Gorgeous! Please share the details

I shampooed, deep conditioned and then applied my leave in section by section as i rolled them up. I think this is what made me get a really smooth set. I usually just use water as i roll. I also used hourglass rollers.

My hair has been in a bun since last Friday. I used the stretched curlformers set that I showed you guys before to achieve it. I can't wait to set my hair tomorrow! I think I'm going to try large perm rods this time. I think im going to use the salerm 21 and motions foaming wrap lotion to set.

I'm excited to see your perm rod set. I've been wanting to try a complete rod set for a while.

divinerae · Feb 21, 2015

The perm rod set was a complete fail. Puffy roots with only a little curl on the end. It was a miserable night sleep for nothing. I re-wet my hair with foaming wrap lotion/water and put in the curlformers. Perm rods may be something I can only do on dry hair. :eek:

I have yet to master perm rods myself. When I tried I get terribly tight curl. I think I try again it will be with a flat twist or some other stretching technique

My set came out OK. I couldn't figure out how to style it so I ended up separating it a lot. It got me through my event last night so washing it now and putting it back up into twist.

ElevatedEnergy · Feb 22, 2015

Still setting after every wash. This was today's set pulled into a high ponytail to run errands. I plan on twisting or braiding it tonight.

winona · Feb 22, 2015

Set hair and styled in 2 French braids.

Set hair with water, komaza coconut control serum and APB Ayurvedic Oil

Thank You. You are always so encouraging. :bighug:

Lol! I will take a pic next time i wear my hair out.

Blairx0 · Feb 28, 2015

Rollers are out!

I know my hair looks the same. And wear the same jacket each time I set isn't helping, but I swear my hair is growing!

Eboni801 · Feb 28, 2015

Blairx0 your hair looks great. Did you use magnetics? How did you get the top so smooth/straight. My hair tends to get poofy if I use magnetics.

My roots are mysterious creatures. I can lay them down if I roll with magnetics and sleep in flexi rods. If I use dabur vikta enriched coconut oil they will lay down. On this case I did the latter. I did add some heat to the back. It us getting harder to roll the back of my head

Hey ladies,
It's been a while. I've been enjoying seeing all your sets today! Everyone's hair has grown so much in just one month! It's incredible. 2015 is going to bring great things for us hairwise, I can feel it

I'm under the dryer deep conditioning now. Debating on whether I want to do a full flexirod set or a twistout with flexirods at the end. Haven't been posting much because I had my hair straight for the past 3 weeks. Here's a photo of my hair when I just finished flat ironing it and trimmed off 1/8":

That pic was taken Jan 31st. Now it's March 1st (can you believe it?) and my hair has grown about an inch more. I'll take another length shot next time I flat iron my hair. As you can see, I still am having problems getting my hair bone straight, it's wavy and still has texture after a flat-iron session. Next time I straighten, my cousin promised me she'd come over and show me how it's done, because I've been trying for 3 months now and I'm clearly still struggling lol.

My hair seems to like the cycle of 2 weeks straight, 2 weeks curly. I'm going to keep it up for the rest of the year. It's been helping me retain my length and my edges.

faithVA · Mar 1, 2015

This will be my go to style for March; flat twist in the back and perm rods in the front.

Thanks. I'm thinking for the long term I will keep the back up because it's just easier to manage and maintain.

faithVA · Mar 3, 2015

Washed last night and used the Camille Rose Aloe Whipped Gel. Stuck with my flat twist in the back and perm rods in the front. It didn't come out as smooth and shiny as the gel but my hair is soft and moisturized. Now to see if this last as long as the gel. Fortunately with this if I had to I can rewet the sections and rod it again if needed.

girlonfire · Mar 3, 2015

Hey ya'll! Miss me? Lol

I FINALLY got around to trying the strawllers for the second time. This install was much less stressful. However...I only did half my head. I realized that I didn't have enough covers once I was done with half my head. faithVA I am now for sure certain that 2 packs will definitely be enough. I got through the first pack of 12 easily and comfortably and I have normal density hair in my opinion. However my range of motion in my neck still felt a little restricted.

I started with a diagonal section and my nape and just worked my way up to my edges

I'm under the dryer right now.

On a different note I have been learning a lot about the way I wash and detangle my hair. For the last 2-3 weeks I've been experimenting and trying to see if everything I do is really necessary. Turns out I've been doing the most.
Deep conditioning before I detangle: NOT NEEDED
Applying deep conditioner like a relaxer: NOT NECESSARY

Bending my head over whilst detangling helps out so much. I get the tangles that are in my ends and mid shaft out on the first conditioner rinse. Then when 70 percent of my hair is tangle free I flip my head over, do the 2nd rinse and focus on my tangly roots. I feel like I unlocked the secret to the universe. All that takes max 45 minutes on wash and go hair that hasn't been combed for 8 days!

Does anyone know a place where I can buy covers, and not rollers?

girlonfire · Mar 3, 2015

Except for 2 rollers that fell out whilst I was under the dryer, this roller set was a success in my opinion.

Those curls are on fleek. What size rollers or rods did you use?

Thanks! The rollers/rods that I used are strawllers, the beige size. I measured them to be about 1 in.
