So I may be about to attempt the impossible tomorrow. Literally just got back to the states after 21 hours of traveling. I need to buy the rollers and what I'm going to use on my hair and then finish washing and setting my hair...I already have a pre-poo/dc in my hair and that will stay overnight because it was so gross and dry while I was running around. I think I decided I would try to rollerset my hair with just a leave-in and a light oil. I'm afraid any gel would make my hair crunchy...but we shall see, that's if I even wake up with enough energy for any of it.
Alright! So update, first roller set was FAR from a success....took me a gazillion years to vaguely get the hang of getting my hair around the roller, used way too much product because my hair kept drying up and when I took them down it was so textured. I ended up having to brush it out and ever so lightly flat iron my hair, and I've been rocking flat twist outs/buns that way.
Tweaks to make in the future, actually having a spray bottle with just water on hand, maybe investing in end papers since my ends would not uncurl for anything and using smaller rollers first. Also figuring out a better rolling pattern, the mohawk is good but when I got to the sides all hell broke loose.
