Hey ladies,
Last night I did my touch-up relaxer with bantu regular Lye and I did a rollerset. Both turned out pretty good. I promise to update this thread tonight with pics but since I don't have my camera to upload them first let me tell you what i did.
I relaxed first. I based my scalp well and i used Suave Milk N Honey as a pre-relaxing conditioner. I relaxed with bantu and used my Aveda DR set. It took me about 15 minutes to get the relaxer in and I let it process for about 5 minutes (including smoothing) Some parts of my hair is still texlaxed
Which I don't mind but all the burning that I went through I thought it would be bone straight, which I was going for 
This is NOT for people with sensitive scalps or slow self relaxers. But it is a good relaxer, in my opinion.
Overall I am pretty satisfied with the relaxer, but next time i will have my sis process the front while I do the back. That way I can have more time to let it sit since the front was the part that was underprocessed.
Now, the rollersetting was a huge success. After I relaxed and deep conditioned I used Aveda DR conditioner as a leave-in and sealed it with KeraC oils. I then put my hair in the large purple magnetic rollers with the clamps. I sprayed some heat protectant spray on the hair and got under the dryer for an hour and 15 minutes. I think if it wasn't for the clamps my hair would have came out perfect. But since it was hard to get all the rollers to stay with the clips I resulted to the clamps. This left my hair with HUGE roller clamps prints which i didn't appreciate. But it made my hair UBERLY soft and bouncy and straighter than blowdrying would ever do. Then did the saran wrap method under the dryer for about 10 more minutes. This made my hair a little bit straighter and softer. This is a DEF. must try. I wish i would have stayed for about 15 minutes but it was already 2:30 AM and I was getting too darn sleepy! So I took my sedu and flat ironed the peices that didn't come out right and the roller clamp prints on the front. I moisturized with KeraC creme hairdress (thank you candyC and macherie
) and wrapped for the night.
I am amazed at how my hair looks now i haven't took any comparison pics or updated my fotki since i have a lot of body I will wait until the body leave to post comparison pics.
All and all i will be rollersetting again. But I have to find and alternative to the clamps but something that can keep the rollers in tight. I'll be on the look out. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Bantu made my hair come out very straight in some places which I seriously appreciate. I WILL be using this for my next touch up. It looks like my hair has thickened out soooo much. I can't wait until the length shows/curls loosen so can take pics. I hope this review helped some people.
Macherie or other rollersetters do you have any clue as to how I can get the rollers to stay in tight without the clamps. I got the long metal duck clips but they wasn't cutting it. I couldn't win with those things.
Also how do you rollerset when you are really post relaxer? Do you flat iron or blowdry the roots?
***I will add the pics between 5-8 tonight**
