yes, my hair seems like it is much healthier since I started rollersetting...I think its the way it seals/smooths the cuticle and ends. I lose a lot less hair than when I airdried and it looks much more polished.

What products are you using when rollersetting.
lacio lacio, chi silk infusion, and sometimes elasta qp wrap/set foam

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting.

Hi there,

Yes my hair is much healthier since I've been roller setting my hair. I use the mohawk method. The products I use to rollerset are as follow:

Leave in cond...Fantasia IC leave in
Serum...Fantasia
Water...

I sit under the dryer and once my hair dryes...I add a little sheen or moisture then wrap my hair...add saran wrap and get back under the dryer for about 10 minutes...once I'm done I have the smooth sleek look without the use of a flat iron...

That is the #1 reason that I am thinking about going to start rollersetting at least once a week. (In blue above)

Thank you too. Well I have a goal that I am trying to reach, so I guess I better pass on it this time. My first goal is thick and healthy APL hair and last goal is thick and healthy BSL.

Yes, and I love the body and bounce that my hair gets from it.

What products are you using when rollersetting.
A little Giovanni Direct Leave-In, a little Lottabody setting lotion (or Elasta QP setting lotion)

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting.
Depends. If I have other things to do, I airdry. Otherwise I sit under the dryer

I made some changes to my rollersetting techniques during my last wash and I lost very little hair (I was shocked). I have also lost quite a bit of hair in the past so I think that these changes definitely worked for me!

Would you say that overall your hair is healthy or healthier from rollersetting.

Definitely as long as I use a good detangling shampoo and conditioner. I have made several unsuccessful attempts at air drying. My 4B hair isn't having it! :nono:

What products are you using when rollersetting.

Lacio Lacio

Sat under the dryer on med/high heat

Mohawk with sides up. Definitely check out Macherie's tutorial on her website. It made all of the difference in the world for me!!!

My new growth is fierce so rollersetting becomes quite a challenge for me a few weeks post relaxer. What I did differently this time is used a moisturizing shampoo (Elasta QP Creme Conditioning), used an ORS replenshing pack (AMAZING SLIP!!!) and most importantly for me, I washed my hair in sections this time. While my hair was still dry, I parted it into the mohawk and put elastic bands on each section. I shampooed and conditioned each section separately so when It became time to rollerset, my hair was already sectioned off (less manipulation). Another change I made thanks to Macherie and looking through the hair albums of others on the board was that I used clips to hold my rollers in place instead of using the plastic roller caps.

A combination of the above changes to my routine lead to SIGNIFICANTLY less breakage.

My last step was to use MAcherie's technique for Saran Wrap to wrap my hair. As you can see I was all up on Macherie's website! :lachen:

Angelicus · Dec 9, 2007

Would you say that overall your hair is healthy or healthier from rollersetting? My hair is very healthy, thick, full of volume and shiny thanks to rollersetting. I am actually a daily bunner and wear my hair down sparingly but when I wear it down, I always roller set my hair.

What products are you using when rollersetting? Let me first say that I always deep condition my hair before roller setting my hair. Setting requires a lot of manipulation and combing for me. I wash and condition my hair in sections too. Years ago I used to use creamy conditioners as my leave-in (L'Oreal Unfrizz Smoothing Treatment). Now, sometimes I use Lacio Lacio or Silicon Mix Leave-in Conditioners. Other times I may use ORS Mousse or KeraCare Setting Lotion (heavily diluted). After I finish rolling, I spray oil sheen all over my head. I also spray a little oil sheen before removing them.

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting? Under my ION ionic hooded dryer.

How are you rollering your hair. I use the method provided by Susana at http://www.geocities.com/qreusgurl/RollerExample.html

The best advice I can give to someone that is roller setting is to section the hair before starting the process.

ravenmerlita · Dec 9, 2007

Would you say that overall your hair is healthy or healthier from rollersetting.
Definitely.

What products are you using when rollersetting.
Whatever is handy. My favorites are Kerastase Lait Nutri Sculpt (protective creamy leave-in), Kerastase ChromaPerfect (ligher leave-in that promotes shine) or Ciment Thermique (heat protectant/heat-activated reconstructor).

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting.
Under dryer.

How are you rollering your hair.
Mohawk style down the center with sides rolled vertically.

Jade Feria · Dec 9, 2007

Hmmmmm.......I need to look into this rolling the sides up thing. Thanks anky, for the link!

Would you say that overall your hair is healthy or healthier from rollersetting.
Yes. I've been rollersetting consistently for about 6 weeks now, and I've noticed a difference in my hair already. It seems to be smoother and I've been seeing less breakage.

What products are you using when rollersetting.
Giovanni direct leave-in and Elasta QP design foam

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting.
I sit under the dryer on med/high heat.

2. Mohawk style down the center with sides rolled upward
This is the only way I can get my rollers to clip tight. Rolling down doesn't work for me. When I'm being lazy I do my own version of the ponytail method, I make about 12 little ponytails on my head and then roll up the hair and sit under the dryer.

Miss*Tress · Dec 9, 2007

Would you say that overall your hair is healthy or healthier from rollersetting.
I've been roller setting ever since I got my first relaxer and it is effective for smoothing my natural hair. Look ma, no (direct) heat!

What products are you using when rollersetting.
- Water
- Lately, a mix of coconut, castor, and ylang ylang oils

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting.
Soft bonnet dryer; airdried when my hair was shorter and it would dry overnight. Airdrying in rollers gives very smooth results and I recommend it for shorter hair.

1. Mohawk style down the center with sides rolled down
No. 1

Thanks so much! My avi pic is from July so I actually have to update it. Basically I just started strecting my relaxers and limited the heat (of course, I rollerset too!) :grin:

Also, deep conditioning has made a huge difference.

What products are you using when rollersetting.
Proclaim glossing polish and either Motions wrap foam or Elasta QP foam, less is best.

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting.
I always airdry, but I plan on getting a new hooded dryer for every so often.

How are you rollering your hair.
1. Mohawk style down the center with sides rolled down
I recently started trying it this way as well as rolled upward
2. Mohawk style down the center with sides rolled upward

I've always started in the back first, I part from ear to ear. I work from the bottom up and then I would set the front.

ITA... with the other posters. Anky, your hair looks great in your avi!!!

Wow, look at that avi. Now thats what I call some gorgeous hair. :yep:

ShiShiPooPoo · Dec 9, 2007

Would you say that overall your hair is healthy or healthier from rollersetting. Absolutely healthier, silkier, smoother too ironically. I have been rollersetting as my only form of heat for about 4 months now.

What products are you using when rollersetting. I saturate my hair with Silk Fusion Repair Oil and it renders a marvelous shine which is mandatory in my book. I don't like to use a lot of product.

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting. Usually I air dry first (just so I can take care of some housework and stuff like I'm supposed to be folding clothes right now but instead I'm on LHCF but I digress...) then sit under the dryer to finish it up later.

How are you rollering your hair.
1. Mohawk style down the center with sides rolled down-usually this way

2. Mohawk style down the center with sides rolled upward

3. other-right now I have the rollers just every which a way.

LovelyLionessa · Dec 9, 2007

Would you say that overall your hair is healthy or healthier from rollersetting.
Rollersetting is definitely the healthiest styling option I have found for silky hair with body.

What products are you using when rollersetting.
Lacio Lacio or Aveda Hang Straight sometimes mixed w/a little ORS Mousse.

Do you sit under the dryer or airdry when rollersetting.
I dry under my Babyliss ionic hood dryer.

How are you rollering your hair.
Mohawk style down the center with sides rolled down

BTW Anky, I agree, your hair looks lovely!
