I am starting to love rollersetting myself. I just started rollersetting once a week in July and I am getting better and better each time.
This has been the only thing that has been keeping my hair looking decent and feeling healther and more manageable(sp) being that it is overprocessed. (I just recently had a somewhat major chop and my very nice beautician did not want to chop ALL of the damage parts off. So I will just keep trimming gradually everytime I get a touch up)
Right now I spray my hair with a mixture of Rosewater and glycerin. I get nice shine, softness and my hair smells like fresh roses too!
I use megnatic(sp) rollers and the metal pins with the little pockets. I also roll upwards instead of under. I got this idea from Lorraine Tips. You can find her rollersetting tips and more here:

This way I am able to get it tighter and have more room for my other rollers. Also when I am done, I use flexi rods to keep my curls in. They are very easy to sleep on. Oh, I also learned how to blow out my roots from her too! But I only do my front edges and top of my bang. I do not do the middle where you can' t see it anyway. After I am done, I spray my whole head with another mixture of aloe vera and water to really rewet my hair before going under my pibbs.
Question for the ladies that have a LOT of newgrowth. How are you able to rollerset and not have a lot of breakage when you take your rollers out? Right now I am 5 weeks post. I am not having difficulty yet but I could imagine what it would be like in the next 3 weeks or so.erplexed
