When you don't have time to rollerset...

[locfreeme]

What do you do when your hair has to be done (down for a special event - no protective styles like buns) and there's no time to rollerset? I've been rollersetting exclusively the last few weeks and want to continue minimizing direct heat. But, I have a party to attend in about two hours and there's no time to rollerset.

After washing and dc, I put my hair back in a loose bun, tied it down with a scarf and am sitting under the dryer as I type. I plan to set my hair on hot rollers once it's dry. But, I really don't know how it's going to turn out...

Any tips? What are other ways to get fabulous hair fast without blowdrying?

Do a search for the FARS. I can't remember if it involves the dryer though.

Since my hair isn't long enough to put in a bun, I blowdry and flatiron. I also make sure of use lots of heat protectant. I am trying to get all the wanting to flatiron my hair out of my system for the boot camp challenge. But the good thing is all next year I will be weaving and braiding it u.

I think I'll have to learn how to do them first. I wore twist- and braid-outs a lot when I was natural, but they don't look right when I try to do them on my relaxed hair. I guess I'll figure it out eventually.

Well, after an hour under the dryer, I looked a HAM. So I blew it out the rest of the way and flat ironed after all. My hair is dry today but it's going back up in a bun so I guess it doesn't matter.

Caruso rollers are a great investment for times like these. They only take about 5 secs to heat up, 15 to set and let them stay in for 20-45 minutes and VIOLA!! beautiful swanging curls!

Yeah those are really convenient. They saved me on many many occasions. If you don't have them just wash, blowdry, and curl/flat iron(or just curl/flat iron if your hair is clean). Its not good for your hair at all but you are in a pinch. Just make sure you use a really good heat protectant.

ITA about the Caruso rollers! They save so much time and are so healthy for the hair at the same time.

I love the carusos, I've got my christmas party in a couple of hours and used them to do my hair...it's so full and swanging , it's ridiculous!
I don't know what I'd do without them.

Thanks ladies. I'll try to get some carusos on ebay or the hair product exchange.

If it's your first time out with the Caruso, a less expensive alternative (& IMO just as good) are the Vidal Sassoon ionic steam rollers. They work just like Caruso but at nearly half the price!

Caruso all the way. I hardly ever used mine since I learned how to rollerset and have a Pibbs dryer. I am sitting under it now and my sweetie is waiting on me to watch the game with him. Hair first.
