But not us. But even then 5-10 hairs is not a lot. I could see if you had a ball of hair when you were done or something. Hair is going to shed regardless. It's just a part of the normal growth cycle.
and the hinge area also can attract and snag hair. So I decided to do this set with the giant coated bobby pins until I can find some better clips or buy some wire mesh rollers that use the plastic stick to hold it in place. Some ladies in the forum also like the snap on rollers.
As long as its not overly excessive and I do everything I can: deep condition, hard & soft protein treatments,moisturize, etc.
I use the typical Snap-on rollers and I STILL see breakage as well. I'm trying to stretch/transition my hair and I've been switching from the blow dryer to doing more rollersets and when i took the rollers out,I was a little shocked to see all the shed hair wrapped around it.
I'm thinking its the manipulation of wrapping wet hair tightly around the roller and then having the heat shrink it back to normal size and it starts to snap from the tension. There is no real way to avoid it i think.
I'm also wondering if its breakage from me stretching my relaxer or just breakage from rollersetting period. I've never rollerset my hair before this much so i dont know how much shed hair would be there if i were to actually relax again.
Yep, those are the ones that I use. on Macherieamour's DVD, she said to use those so that they hold good and slide in and out easilyJust so I'm clear, are you ladies talking about clips like these?
I see the two prongs and the "pocket".
Maybe I'll go out and get some double pronged ones....

I have the single prong ones like these:

I learned some things too in the middle of my rollersetting experience.i have been trying different techniques on my rollersets. I learned that I have to shea butter my whole head, then I detangle with my wide tooth comb, apply any other conditioners i'm putting in, detangle again, put evoo on my ends then comb through with a fine tooth comb, then wrap the hair around my magnetic rollers. this is what I did for the one I did last night. came out amazing. my ends were usually dry & tangled. but smooth like baby tail this time. and they were shiny.
another thing I learned the hard way is that i ALWAYS rollerset when its WET. . . so of course the hair is "stretchier", but as it dried it would pull kinda tight. . . so I started rolling it up, FIRM (so that it doesn't slip out), but not tight as to snap & pull as it dries. and if that doesn't work, try doing it tight when you first set it (and it's at its wettest), and then as it dries, loosen the rollers that fill a little right.
oh and another thing, make sure u wrap your hair around the rollers with care, make sure it's in the "middle" of the roller, if u know what I mean. wouldn't want to snag wet hairs on the clip or the bottom of the roller clap or anything like that
see, don't let me get some real length on my head. . . see, I gave ya'll advance warning. . .
HARD! When I finally remembered and did it, NO HAIRS WERE BROKEN OFF!

After washing my hair, I tried to keep it wet and then combed it out in sections to roll. BAD CHOICE. What I have to do is finger part my hair to create a mohawk then as my hair is drying (my hair has to be somewhat dry) finger part a section to put on the roller, comb it out with a wide tooth comb then a little tooth comb, THEN wet it with the spray bottle and put on the roller and roll. MY HAIR DOES NOT LIKE BEING COMBED WHILE WET! My hair told me this before and I forgot so she got mad and fought back!
@ you trying to test her. she was NOT having it
LOL It is the truth! LEARN TO LISTEN TO YOUR HAIR!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
