roller setting/silk wrapping my hair. Cant Wait!!!
 
Hey ladies, I've been rollersetting each week, but I have not kept up with any protective styles.:nono:

I think the humidity is going to force me to do some protective styling so I'm going to work on that and I'll post when I find something that I can do easily.
 
Hi Ladies

Still I have slacked off on setting lately but have been maintaining with no heat just doing twist sets and braidouts I set yesterday and my head with the rollers to fit under my bonnet so I air dried and then I had an idea I figured that using my blow dryer with comb to my roots would help straighten them and be less heat than a flat iron . I don't know if that breaks the rules but it worked for me so I hope not .I also could not resist doing a length check check fotki if u want to see.http://http://members.fotki.com/caramelkisses1107/

nkays... remember when i said i was going to set my hair last week??? well, it never happened! hahaa... um, i've been washing and going this week. my air dried buns have been getting better... but i'm about to hop in the shower now and do a proper wash, DC, PC, and roller set since I don't have anything going on for the rest of the day. my hair needs it! i will proly have to flat iron my roots though. 13 weeks post and about 3 more to go to hit my week 16 goal.
 
nice length! and i like the color in your hair. highlights?

i think blow drying the roots is the same as flat ironing, which you are allowed to do in this challenge.

Thanks!
No not highlights just a color I am letting grow out but I like it too so I might do it as highlights once it is off my ends.The color is supposed to be dark & lovely sunkissed brown but I processed it under a plastic cap and towel so it came out more like the honey blond.
