I many not be the best roller-setter out there, any but I think I have a few good tips for anyone who is looking to get a smoother rollerset. I have rollerset my natural, relaxed and now transitioning hair and I think by doing so I figured out a way to get a nice smooth set with out having to flat iron the roots.

I hope you don't mind clicking on the link. There are plenty of pics!

Tell me what you think!

so far its my favorite leave in, like ever!

the consistency,the smell and the shine is perfect! I just hate how small the bottle is. It was totally worth the money though:yep:

I haven't tried the regular version but I am quite satisfied with this one.

Napp thanks for the tips:) This week I am going to attempt to use my conical rollers for the first time:/

I have a few snap rollers but I dont think they are big enough to use with my rollers. Do you or anyone else know where I can just get the snappy part without purchasing the entire roller?

Your hair looks great! How do you pin curl?

Also what do you mean by rolling upwards? What would be rolling downwards? :lol: wouldnt you always be rolling upwards even if it were under or over? sorry for the dumb question .

I notice also that I get the smoothest rollerset rolling up instead of down. And for some reason it doesn't take as long also. Thanks for the tips.

I think rolling upwards means rolling the hair onto the roller going towards your face as opposed to your nape area. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i pin curl by taking the end and rolling on the side of the section so they stay flat against my head. its a little hard to explain so i might make a diagram or video about it.

its not a dumb question at all!

there was this really neat illustration that showed how to rollerset.

this is also an example of rolling down. just flip it around(roller on top of hair) and it will be rolling up!:lol:

Napp What kind of hair dryer are you using? Curious because I need something that will accommodate large curlers. For Example, the gray ones that you had on.

Sorry I didn't see this:/. I can't see mentions on my phone and that is where I normally am:). I got my rollers directly from a distributor in Italy. I am going to try this tomorrow:) and will report back with my results

Very nice Napp. I am only about 30% relaxed and my hair is pretty much still very curly so this might very well help me achieve silkier roller sets. Thanks for sharing.

Sitting under the dryer using your technique now:)

So next time I will be using end papers but I think it came out good considering this is my first set like this. I used conici rollers and it only took me 1 hr to dry at 50
