Last night's roller-setting rendezvous using Elasta QP setting foam and pink magnetic rollers. Dried on high speed/warm
Pretty results. Love it.

I really need to start posting more again. I just cut off about 3inches of hair because I wasn't satisfied with the way my ends looked :O. So 2015 I'm looking to get my 3 inches back healthy and strong. I'm under the dryer with keratase oleo leavin and apb Ayurvedic oil. I wash elucence mb poo and dc with apb Ayurvedic mud mask. I will post pics of my hair tomorrow when I take out the rollers
ETA Photos I like to use smaller rollers because I can get root super straight

Thank you. Yeah my curlformer sets come out straighter then when I tried to press it. Maybe I will continue to do them on dry hair.

I use two combs but both on the smaller end. I use the first to remove any tangles and then use a rattail to smooth my ends.

I'm 10 weeks post. I did a perm rod set yesterday.
I prepooed overnight night with Coconut Oil
Cowashed with SSI Blueberry Cowash Conditioner (let it sit for 15 mins under a cap before rinsing).
Then sprayed my hair with Aveda brilliant damage control spray, 2 pumps of SSI Coco Creme Leave in Conditioner and half pump of Organix Coconut Milk Anti Breakage Serum (focusing on my ends mostly).
To set I used Keracare Setting Lotion diluted with water.
I didn't get to take a pic yesterday when I took them out but here is day 2...

winona For the last 2 months, I have put my comb down. I will only pull out the small tooth rat tail comb for my ends only if needed.

Tension, years of practice & wine! lmbo There are still a few kinks as you see in the hair overall but it's good enough for me.

Im baaaaaaack lol
Current length: past waist (essentially)
Natural
I use predominantly magnetic rollers but I've got flexi rods, perm rods and curl formers so I'll be dabbling
Current setting products: it's a 10 leave in, joico k-pak smoothing balm.
I would like to get my routine down to a science. I want to perfect it so that if I have no interruptions. I can get it done in 3 hrs 15 min max. I want to get to hip length which may be my final goal, we'll see. I would like to have more even, fuller hair.
I plan to set bi-weekly. I've learned my lesson about avoiding wash day. No no no. Last year I found some styles that I wanted to try so every now and then I'll be doing that. A wig or two, maybe some faux locs.

Yea my bathroom is a hot mess. Catch me in the that girl challenge trying to get it together.

Used a wide tooth comb working my way to trying no comb:O. I'm not bold enough yet. My tension is on point but I need to try no comb when I have plenty of time to redo just in case. I barely have time for once a week and I can't look busted for an entire week.
ETA
I didn't shampoo. Hair was feeling too thirsty
DCed with redken all soft heavy cream. Detangled and cowashed with elucence moisture benefits conditioner
Rinse set with keratase oleo relax leave in, apb Ayurvedic cream and water
French mesh rollers, metal clips and covers
Will sit under dryer for 20-30mins and sleep in rollers (. I'm sure I'm a regret it but a girl is tired)
