Thinking about trying my first rollerset this weekend...

[Diva_Esq]

...and I need suggestions and tips!

I am using the gray & some red magnetic rollers with metal clips to secure.

Ladies who rollerset:
1. What prods do you leave in the hair?
2. What method/ pattern do you use to roll the hair?
3. Do you use rolling papers?
4. Once you take all the rollers out after drying, how do you usually style it?
5. How long do yours usually last?
6. What prods do you use for moisture/ maintenance/ defrizzing/ upkeep for a few days?
7. What other styles do you work the set into once it starts falling?

Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!

1st one I used a little Hairveda's whipped baggy cream. Worked great. The second time I used bioprofessional leave in. Not so great.
2. What method/ pattern do you use to roll the hair?

1st time did pontail method 20 or more rollers. It came out perfect straight roots. 2nd 3rd time no ponytail less rollers it was a little poofy not so straight.

I used end papers.
4. Once you take all the rollers out after drying, how do you usually style it?

Im bunning to my goal.
5. How long do yours usually last?

Hi Diva_Esq!! Just adding that the pic in my avatar is from (3) gray rollers (call myself protective styling) ...based on your pic - I think your hair would come out great if you used Lacio Lacio ....

Could you explain what the Anchor method is?

I was thinking about doing 3 sections (like mohawk and 2 sections on each side)...

Yes that's it....

I start at the bottom of the "mohawk" and work my way up....check out "Buildable Beauty" on YouTube...she does this as well but she starts at the top...(just in case you need a visual - I love her tutorials)

Hi, I don't mean to hijack this thread.

But I have a dumb question, what are endpapers for?

TIA

IMO, it's to keep the ends of your hair smooth around the rollers. At least that's what I use them for.

Cool! What do you use to hold the pin curls in place? Do you sleep in a bonnet? Silk scarf?

I believe end papers smooth the ends out and keep them from coming out in the rollers/ sticking to the rollers. Good question...anyone else can chime in too!

Ladies who rollerset:
1. What prods do you leave in the hair?

NTM silk leave-in cream, Fantasia IC serum, Elasta QP H-Two leave in conditioner (if I want a roller wrap and straight hair) but if I want curls and some definition, I'll add Pantene Pro-V R&N wrap and set spray. also a water bottle to keep the un-rollered hair wet

2. What method/ pattern do you use to roll the hair?

mohawk, roll up. i learned to set my hair from Macherieamour's video

3. Do you use rolling papers?

no

4. Once you take all the rollers out after drying, how do you usually style it?

if i am wearing it straight, i'll do a saran wrap treatment. if not, i just use a wide tooth comb or plastic brush and comb the curls. with the wrap/set lotion I use, it leaves the hair hard, so i comb through the hair to break that bond

5. How long do yours usually last?

a few days until next wash

6. What prods do you use for moisture/ maintenance/ defrizzing/ upkeep for a few days?

i'll use a few drops of hairveda hair oil every other day

7. What other styles do you work the set into once it starts falling?

ponytails and buns, or i'll just co-wash and do a braid out

 

[LushLox]

1. What prods do you leave in the hair?

Lacio Lacio, and a couple of drops of Argan Oil

2. What method/ pattern do you use to roll the hair?

Mohawk and sometimes the Anchor Method

3. Do you use rolling papers?

No, I don't think this is necessary with magnetic rollers as the hair is smooth and flat against the roller anyway. I would only use ends papers if I was using foam rollers.

4. Once you take all the rollers out after drying, how do you usually style it?

I usually loosen the curls with my fingers and pin up the sides with a hair pin or I sometimes do a saran wrap.

5. How long do yours usually last?

Not very long. I don't always pin curl to maintain the curl, but I occasionally roll just the middle of the hair (about 4 rollers) which will give me some body and curl for the next day.

6. What prods do you use for moisture/ maintenance/ defrizzing/ upkeep for a few days?

NTM Silk Leave in cream. If I'm re-rolling I will add a few pumps of Aveda Phomollient.

7. What other styles do you work the set into once it starts falling?

Just throw it up in a loose bun, nothing too adventurous.

Clarity - Is the anchor method - attaching rollers to each other working from the bottom, going up?

 

[Diva_Esq]

I'm curious about what the anchor method is too!

 

[sqzbly1908]

Clarity - Is the anchor method - attaching rollers to each other working from the bottom, going up?

Yes...that is one way ...some people start at the top and work their way down...

I start from the bottom and work my way up....
