Do you rollerset to curl or straighten?

[crlsweetie912]

Ok, I have all these rollers and it just dawned on me that most of the ladies rollerset to straighten and not to curl? Do you switch up? I only rollerset to get a curl and never (before LHCF) thought of rollersetting to get straight hair! Is it just me? Am I a doofus?

I just do mine to curl but I guess using the biggest rollers will help straighten.

I roller set my hair to straighten it.

 

[jadestar]

I rollerset and then wrap for smooth, bouncy curls!!!

I rollerset and pincurls for a curlier look.

Both

I usually do wet rollersets on large rollers to straighten my hair unless I want spirals.

 

[SoniT]

I rollerset for both curly and straight looks. It depends on my mood. If I want a curly look, I use smaller rollers. If I do a roller wrap or doobie, I use the bigger rollers.

Same here. I usually want my hair straight at the roots, but I prefer curls on the ends. After rollersetting, I usually just fingercomb through the roots and crown area to stretch out the curl and smooth the hair.

I didn't know you could straighten your hait with a rollerset, so I always do it to get curls.

If you wrap your hair after a rollerset, it can come out straight with a little bend on the end.

I rollerset to straighten by using the largest rollers my hair will take.

 

[MissFallon]

I love bone straight hair so i rollerset and then apply oil and some cream to make my hair straight. I dont like a bump at the ends...i love it just hanging straight down.

 

[neenzmj]

I rollerset to get smooth curls and to straighten. Every now and then I rollerset to get smooth, all-over curls.

 

[sareca]

I roller set my hair to straighten it.

[sassyhair]

I love curly volumous hair so I rollerset for curly hair. I have not managed to get the rollers tight enough to get my hair str8, but that doesnt matter to me. I have pics of my august rollerset in my album..check it out!

I know something is going wrong with mine. After I get it rollerset I ask them to wrap my hair but it's always thick (big hair) at the roots. Are you all blow drying the roots. I know few ladies who do that but I want to stay away away from the blow dryer.

Both. I really don't like using flat irons or curling irons. Rollersets kill two birds with one stone.

 

[asubeauty]

I rollerset to get curls and straight hair. I wrap after rollersetting to get straight hair with a little bend at the ends. If I want it curly I just take the rollers out and finger comb the curls.

Me too!! Rollersetting/wrapping is so much easier for me, I just don't like sitting under the dryer and my hair does not do that well airdrying

 

[KiniKakes]

I use the big grey rollers to rollerset, in order to dry and ultimately wear straight. Rollersetting gives my hair a fuller, bouncier look, that could not be achieved with a wet wrap............ Then I pin-curl throughout the week in order to keep the hair full w/some curl.

 

[mahogany66]

I alternate b/t curly rollersets and straightsets. I have gotten so much better with my sets ( I am soo proud of myself). After I take out the rollers I add a lil bit of my mtg mixture to my scalp and wrap it. If need be, I would pin-curl my hair throughout the week.

How do you do pincurls?

 

[CoCoGirl821]

I do both, although lately I have been going the straighter look, but I dont wrap my hair I just finger comb and use really big rollers.

rollerset..............................................................

 

[Bosslady1]

Flat iron. When my hair gets longer then I will rollerset.

 

[Dee-Licious]

I do both... it depends on my mood and whether I roll my hair upwards or downwards.

For the past 3 1/2 years, I've airdried in a rollerset using the giant green rollers to straighten my hair, giving it lots of body and shine. I would then make braidouts or updos.

More recently, I've airdried my hair in a rollerset using grey rollers to straighten and create loose, bouncy curls, which I maintain with pincurl setting.

rollerset to straighten

 

[brandiesha]

i chose both. most of the time i wear my hair curly because i am lazy. when its curly all i hafta do is put the bonnet on and go to sleep....but if i rollerset to make my hair straight that requires that i wrap my hair and then in the morning i have to actually comb my hair. HMPH im too lazy for that everyday
