The Roller Setting & Protective Styling Challenge!

[BeautifulFlower]

My rollersetting results from last night using my new Hot Tools stand up dryer is in my siggy...my hair was especially softer than usually...

Cburney: The dryer is a little bigger than I would like. I dont know here I am going to store it and I have house. I'll probably keep it in the guest bedroom or something. But the results of your hair and the drying time is great. No $300 Pibbs for me.

hola chicas,

so i did my wash n roller set yesterday since i was going out that night. weather was muggy and i was determined to rock a cute protective 'do. i set my hair on grey and purple rollers for more curl. i decided i'd try the style from this youtube video below i pulled off of the mane & chic website:

i worked with the roller set curls i already had (no direct heat involved!), pinned the bump at the top and then gathered the rest of my hair into a messy bun. i kept all of my ends pinned under so they weren't exposed. a few escaped during the night but no biggie. i took pics at the end of the night. my bun wilted a tad. please see the attachments.

Thanks, I think I'll end up with this one.

LD, your bun looks great. I just learned how to do the southern tease! I'm trying to get someone to take a pic for me.

Thanks Tiffers, I searched long and hard and I can't come up with anything. I'll just be careful with the ones I have.

You ladies are making me want to buy that hot tools dryer. My apartment is too small for that type of dryer, so I'll have to wait until I move. I rollerset yesterday and I'll update this post with pics later.

Thanks to all for all your advice and encouragement.

girl... i understand the space issue. i live in a studio apartment. i have a walk in closet so i might be able to jam it in there when i'm not using it but considering the handbag situation in there, it might not happen. and since i set twice a week, why bother putting it away...? my dryer is rolling around my apartment like it's some kind of avant-garde art piece....

I relaxed yesterday and rollerset with Fermodyl 619 and Beauty W/O Cruelty leave in. Also used Silicon Mix Serum. My hair looked fab, if I must say so myself. Dh kept complimenting how good it looked

I took some pics on my cell phone, but they're dark and they suck I wrapped and whole head baggied last night and this morning I woke up to damp hair So I'm still waiting for my hair to dry before I comb it down. I'll have dh take pics later. Hopefully it still looks good erplexed

Does anyone use rollers like these? I need larger mesh rollers but can only find this type and worry that they would pull out strands of hair.

From reading 2 billion mesh roller threads ( ) I found out that Diane mesh rollers are very flemsy and low quality. So I purchased the Annie brand from here:http://store.goldenmartbeautysupply.com/anwimeroju.html

Hey ladies
I remembered something this morning from my old life . I had an instructor in cosmo school tell me once if I ever ran out of setting lotion to use warm preferably flat beer. The yeast in the beer gives great hold and shine esp if hair is fine and great volume & body for limp hair she said .

This came back to me this morning as I was thinking I need to go to BSS today before they close to get setting lotion . I think I am going try this in my next set. Have any of you tried it?

 

[tiffers]

Okay, well my hair is a HAM today. Whole head baggying is NOT a good idea if you wanna wear your hair straight
This is a sucky pic from last night, I just wrapped it for a few mins and combed it down. There are still a few bumps where the curls didn't completely straighten. It looked soooo much better in person, but what are you gonna do? erplexed

I'd try it, but I don't wanna smell like stinky beer

Thanks, tiffers, but I'm looking for 2"-3" rollers. That's good info about the Diane brand though. I'll know to steer clear.

ETA: Of course the picture I posted was 1 1/2" rollers - sorry to be misleading.

 

[LushLox]

Lovely Tiffers. You're hair is growing.

Here's some pics of this week's rollerset (sorry for the dirty mirror- my rollersetting mix got all over my mirror):





Question: Would doing cornrows after a set me considering a protective style. It's getting hot and I miss my summer cornrows

 

[LushLox]

Absolutely stunning kblc06! And Happy Birthday!

ya'll are doing great.

and i love all the different styles......(keeping me encouraged)

 

[LivingDol1]

looking good.

i would think cornrows is a protective style. as long as your ends are protected/hidden. see how it works for you with the roller setting.

good to know. i wasn't even aware they made hair accessories. trying to cut back on my online shopping addiction.

 

[LushLox]

I'm going to do my roller set tomorrow. I need to clarify so I'll do that and use my new Origins conditioner. I need to stop buying stuff!
