Most of the threads here involve roller-setting and I haven't quite figured out why 
For years I've wrapped my hair at night and went along my way. Yes, mainly due to time and effort, but also, because I didn't want to put more stress on my shedding hair.
Two (or so) weeks ago, after joining and starting my LCHF program of oil, deep condition I decided to roller set.
I did everything as prescribed, sprayed each section with a leave in and air dried (on mesh).
Though my hair was not 'crunchy' as with plastic rollers, when I fingered the curls out...my ends had that usual roller set shedding.
I normally shed from root -to -tip, but this shedding was probably breakage. It was like from the ends I could pull little balls of hair off.
In keeping with the low mani, I did not comb through - so why the balls?
So, which is really better? What DOES/is roller-setting supposed to do for the hair.
Thanks, Guru's :notworthy
