UPDATE: Hair Setback vs. Transitioning Blessing *~Pics~*

[TrendySocialite]

So last night I rollerset my hair. Here's what I did...

• DC'd with no heat with Mane and Tail and Cantu Oil
• Co-washed with Aussie Moist and Mane & Tail
• ACV rinse
• Rollerset with small rollers (1/2" I think--they are green) using rollerset mix
• Dryer for 45 min (only upside to shorter hair--shorter drying time LOL)
• Slept in rollers

Here are some shots of my wet texture before I rollerset..

This morning I unrolled and styled...here are the results...

I really like this style. For me, it's somewhat of an indication of what life as a natural will look like. I pinned the front slightly off center because that was all I could think to do at the time. I'm going to look online today for some other styling inspirations.

I think this is going to be my transition style for the next month or until I am ready to BC. I think next week I will go ahead and BC below my ear, some of that is already natural from what I can tell. I will keep the height and fullness at the top and keep this style for a while.

I must say that while co-washing my hair, I LOVED the texture. It was soft and curly...I can't wait until it's all natural.

I love your curls. I am thinking of transitioning and have been natural before, but never did a rollerset as a natural.
